Lewis puts an end to recruitment
After taking official visits to Southern California and Miami-FL, Dwight Lewis, the 6-foot-5, 190-pound shooting guard/small forward from James Taylor High School in Katy, Texas, has made a decision about his future. Lewis talked with his family and high school coach and made his final decision just two days ago.
"I talked to Dwight and he has given a commitment to USC," said James Taylor head coach Jonathan Hopkins. "He actually just made the decision to attend Southern California two days ago. He picked USC over Miami-FL and Baylor."

According to Hopkins, Lewis, the No. 132 ranked player in the class of 2006, decided to attend Southern California for a variety of reasons. However, his relationship with Tim Floyd and his connections to the NBA appear to be the difference maker.
"I really believe that Tim Floyd was a big reason that Dwight has decided to commit to USC," said Hopkins. "He has coached in the NBA and I think that played a role in Dwight's decision. He and his father also like the idea of playing in the Pac-10.
"Dwight had some real interest in Miami-FL and Baylor, but he just felt that USC was the best fit," he added. "After talking to Dwight, I can tell you that he is excited about his decision and is looking forward to playing at Southern California."
