Cade Hardtke is the steady Bradley reserve who brings coachable, low-mistake guard play
In the 2024-25 season, Bradley guard Cade Hardtke was a limited-usage senior who appeared in 5 games and averaged 1.2 points, while earlier seasons showed the same theme: modest minutes, clean role acceptance, and a willingness to do the little things. He’s a 6-foot-2, 190-pound local product from Lombard, and the Bradley staff has repeatedly trusted him enough to keep him in the program while he earned conference and academic honors. The appeal here is depth, maturity, and practice-floor reliability, not headline numbers.
