BU player interviews, Nathan Taphorn, and lots more...

Here's a blog about Bradley basketball, Geno Ford, and more... by a sophomore BU student Brett Addis.
Great job and I hope to see more!
He interviews Jordan Prosser, Charonn Woods, and Walt Lemon, Jr. and asks how they're doing and about Geno...
BTW -- Walt looks like he's been working on his jumper and has a nice release and a little less arc...

Here's another article on Geno -- but one source notes that Christian himnself may be on the hot seat this year at Texas Christian...

Nathan Taphorn -- a subject of discussion yesterday in this blog -- finished his "unofficial" visit at Bradley yesterday and picked up his very first OFFER...
Taphorn now has an offer from Bradley.
Manual's AJ Riley was also on Bradley's campus on an unofficial visit.

BTW -- we do seem to have some discrepancy ---
Mike Mullins, Nathan Taphorn's AAU coach said Nathan's visit to Bradley was an "unofficial visit"...

While it is being reported elsewhere that it is an "official" visit.


There were two other players at Bradley yesterday on officials...Nikola Cerina and Malcolm Herron...

Here's more on ...Cerina and Herron



Texas A&M going hard after Wichita State's Gregg Marshall -- hey, why not, getting a Wichita State coach didn't hurt them last time when they lured Mark Turgeon.

Here's an interesting story -- Creighton just landed a kid from Crete-Monee HS in Crete, IL...Michael Orris...

Yesterday the head basketball coach at Crete-Monee was put on leave pending an investigation by state agencies..but there's little more being released....
This is all very mysterious but sounds quite serious as there's a hint they are digging into his past...

Ex-BU recruit Jamari Traylor is visiting Texas Tech this week -- he has terrible academics and most schools, including Bradley dropped off for that reason.



Here's a great story -- a HIGH SCHOOL sophomore from Maryland gets a CASH OFFER to go and play in Italy!! They are offering nearly a MILLION DOLLARS!!
This is a very disturbing potential trend if the Euros are going to start robbing the cradle and taking high school sophomores...
