Late Tuesday evening five-star guard Scottie Lewis ended his recruitment by picking Florida over Kentucky. After the Cats had some brief (and expected) momentum after Lewis officially visited UK in September, Florida visited Lewis and the reason why Florida was the leader for months eventually won out in Lewis’ recruitment.
Why Florida:
Lewis always thought highly of Gainesville, Mike White recruited him as long as anyone, his AAU coach (Brian Klatsky) is a Florida fan and Klatsky’s son (Lewis’ AAU and high school teammate) is committed to the Gators. The signs for months seemed to indicate Lewis would end up at Florida.
