It appears UIC’s pipeline to Canada has been further strengthened with a prospect north of the border pledging to the Flames this evening.
Brandon John, a class of 2018 big man from Canada, verbally committed to UIC this evening on his twitter page. John, listed as a 6-foot-9 big from The RISE Centre (TRC) in Brantford, played for the CIA Bounce this past summer in the Nike EYBL. He averaged 2.6 points per game and 3.0 rebounds off the bench for a team that included five-star big man Simi Shittu (Vanderbilt) and five-star combo forward Ignas Brazdeikis (Michigan).
According to Verbal Commits, John had offers from several mid-major programs including Binghamton, Cal State Fullerton, Central Michigan, Denver, Niagara and Southern Utah.
With John now in UIC’s 2018 class, he joins junior college big man Isaac Bassey. UIC has one scholarship remaining in the class, potentially two if redshirt sophomore Dikembe Dixson decides to leave as he tweeted this past Friday.
Other targets with scholarship offers in the 2018 class for UIC include Chase Adams, Tyler Cheese, Tyreek Scott-Grayson, David Wingett and Daishaun Woods. UIC was recently at a game of Wingett’s last week according to his high school coach Darryl Harris. Wingett appears to be a prime wing target, especially with Dixson likely leaving after this season.
