Trey Patterson, the 6-foot-7 small forward from Rutgers Preparatory School (NJ), trips to Florida this weekend (Nov. 8-10) for his second official visit.
“I know that the Gators have won two national championships and been to five Final Fours,” Patterson told ZAGSBLOG Tuesday via text. “They should have a very successful year with all of the young, talented freshman they have, combined with some older pieces that have been in the program for a few years now.”
Patterson took his first official visit to Indiana last month (Oct. 11-13).
““I enjoyed that I was able to experience what a college atmosphere is like,” Patterson said last month. “I met the coaches and players. They want me to be a versatile wing that can do everything: guard multiple positions, handle the ball, etc.”
Patterson is also being recruited by Villanova, Auburn, Xavier, Tennessee, UConn, NC State, Maryland, Georgia, Seton Hall and Rutgers, among others.
According to 247Sports, Patterson is ranked as the No. 34 overall player in the Class of 2021 and the No. 2 player from the state of New Jersey.
