Bryant Lands Another

Bryant University picked up their second commitment in as many weeks with a verbal pledge from Curtis Oakley, a six-foot-four forward from Brush High School in Lynhurst, Ohio. 

Oakley, the nephew of former NBA star Charles Oakley, visited the Smithfield, Rhode Island campus last week.

"I like the school and the academic side and I felt comfortable," he told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I want to get away from home. It's time to get out and see the world and experience new things."

The commitment reinforces Bryant head coach Tim O'Shea's pipeline to Ohio, where he was previously the head coach at the University of Ohio.

Oakley is the second player to commit to the Bulldogs in the last ten days, joining Worcester Academy big man Andrew Scocca in committing to the Bulldogs in the last ten days.
