2013 Recruit- SF Alec Peters

Da Coach said:
Though I don't think the new Bradley coaches have recruited Alec, they are very aware of him and have seen him play multiple times. I also suspect Bradley will become involved with him before all is said and done.

Not really sure what we are waiting on. Everyone I've talked to says he is a great shooter and we should be all over him. Hopefully we don't get in on him when it's to late,unless Geno has some better people that he thinks he can bring in.
 
great shooter

great shooter

i will tell you this...i have seen him play in the summer and he is the elite shooter in the area..Bar None..great stroke..does it in big games...only a junior and if he played for the Illinois Wolves AAU Program he would have high major offers right now. Dont count BU out yet

Not counting out BU, but if the staff wants to recruit this kid, they better hurry up and initiate contact.

Well he is a decent player but not high major...shoots it well but not athletic...plays hard..a lot of schools seen him play this summer and not one high major offer came.

well if he is as good as people say and he played in front of Iowa, SIU-E, Loyola, Ball St and Colorado State. I am sure a high offer will come, but I just dont see it. Time will tell. Nice kid though.

Why the change of opinion? Is Alec a late bloomer? I have heard that a lot of area people in the know now rank him ahead of Taphorn.

I agree we better do it and the sooner the better. As I've said before ,I really liked Bispling but I like Peters better. Someone on another post said they like Peters better then Taphorn and I have to agree.
 
Improved

Improved

he has improved...since July..no doubt..think he is a great kid as well and i am sure BU can use the shooting...i know they can!!
 
I believe Alec will have some high major offers this spring and summer. 6'7 and can flat shoot the leather off the ball. He also has toughness and IQ to go with it. First school that comes to mind (High Major Wise) is Wisconsin! Just an Opinion. But I know he is open to all schools and not worried what confrence they play in or where they are located. Just wants to be a good fit for him academically and basketball wise!

He seems to be a late bloomer recruiting wise so that is why I was curious. The scary part of this is that there is a possibility that he could get taller!

As of last week, four MVC schools have been in contact. Bradley is not one of the four.

I agree midstate. From the video, high major teams like Wisconsin or Purdue seem to be a perfect fit.

I don't understand why we aren't all over him instead of Taphorn. I like Taphorn but I like Peters much better. I guess we have to have faith Geno has people better that he thinks he can get. Time will tell.

I don't follow the local recruiting scene but it seems there are a lot of people who are high on Peters, even moreso than Taphorn. I have a buddy who keeps an eye on the local scene and here is what he said (verbatim) about the two:

"peters is more polished at this point, but doesn't have the upside of taphorn. one recruiter told me thinks taphorn could end up being poor mans version of gordon hayward from Butler who is now on the Jazz. this summer will be the deciding factor on who ends up getting any or more high-major offers."
 
Gavin Sullivan's (AAU coach) Facebook does a great job keeping up with the interest and offers for Alec -
 
Peters has offers from:

Albany
S. Dakota State
Indiana Purdue-Fort Wayne (IPFW)
UIC
Illinois State
UW-Greenbay
IUPUI
Loyola-Chicago


Was told wichita state came away very impressed as well!
 
This kid is the real deal. I'd put him far above Taphorn at this point. If I'm him I'm holding out, that list of low-level mid-majors in the list above I'd bet will improve by the time he's finished. A legit 6' 7" with a nice jump shot, high revving motor, and the ability to put the ball on the floor and drive to the bucket. I wouldn't doubt at all if some higher profile D-1s come calling.
