I assume you're suggesting that Bradley doesn't have much depth?


I’m not suggesting that at all.

After the Red White game many fans are touting the depth and how BU could go 12 deep. I doubt it. While there are expectations you need probably three dudes who are clearly better than everyone else and they get 33-35 minutes a game. Not that many minutes to go around after that.


I don't think anyone is quite saying we will go 12 deep. That would mean that Goanar or Linke gets minutes. I don't see that happening. I think Bradley starts the year with the other 11. Probably Pettigrew and Thomas are at the bottom of that. They will get minutes and opportunity because of the talent that they have and to see how they can make the most of that as Wardle messes with lineups and rotations but that will all likely vary game to game. I think by the time we get to conference play Bradley will solidly be down to an 8-9 man rotation like most teams always do headlined by Deen, Hickman, Leons and Hannah with 3-5 other contributors who prove themselves best to Wardle over the next month or two.
