Lorenzo Cason, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound point guard from Victory Christian Academy (FL), has committed to Florida Atlantic.
The Lakeland, Fla. native also considered Murray State and Seton Hall, but never visited the Big East school. He visited FAU July 31-Aug. 2.
“I will be taking my talents to FAU because I feel like the opportunity that the school has for me [is great] as well as the coaching staff and a great environment,” he said.
“They say they think I’m ready to step on the court right now and play high-quality minutes as a freshman,” he said of FAU, which reached the Final Four last season under coach Dusty May.
“And I will get to the rim, create for others, score at will.”
What is FAU getting in Cason? “Lorenzo Cason is dynamic with the ball in his hands both scoring and play making, constantly putting pressure on the defense,” his coach Darryl Hardin said. “He is a very strong defender who makes it hard on the ball and off. He will slide over and take charges, always where he needs to be in the rotation. His IQ on defense allows him to excel when it comes to stealing the ball. We’re excited to see him at the next level no matter which school he decides because he will be a big time college player that shocks a lot of people.” Follow Adam Zagoria on Twitter Follow ZAGSBLOGHoops on Instagram And Like ZAGS on Facebook1000% committed@CoachDHardin @CoachLeeLoper @CoachReeseD @crusaderball23 @1FamilyHoops @ShakeNBake_Nate @RussHoops @polk_way @1FamilyHoops @PRO16League pic.twitter.com/aHconWAgzk
