For Bradley guard Dyricus Simms-Edwards, his just-completed five-game tour of Europe was “the opportunity of a lifetime.”
The BU sophomore’s first venture outside of the country, as part of a 10-man college all-star team organized by Global Sports Academy, was a positive experience in every way.
Former Bradley basketball recruit Michael Ochereobia has enrolled at Highland Community College in Freeport and intends to play basketball this season for the Cougars.
Highland coach Zac Roman is high on Ochereobia, a 6-foot-8, 255-pounder. The native of England played last year for a prep school in the Canary Islands.
