I have heard the visit is going well, and he is scrimmaging this afternoon at an open gym on campus. Also there are some BU players, and a couple future recruits.

One of them is Nathan Taphorn from Pekin -- son of a guy who played at a different college -- and a kid who has been lighting it up everywhere he plays..
"2013 SF 6'6 Nathan Taphorn on unofficial to Bradley today"
he is already setting up visits to DePaul, Illinois, Michigan, Northwestern...
"Best Performances:
Nathan Taphorn for the Illinois Wolves 16’s against Eric Gordon All-Stars. The 6’6” SF from Pekin scored 26 points
that led the Wolves back from a double digit deficit in the first half to beat EG. Taphorn hit 6 three-pointers on eight attempts."
A writeup by ESPN....
"Illinois Wolves 16s guard Nate Taphorn (Pekin, Ill./Pekin) put on a shooting display worthy of a college audience.
Unfortunately, college coaches weren't allowed in the building to see him drain six 3-pointers in one game."
And this...
"Impressive weekend for shooter"

Matt is his uncle; Nate's dad played at UW-Green Bay."But instead lets just hate while their MBB and WBB programs play blackjack against BU. Twenty-One in a row, seven by the Men & 14 by their women." ~NSBF

He sounds like a JC clone. If this kid is a dead-eye shooter then we could definitely use him. It's no coincidence that BU had its most successful season when Crouch and others hit the 3 to open the middle and vice versa.Comment

In addition to Nikola Cerina and Nathan Taphorn, there were a couple other recruits at tonight's open gym, but we are not hearing that there were any other offers.
As noted elsewhere, former BU recruit Jeff Early has signed with SIU.Comment

We probably won't be hearing about any new commitments tonight or tomorrow.Comment

The other was Manual HS junior-to-be A.J. Riley- he is a 6'2" point guard who is starting to get recognition as one of the top players in Illinois in the class of 2013.
YouTube video- A.J. Riley is #14-

Actually, in the most successfull season, 05-06, JC did not start a single game. However, his shooting did do just what you say in 06-07.Originally posted by Braves4Life View PostComment

AJ is quite an impressive player who is a legit 6'2. The only thing missing from his bag of tricks is the ability to consistently knock down mid-range jumpers.
He handles the ball well, has great court vision, and he can drive to the hoop (as you can see in those clips). If he can show coaches that he can knock down jump shots, he'll probably get a D-1 offer.Comment
