Two of the Gators’ major targets happen to play for the same grassroots basketball program which made it easy to get a look at them as they performed at Nike’s Peach Jam, one of the premier recruiting events of the summer. I’m speaking of point guard Tre Mann and forward CJ Walker, both Florida products playing for Each 1 Teach 1. Though E1T1 struggled, Mann and Walker were some of the biggest names to come out of the tournament and it has their respective recruitments as hot as ever.
CJ Walker, whose tournament was highlighted by a monstrous dunk all over power forward Vernon Carey (the number two player in the 2019 class) was probably the biggest riser when all was said and done having people like CBS Sports’ Gary Parrish and 247 Sports’ Jerry Meyer declaring him as a top-10 talent in their minds.
