BU recruit- class of 2013- Nathan Taphorn

[BSSFan#1]

This is NOT a knee jerk offer. He would be a great get if we can pull it off. I've known his father a very long time. In fact I officiated many of his games in HS. The kid can play and will only get better. Here's hoping we can get him on the hilltop in a couple of years. If not mistaken I think he is related to JC thru marriage. Don't know if that would help now or not.

The relation to Crouch by marriage needs a flow chart to determine.

How's his recruiting going? You would have to believe he would be a perfect fit for BU.

I talked to his dad several weeks ago and Nate is very interested in BU but is keeping his options open. He likes GF alot so that has to help. Dad said he and mom would like him to stay close to home so they can see him play. Think BU Nate think BU.We'd love to see you as a Brave. What ever you do DON'T listen to Uncle Matt.

I'm one of the guys who really does not care where a recruit comes from but the 2013 class would be great with a few local guys!

Visiting Wisconsin this weekend

Wisconsin is in. Visit to UWGB. Encouraging that he mentions BU and Creighton as two standouts.

FWIW, Nathan has been to the last 2 Bradley games on his own, and not as a guest of Bradley.

[tornado]

Pekin is 2-1 over the Holiday weekend (Decatur Tourney)...and Nate Taphorn is averaging 13 ppg...
he also played tough defense in his Saturday game, holding a 21 ppg scorer to single digits...
Nathan was at the Illini's Sunday game...

[tornado]

Pekin is now 3-1 after beating Limestone and Nate is averaging 12.5 ppg, 6 rpg, 4 steals..
His numbers are not gawdy...and so the attention may be less than it was last summer -- with Bradley still one of his only two offers.

[buschsquirrel2011]

Tornado or other Central IL guys...I realize both of them will grow, mature, etc. but right now who is the better player--Nate Taphorn or Alec Peters from Washington?

Which one is the better "prospect" right now?

[tornado]

I have not seen much of Peters, but Taphorn knows so much about the game and is always where you want him, playing nice defense, and distributing the ball.....doesn't need to score to help his team...

taphorn

He has more than 2 offers...Bradley, Washington st and Colorado State..Valpo i believe has offered as well as UIC too.

He could not carry his team over Sienna bound Bisping and Morton!! Mt question is a game changer? I have not seen Washington play yet! I would ask the same question...Do you think that either kid is a DSE or a JP to his team?

[lefty]

I have not seen Taphorn play at all. But I'm thinking if he's 6'6 and shoots lights out he would have more 10 points a game at this level. I don't know if that's his avg or not but the box scores I see don't look like much.
He gets maybe 7-8 shots a game....maybe Mott restricts him a bunch I don't know....has anyone seen him this year?
