How’d he get here?: Bradford was mainly considering Syracuse and Virginia Tech during the transfer process but stuck with the Orange.

Money quote: Bradford told Sports Illustrated’s Mike McAllister what Syracuse could expect from him.

“They can expect a good teammate,” Bradford said. “They can expect a hard worker. Great competition. That’s what I can promise them.”
