Bradley is recruiting 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.
A.J. made an unofficial visit to Bradley on 5/10/11.

Good game; great kid.

A. J. Riley now has an official offer from Bradley coach Ford.

Scout.com rates him as a 3 star recruit:

Is he really projected to be a SG? I thought he didn't play the point for Manual simply because they have Jeff White?

[45otseoj]

I'm not sure if he can guard the point.

AJ is a great fit for BU if he decides on that. Perfect Valley Player. He is not a PG right now. More of a slashing SG or Combo G. His best strength right now is his ability to defend. He can guard a 1, 2, or 3 because of his quicknes, length, and strength.

If he had an outside jumper that was pretty consistant, a high major would take a chance. He is a very good player!

He works hard and continues to improve all the time! Break Out Year At Manual This Year, mark my words!

Any word on how it went?

[Da Coach]

Nothing I can report.

I have heard that AJ's visit went quite well -- it is not the first time he has visited but he was a guest at Bradley's first practice - so that's kind of an honor..

Now being able to recruit two local kids in this class and get them would be major! I would have to believe signing A.J. would be a priority. Another local kid that would be a perfect fit for the Braves.

DC noted in the game thread.. AJ was at the game this week.
The next day SIU entered the recruiting fray for him.. Coach Lowry was at his school.

Geno was in the house for the Manual v. Central game last night.

I watched A J play in morton last night for the first time. I think he would be a great recruit for BU.. Quick and strong with the ball and played good defense..If we could get him and Alec Peters we would be in real good shape!!

I agree both would look good in a BU uni.
