Orangeville Prep basketball coach Nate Johnson described his starting shooting guard Keshaun Saunders as a home-run hitter.
For the University of Toledo men’s basketball team, Saunders’ recent verbal commitment to the Rockets might be considered a home run on the recruiting trail.
“Keshaun is a very gifted slasher and an excellent shooter,” Johnson said. “The thing he does really well is he’s a home-run hitter. He’s someone who is never afraid to take those big shots and he kind of relishes those opportunities and really being in the big moments as well.”
Coming from a prep program in Brampton, Ontario, which has produced NBA players like Jamal Murray and Thon Maker, Saunders was recruited by a mix of mid-major and high-major programs including Temple, Boise State, Tulane, and Iona before settling on Toledo.
