Recruiting Report: Raiquan Gray (2017)

<h2>October 29, 2015</h2><p>A top-10 player in Florida’s 2017 class, <strong>Raiquan Gray</strong> had a big-time offseason with the Florida Vipers picking up six Division I offers.</p> <p>San Francisco, FIU, Binghamton, Vermont, Virginia Tech, and most recently UAB are the six standing offers, and the 6-foot-7 forward says there’s a bevy of schools showing interest in him right now.</p> <p>“Florida State, Florida, Louisiana Tech, FAU, and there’s a lot of other schools that are showing interest right now,” said the versatile junior.</p> <p>While running with Florida Vipers this spring and summer, Gray says ball-handling and shooting were areas of emphasis for him.</p> <p>“Where I improved is just becoming a more versatile player, my ball-handling and my shooting really improved. I feel like I can play the three or four now, it doesn’t matter,” said Gray, who characterized his style of play to PHF.</p> <p>“I like to bring the ball up the court and create mismatches. I can drive and kick, and I can knock-down open shots, and get my teammates open too.”</p> <p>“I would say I do need to be more consistent on the offensive end, and also I need to work on keeping a high-motor from start to finish.”</p> <p>As he gets set for his junior season at Dillard, Gray looks forward to moving into a more productive role.</p> <p>“Last year we had five senior starters and I was coming off the bench some of the season, and I started about 12 games,” said Gray. “I’ll have more of a leadership role this season, and I can play the two, three, or four, and just be versatile for us each night out.”</p>
