Two Big East Schools Make Short List for Gill-Caesar

Hoops Hype CA tweeted out earlier this afternoon that Class of 2015 wing Montaque "Teki" Gill-Caesar has a short list of Florida State, Providence, Missouri, Marquette, Indiana and Michigan State. The native of Ontario plays at prep powerhouse Huntington Prep in West Virginia.

Marquette received some more good news earlier today when Class of 2015 shooting guard Levan Alston kept them in his final six. They have two open scholarships for the Class of 2015 and adding a combo guard in Alston and a wing forward in Gill-Caesar would be nice but I would think most Marquette fans feel a big man, namely Top 10 forward Henry Ellenson, needs to fill at least one of their open scholarships.

Providence making the short list is good news for Ed Cooley. Providence has some wing talent on the roster like Gill-Caesar's former Huntington Prep teammate Jalen Lindsey but for a program that has a lot of open scholarships for the class of 2015 (4 currently), stockpiling talented players with guard skills would be just fine.

Missouri is seen by many as the favorite because in late June Missouri head coach Kim Anderson hired Rob Fulford, formerly the head coach at Huntington Prep, to be an assistant coach for the Tigers.
