Auston Barnes gave Bradley a verbal commitment today after visiting this weekend.

He was the 4th leading scorer and leading rebounder for Odessa College this past season. He started his career at Central Michigan where he started 8 or 9 games as a freshman.

He is a legit 6-7 with long arms. Considered a very good defensive player, athletic and is surprisingly a good three-point shooter. He should help Bradley's interior depth the next two seasons.

PJ Star article on Barnes.

Cliff notes version:

Detroit and Colorado State other schools in the mix
Similar game to Will Egolf (post player who is a good defender and has the ability to make the three point shot)
Played hockey growing up and still developing in basketball
