BU commit- Class of 2014- Donte Thomas

[Da Coach]

I just heard from someone close to the BU staff that head coach Geno Ford has offered a scholarship to Donte Thomas of Thornwood High School in South Holland, Illinois. He is an extremely athletic 6-6 wing forward. He plays for Meanstreets AAU team.

Sounds good, hope we can lock-up a couple of these recruits!

Donte Thomas will make an official visit to Bradley on Friday, Sept. 13.

Donte Thomas still scheduled for a visit this Friday. Some recruiting experts are reporting that his stock has risen as much as anyone's lately.

[Da Coach]

Donte Thomas is on his way for his official visit to the BU campus today and tomorrow.

[Da Coach]

I heard that Donte Thomas did not have school today, so he came down to Peoria last PM. He was hanging with Mike Shaw and some of the other players last night, and has been touring the campus and city today with Coach Ford. He will go back home tomorrow.

I also notice a mention of Tyquone Greer who has/had a Bradley offer. Does anyone know if we are still recruiting him?

[Da Coach]

I don't know about Greer. Do we need more wing players?
