Jake Eastman, the 6-foot-4 guard who orally committed to Bradley 12 days ago, is expected to sign his National Letter of Intent with the school on Thursday.
Eastman, a senior at Douglas Freeman High School in Richmond, Va., will wait until the second day of the spring signing period so his father, Boston Celtics assistant coach Kevin Eastman, can be present at the signing ceremony held at the high school.
The younger Eastman, who averaged 16 points, 8.0 rebounds and 7.5 assists last season, is expected to be the lone BU signee this week. Bradley has one scholarship remaining to give for the 2009-10 season.
In other Bradley news, freshman guard Darian Norris, who was released from the program on April 1, is planning to transfer to Salt Lake (Utah) Community College.
This past season, SLCC was 31-6 and won the national NJCAA championship last month at Hutchinson, Kan., beating Midland (Texas) 67-60.
The 5-11 Norris played in 35 of Bradley’s 36 games, averaging 3.5 points.
