Majors Pick Up Interest In Big Center

Aaron Gray, a talented and hard-working 6-11, 280 pound center from Emmaus H.S. in Emmaus, Penn., told us he has seen his level of interest pick up recently. It was only earlier this month that Gray praised his unofficial visit to Temple. He also has high regard for the Rutgers and Providence programs.

But North Carolina has been expressing more interest in Gray and Aaron is interested.

Gray already has offers from Temple, Florida State, St. Joe's, Penn State, and Providence.

Gray has good hands and foot work, meaning that the potential is there for him to become a potent offensive force down the road. Gray is also considering LaSalle, Maryland, Villanova, Virginia Tech, Kentucky and Drexel.

Gray averaged 16 points, 12 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 4.5 blocks per game for Emmaus this past winter. He first came to the attention of the Insiders Report last summer at the Sonny Hill Future Stars Tournament, where he played with the Keystone Blazers, and again at the Charlie Weber Tournament in September [with the Jersey Shore Warriors].

In addition to playing with 3-on-3, Gray said he will also play with the Blazers in some upcoming events, and has committed to play with Rick Barrett's Gym Rats program at the adidas Big Time Tournament in Las Vegas.

Gray said he will attend the adidas ABCD Camp in New Jersey come July, and also hopes to attend a session of the Eastern Invitational Basketball Clinic.
