Rivals150 forward eyeing a handful
The No. 127 player in the class of 2015, Florida forward Keith Stone has shown in recent workouts that he is capable of playing stretches on the wing. He remains open in his recruitment, but that doesn't mean there isn't one school in particular that has his eye.

At 6-foot-7 and 215 or so pounds, Stone initially drew high major attention over the summer when he looked like a mobile, pick and pop four man. However, the Deerfield Beach (Fla.) Zion Lutheran is showing even more versatility now and still has plenty of high major attention.
"Billy Donovan has been pushing me the hardest to get me on an unofficial and see the campus early.
South Carolina has been in the mix, Alabama has too and
West Virginia is jumping into the mix now."
For a while, consensus has been that Florida leads and Stone didn't deny that. But, as of now the Gators don't have a scholarship. Stone says that he will likely wait until the spring and that he will continue to investigate the other programs recruiting him.
If he does stay open until the spring, Stone will likely experience another rush of high major attention. Especially if he keeps doing what coaches have already told him they like.
"I run the floor hard," said Stone. "I like to dunk, I like to shoot and I can handle for my size. I like to face up."
When it does come time to make a decision, Stone will heavily factor playing time and player development.
"I want to go where I can play right away and get developed into a good player."
