ShareFranz Beard’s Basketball Confidential
It’s not a secret that Florida’s top target for 2010 is Brandon Knight (6-3, 180, Fort Lauderdale, FL Pine Crest), who has been considered the best player in his age group since he was 13. Knight might end all the speculation about where he’s going to go to college in November, right after the early signing period. Based on the information that’s available now, it would seem that this will be a two-team race: Florida and UConn.
In Florida’s favor is that Knight has a great relationship with Billy Donovan and a friendship with Taurean Green, the point guard on Florida’s back-to-back NCAA championship teams. Green played his senior year in high school at Cardinal Gibbons in Fort Lauderdale.
It could also work in Florida’s favor if 2009’s best guard Kenny Boynton (6-2, 180, Plantation, FL American Heritage, #3 ESPN Top 100) commits to the Gators. Boynton and Knight are a dynamic duo for Fort Lauderdale-based Team Breakdown, the defending AAU national champions.
