Michael Tucker commits to BU!

[Da Coach]

We don't have any confirmation yet from Bradley, but then most of the basketball people are in Indianapolis yesterday and today, so maybe it is still on the fax machine.

But here is a report from a reliable recruiting guru Horace Neysmith that Mike Tucker has signed his Letter of Intent for Bradley.

[Da Coach]

Here is a picture of Michael Tucker (#24 in white) playing for Quality Education Academy against the #1 prep school team in the country Huntington Prep on Friday (11/23) in a tournament in Charlotte, NC. He is shown guarding the #1 ranked player in the country Andrew Wiggins, a 6'7" forward who is being recruited by Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, Ohio State, Syracuse, and other top schools. Huntington beat QEA 50-40.

Wiggins??™ puts on aerial display

It didn??™t take long for No. 1 Huntington Prep (Huntington, W.Va.) swingman Andrew Wiggins to satisfy the capacity crowd??™s anticipation that he??™d do something special.

On the second play of the Express??™ game against Quality Education Academy (Winston Salem, N.C.), Wiggins went up to snag an offensive rebound. As soon as his feet hit the ground, he sprung back up and threw down a monster slam over Quality Education guard Michael Tucker, drawing a foul on the play.

Different video, same play (at the very beginning) -- http://www.cityleaguehoops.net/2012/11/24/charlotte-hoops-challenge-day-one-top-performers/

I understand we're looking hard at 6'8" Jordan Robinson... It sounds like he performed well.

Tucker's #24. Robinson is to Tucker's right #55.

Michael Tucker (Covington, Ga. /Quality Education), SF, 2013
With ideal size for a small forward, Tucker can knock down treys, attack the basket and make solid passes. He utilizes his strong body to get in a defensive stance and lock down opposing wings. With his frame and strength he has made improvements defensively as he can defend three positions.

Center Jordan Robinson (Winston Salem, N.C./QEA) watched as the first signing period pass and didn??™t react. ???I want a school that works around big men,??? Robinson said. ???A school that??™s close to home so my mom can drive to my games.??? The perfect fit geographically will be tough for the native of Canada to achieve, and he??™s received varying degrees of interest from Xavier, Tennessee Tech, Washington, Villanova, Miami, Iowa and Indiana.
