Five-star guard/wing Scottie Lewis committed to the Florida Gators last night over the Kentucky Wildcats.
Kentucky was thought to have gained the edge over Florida after an official visit to Lexington, but Florida has been pursuing Lewis for several years and one of his best friends just committed to the Gators. All of that together to lead Lewis to choose the Gators.
It’s a blow to Kentucky, for sure. Lewis is a great all-around player who prides himself on playing defense and is perfectly fine not being the bonafide star on a team. Kentucky really liked him and made him a priority, but alas, Kentucky will see him on the opposite bench next season.
