If Bracey was the other recruit I heard he was not as impressive as Porter was. I know there were two recruits in town, I was not sure of who the second one was.

You always wonder how those workouts pan out, and what they mean from an offer standpoint. My prior concern was of his height in the A-10 as a PF, but he is supposedly really built (and looks like it from his team picture, very broad). Makes you wonder how he managed against Cook and Simmons, two guys that have a big height advantage.

For what it is worth, my friend who coaches high school ball in Cincinnati said he has seen Porter play. He said that Porter is a great athlete and would be a very good signing for the Bonnies.

Saw Porter on campus this weekend, and for anyone one that cares, I would say he's actually about 6'2"

Don't shoot the messenger, but Porter visited Augusta St.(D2) and was not offered. Their coach, Dip Metress, is brother to Brian, class of '84 and a fellow No. VA coach. Just sayin'

The other recruit on campus this weekend was Chris Johnson. Formerly of Nova Scotia but re located to Toronto. Couldn't find any information online about him but I saw him this weekend and he looks a legit 6'6 with a solid body.

Welcome to the board robfalbonnies. Thanks for confirming that it was Johnson & not Bracey on campus. Johnson, 6'5" played JUCO 2 years at Kilgore in Texas & was planning to go to Liberty. Only played 11 games (19ppg) last year due breaking his foot in December 2010. Played for the Canada Jr Team in 2007.

I can also confirm the other recruit on campus was not Bracey, it was Chris Johnson. From what I hear the players were not as impressed with Johnson. I also heard that Porter is not really 6'4". In fact, my friends at Bonas described him as "small." I heard he was very impressive though.
I really would like to see us pick up one more big. If Schmidt could do that this would be the most impressive recruiting class in years.

See I heard the exact oposite bonniesareback, I was told that Porter was not very good at all during the open gym run on friday afternoon. I saw him at the Spring Weekend festivities on Saturday afternoon and can confirm he is a legit 6'2 nothing more nothing less. He was a nice kid when I met him and seemed excited to be on campus and told me he was for sure coming in the fall. I also met Johnson but didn't hear anything about how his open gym run went, if I hear anything I'll be sure to let you all know. Go Bonnies!

According to JP tweet, Johnson has verballed (last night) and is expected to sign within the next couple of days. Still working on paperwork for Porter as well.
Not sure where this leaves the Dutch players....

Along with being told that Kloof would not qualify, I was also told that the Dutch players are a back-up plan to some other Bonnie targets.
It would seem the class is filling up, so they may not be needed. I guess it depends on who stays and who splits.

What's the Deal with this Johnson that is going to sign? Oh, and he's going to get his paperwork before White?
What's going on?
