(Gainesville SUN)
Florida has had success recruiting the Northeast during the Billy
Donovan era.
But the Gators may wind up extending its reach even further north
for its next commitment.
According to a source, Canadian big-man Chris Egi has received a
scholarship offer to Florida after a strong showing in front of
UF coaches at the Summer Showcase in Orlando. Egi is listed at
6-foot-8 in some recruiting websites, 6-9 in others. At 205
pounds, Egi is rangy and athletic and would fit nicely in front
of UF’s press.
Another plus – Egi is an exceptional student, with a 95 percent
grade average in his native Markham, Ontario. As a result, Egi is
mulling offers from a number of Ivy League Schools and public
ivys, including Columbia, Harvard, Stanford and California. If
Egi winds up at UF, he could follow in a line of other
expectational UF basketball scholar athletes, a list that
includes former (and current) SEC scholar athletes of the year
Lee Humphrey, Ray Shipman and Patric Young.
Born in September of 1996, Egi is listed in the class of 2015,
but could reclassify to 2014. He’s enrolled this fall at
Montverde Academy outside Orlando, which should provide ample
opportunities to visit the UF campus. And Montverde coach Kevin
Boyle has a strong relationship with Donovan, having passed along
sophomore guard Michael Frazier II and incoming freshman point
guard Kasey Hill to the Gators.
Canada has become a recent hotbed for amateur basketball talent.
Brampton, Ontario native Anthony Bennett, who strongly considered
UF before ending up at UNLV, had a breakout freshman season and
wound up as the No. 1 overall pick by the Cleveland Cavaliers in
the 2013 NBA draft. And incoming freshman Andrew Wiggins (Kansas)
could follow Bennett as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NBA
draft. Wiggins will visit the O’Connell Center on Dec. 10 when
Florida hosts Kansas in the SEC-Big 12 Challenge.
– It didn’t surprise me that former Gator point guard Nick
Calathes had his draft rights traded to the Memphis Grizzlies on
Monday
<http://www.gatorsports.com/article/20130722/ARTICLES/130729936?tc=cr>.
Grizzlies CEO Jason Levien has been a fan of Calathes since he
set back-to-back records for assists in a season in his two
seasons at UF (2008, 2009). Calathes never quite lived up to
expectations in Gainesville, but had little talent around him on
rebuilding teams and ended his two-year career with a fractured
relationship with Donovan. He still will have a challenge making
the Grizzlies’ roster, but could find a spot if he beats out Tony
Wroten and veteran Keyon Dooling in preseason camp. The fact that
Calathes is 6-foot-6 and is versatile enough to play multiple
positions could help his chances.
