Michael Tucker goes for 25 pts in first game for his new team

I think the future of BU hoops would be a little brighter with news of possibly getting a big for next season. As it stands, we are in big trouble without another big who can come in and contend for a starting spot.

Agreed. Again we appear to be "guard heavy" and the prospect of either SS or NW contributing significantly next year appear to be bleak.[/QUOTE]

Let's face it SS is closer to being a 3 then a 4 as well. JP is playing out of position and would be much better producer as a 4.

more on the investogation of Tucker's former school as a "basketball mill"

...and they just hired yet another basketball coach..a high school "recruiting coordinator"!

Will this hurt Tuckers incoming eligibility at Bradley? Will his transcripts from that school come under scrutiny?

[tornado]

maybe but if he gets a HS degree from his Georgia high school, then I think that'll go a long way to solving the problem.
If not and he has to get extra courses at another prep school - then he becomes fair game for other recruiters...

I disagree. Shayok played the 3 last year because Taylor Brown couldn't/wouldn't. Geno played him (Shayok) out of position because he wanted to get him on the floor. Shayok wanted to play in the post and Geno knows that it's his better position.

Still slightly miffed about our last Tucker.

Wanting to and being able to body up in the back court is two different things. SS just does not have the body type to be a solid 4. He'd be best served to work on speed and shooting then creating post up moves in the post, IMO.

The latest Atlanta area poll came out - and Tucker's Alcovy isn't even ranked among the top 25 in just the Atlanta area...
...and in the statewide rankings - they are #167

Bradley is still linked to a couple of the best UNSIGNED KIDS...Thomas Hamilton, AJ Riley, Gavin Schilling.....
but by now we're probably talking a lot of borderline D-I guys or issues with qualifying among the guys on this list...

The previous coach did ok finding players in this category, and I think Geno can as well.

Michael Tucker's new high school team just can't do much with him currently ineligible...

Tuesday night they got blown away by 32 points...
