What's the upside of Tucker? We can now concentrate on getting a banger a big or a pure shooter. IMO you never have enough shooters in college basketball.

The upside is he was a guard a short time ago that could not only shoot but handle the ball well, from everything I hear he could play the 1,2 and 3 positions, we now have 3 pure shooters for 2013 2014 with great size and length, we now need a nother center and forward.
With Fields and Grier sitting out and the 2 new recruits added we have put together a great start for the future of BU basketball, I fully expect coach Coleman to find us more great recruits, future is looking so much better now then it has in awhile.

Tucker's school - QEA - has also come under fire for violations....although not athletic..

Tip of the iceberg...

Geno Ford is going to visit & watch Mike Tucker in tonight's game

QEA plays the Wesleyan Christian Academy Trojans from High Point, NC who are currently undefeated at 6-0
..they have several D-I players...senior Trey Chapman is headed to VMI
but Class of 2014 PG JaQuel Richmond (4-Stars and getting high major offers) is still undecided..
They also have 6-5 SF Theo Pinson (2014 & 5-STARS - getting plenty of early offers including Duke, UNC..) and 6-8 big man Harry Giles (2016 - also getting early attention/offers from Duke & UNC)

[Braves4Life]

QEA staged a frantic 4th quarter rally after being down by 15 points. They still end up losing to powerhouse WCA 70-63. WCA is likely the best team in the state of NC and one of the best in the country. Mike Tucker lead QEA with 27 points.

... 6-8 big man Harry Giles (2016 - also getting early attention/offers from Duke & UNC)

14-year old Giles dominated this game with a few highlight reel dunks. He's probably going to be a top 10 player nationally by the time he's a senior.

14, dominated with highlight dunks and you say top 10. Are you undervaluing the kid. At 14 most of us were lucky to dribble and hit a layup during games against JV competition.

here's more highlights...lots of dunks..

#1 is the FRESHMAN Harry Giles - how'd you like to have him signed to go to Bradley!
Michael Tucker is #24 on the team in white - gotta box out better!

BTW -- the kid who is #22 in white on Tucker's team is also a freshman -- I hope Geno keeps an eye on him and stays in contact!

Tucker had 19 last night in a loss to National Christian - 2014 teammate SG Hakeem Coney had 26

[doug shank's crossover]

Those prep school games always feature lots of dunks and baaaad defense. They seem to be a showcase for individual athleticism and offensive prowess rather than overall basketball fundamentals and skills....kind of reminiscent of a McDonalds All-America game. I'm sure one week in the gym at BU and Mr. Tucker will fully understand the value of fundamental basketball as it's played in D1 BB.
