Devin Vassell was only a three-star recruit when he entered Florida State University. Two years later, he’s leaving the Seminoles as a widely considered lottery pick in this year’s NBA Draft.
FSU coach Leonard Hamilton wasn’t surprised at all. To him, it was a validation of what they saw in Vassell when they recruited him out of a nondescript high school in Atlanta.
“This is the reason why we’re consistent. We do a great job evaluating. We identified him as a guy with good potential and we are pleased that he has really panned out just like we thought he would,” Hamilton told Empire Sports Media.
