“They just have a great program, family environment and a lot of the top players go there,” Bradley said. “It’s great, just a great environment.”
Bradley also holds offers from North Carolina, Alabama, Auburn, DePaul, Florida, Florida State, Kansas, Louisville, Michigan, NC State, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Texas Tech, UCLA, Wake Forest and Xavier, among others.
“I’m just going to continue to keep getting better and work on my game,” he said. “I’m going to talk to my family and see when I’m going to make my decision or narrow my list down. I just have to talk to my family on that one.”
Bradley says he’s looking for a ‘family-based’ program.
“I’m looking to have a good relationship with the coach, somewhere that I fit the program, where I feel comfortable and that helps me get to the next level,” he said.
According to 247Sports.com, Bradley is ranked as the No. 3 point guard and No. 16 overall prospect in the Class of 2022.
“I’m definitely a team-player,” he said. “I like to get my teammates involved. I like pushing it downhill. I can score and do a little bit of everything.”
Kentucky currently has one commitment in the 2022 class after five-star combo guard Skyy Clark committed to the Wildcats in October.
