Brad Ernest Waldow (born December 30, 1991) is an American basketball player who last played for the Bashkimi of the Kosovo Superleague. He competed in college for the St. Mary's Gaels.
Waldow began playing competitive basketball in eighth grade. In his sophomore season at Ponderosa High School, he slimmed down and had a growth spurt that saw him increase his height from 6'2 to 6'7. Waldow averaged 26 points and 11 rebounds per game as a senior. Despite this, he was lightly recruited and one of the few collegiate offers came from St. Mary's.[1]
College career
Waldow redshirted his freshman year at St. Mary's, which he used to add muscle to his frame.[1] In an overtime win against San Diego on March 10, 2013, Waldow contributed 23 points, 16 rebounds, and four blocked shots and had a tooth knocked out while fighting for a rebound. He then tried to hand the tooth to coach Randy Bennett.[2] After the incident, Waldow used a vampire mouthguard and had reconstructive dental surgery.[1]
Due to better conditioning, Waldow put up 15 points and 7.5 rebounds per game as a junior and improved his post game.[1] Waldow was a First-Team All-West Coast Conference and NABC All-District selection as a junior and senior. He set a career high with 29 points in a game against Boise State on December 6, 2014. As a senior, Waldow posted 19.0 points and 9.1 rebounds per game. He was one of two players in the country to average in excess of 19 points and nine rebounds per game alongside Iona's David Laury. He finished his St. Mary's career ranked second in games played with 134 and fourth in points (1,743), rebounds (900) and blocks (133). Waldow participated in the Reese's Division I College All-Star Game on April 3, 2015, and had 12 points and six rebounds.[3]
