It has been a busy recruiting weekend for Geno Ford and Bradley.

BU got its second commitment of the day with 6-8 JUCO forward Jermaine Morgan from Moberly CC in Missouri. Morgan isn't a huge offensive threat but known to be a very good defensive player, rebounder and shot blocker. An agile big man.

He averaged 8.5 pts, 8.4 rebs and 1.7 blocks per game at Moberly. He shot 58% from the floor and 74% from the line.

He committed to Colorado State out of Whitney Young High School in Chicago in 2012. Current BU assistant Chin Coleman was on the staff at CSU. When Tim Miles went to Nebraska Morgan got out of his LOI and went to Moberly. He then signed with Washington State in November over Bradley and New Mexico.

Ken Bone was fired at Wazzu this spring and Morgan was allowed out of his letter. Thanks to the connection with Chin Coleman and the location to Chicago he chose Bradley.

BU now has one ride left and are really hoping top 100 forward Josh Cunningham commits this week.

He also had offers from Iowa and Minnesota out of high school, playing alongside Okafor and Hamilton (who was a big miss for BU last year).

If Ford lands Cunningham this class is a grand slam and that alone should tamp down the heat on him (which isn't all that much yet).

He seems to have a pretty good track record of picking coaches who end up being fired. Coincidence or saboteur? I'll let you decide.

I think the only coach he signed for who got fired was Bone. Miles' leaving for Nebraska was of his own volition. Anyway, I don't think he has to worry about Ford going anywhere for his two years.
