Texas A&M Basketball adds 2020 SG LaDamien Bradford to the fold
LaDamien Bradford, one of the newest names to enter the recruiting scene for high major basketball programs this summer, just became the newest member of Buzz Williams’ 2020 recruiting class.
The 6’4” shooting guard from Jonesboro, Louisiana arrived in College Station last Friday afternoon on an official visit. Before the visit began, it was hinted there was a good chance Bradford would announce a verbal commitment to the Aggies and that’s exactly how it has played out.
The lengthy perimeter athlete has been heavily recruited by the likes of Steve Prohm at Iowa State and Gregg Marshall at Wichita State with other high major programs hot on the trail.
Bradford was a point guard as he started his basketball career, but after a growth spurt, he can now usually be found playing off the ball at the wing. His strengths are considered to be his court vision and getting in the paint to finish at the rim.
However, he has greatly improved his outside shot and continues to hone his ball-handling skills from his point guard days. His ability to play multiple positions around the perimeter fits perfectly into the style of play and the type of recruit Buzz looks for in a player.
Buzz continues to stockpile versatility and athleticism on the Aggie roster. With the addition of the Louisiana native, the maroon and white will find themselves with more speed, athleticism and scoring ability along the perimeter. Not only does this add to depth at the offensive end, but Bradford is a recruit that has the ability to create havoc on defense.
