"I'm definitely looking forward to it. My mom lives probably about 20 minutes away from where we're going to be staying. Hopefully I can get a home-cooked meal." (HSB)
HSB Note: "He's increased his output in each of his first three games, catching eight passes for 189 yards in a loss at UNLV last weekend. That performance raised his season totals to 18 receptions for 381 yards and four touchdowns and pushed him into fifth in the country in receiving yards."
About how Bradley has learned quickly and has been doing well, Ron Lee said:
"He's got that speed and he's smart and very coachable. He's going to get better. When he first got here you could tell that he didn't have a heavy background in receiving compared to what we do. But he worked hard and he worked on his conditioning with the amount of running we do." (HSB)
About how he never considered playing for UH would be an option until Navarro assistant coach Kevin Curtis talked with him, Bradley said:
"He asked me, 'Rodney would you mind playing for Hawaii?' I was like, are you serious?" (HSB)
HSB Note: "Curtis played for UH head coach Greg McMackin at Texas Tech and again with the San Francisco 49ers, and contacted his former mentor regarding Bradley and cornerback Tank Hopkins."
About how Curtis told him about Bradley and Hopkins, Mac said:
"He called me and said they don't throw the football, but Rodney could have played for us at Texas Tech or anywhere." (HSB)
Mac said that even though Bradley had limited opportunities to catch the ball at his JC (22 passes his freshman year, 29 his sophomore year):
"we could see he could run and catch and he's just a great person." (HSB)
About how he worried for awhile that playing in a running offense would limit his recruiting chances, Bradley said:
"But after a while I let it go, because if it was meant to be, then I'd be somewhere. Plus, I couldn't control it." (HSB)
About moving Salas to slot to allow Bradley to start at wideout, Ron Lee said:
"We couldn't have Rodney on the bench. There was always the possibility of Greg moving back outside, but it worked out to be a good move. Because of his speed, we had to get Rodney on the field." (HSB)
About how he hasn't been hampered during games by his turf toe problem, Bradley said:
"It's funny. I don't feel it during the game. All the way to the game it's killing me, then I don't feel it." (HSB)
