Montaque Gill-Caeser Sweepstakes 2.0

Posted on by Hoops Hype Canada

Huntington Prep head coach Rob Fulford thinks that Vaughan Ontario native, Montaque Gill-Caeser is ready for college ,

“Teki can definitely make an impact [if he reclassifies to 2014] as a Freshman. The extent of it will be based on where he chooses to play, the fit and what role they need him in. He is a high level shooter and physical wing that can impose his will on other wings.” Texted Fulford to HHC counterparts.

With growing speculation that Montague reclassifies, it’s beggining to look more and more like a two way race.

Michigan State

Michigan State appears to be a frontrunner for “Teki” who is technically still a member of the 2015 class and it is widely believed that he’ll take the opportunity to reclassify to the 2014 class and enter college next fall.

Growing consensus is that he’ll pick MSU over Kentucky, Memphis, and the other suitors because of the golden opportunity of stepping in immediately for NBA-bound Gary Harris.

Kentucky

John Calipari is in hot pursuit & Gill-Caesar has also been rumored to be very high on Kentucky. Which would also include to reclassify for 2014.

Gill Caesar’s reclassifying time table will most likely depend on what happens with Kentucky’s current crop of freshman guards Andrew Harrison, Aaron Harrison and James Young. NBA executives are projecting perhaps both Harrison twins will remain behind after being so highly touted for the NBA lottery when the season started and now a days both are struggling to increase their stocks.

Coach Cal reportedly visited Huntington shows how serious UK is. Wildcats could put in a strong challenge for MSU.

We’ll probably know a lot more about the ‘Teki’ sweepstakes after the high school basketball season ends when it’s time for Gill-Caesar to decide on a spring visit schedule.

“Right now I got nothing new. Might visit MSU but not exactly sure when. I have no date on when or if im reclassifying either.” The top-20 recruit in USA Gill-Caeser wrote via email.

Current Form

Gill Caeser a junior small forward at Huntington Prep in VA and on duty at the LG Big House Shootout in Charleston, W. Va. collected 27 points, eight rebounds and seven assists for the Irish in a walloping (137-60) of Wesley Christian and had five points against Riverside Christian.

Followed that up with what may have been his last home game at Huntington, WV if indeed he does reclassify.

Gill-Caesar finished with 27 points and nine rebounds to lead HPREP in a 71-61 win over Legacy Charter (S.C.) on Senior Day at Huntington St. Joe this past weekend.

“I just wanted to leave everything on the court really because it is possible my last game in this gym and in Huntington,” Gill-Caesar said. “This place has become a second home to me, so playing in this game, you don’t want to take it for granted.”

Also In Mix

Gill Caeser for the Class of 2014 has offers from Alabama, Baylor, Kansas, Memphis, Missouri, Providence and West Virginia.

For the Class of 2015 MGC also has offers from Illinois and Ohio State too.

Montague Gill-Caeser Sweepstakes 1.0

Posted on by Hoops Hype Canada
Former OFSAA champion with Vaughan Secondary in Toronto, Montague Gil-Caeser is in high demand for his post secondary services.

Speaking at the 2014 Spalding Hoop Hall Classic this past weekend, the 6’6″ small forward for Huntington Prep discussed his recruiting.

Currently ranked as a top 25 player in the class of 2015, he played a very balanced and steady floor game according to Yahoo’s Recruit Scoop,

“He hit jumpers from mid-range out to the three-point line and hit a huge three late in the fourth quarter to help give Huntington some breathing room. Gill-Caesar also played good defense and was very active on the glass while scoring a team-high 13 points and corralling nine rebounds.”

After his stellar performance the student-athlete also known as ‘Teki’ summarized the schools that are showing him interest.

  • Michigan State
  • West Virginia
  • Kansas
  • Missouri
  • Florida State
  • Alabama
  • Memphis
  • Kentucky

2015 6’6″ Montague Gill-Caeser

He has been to West Virginia and Kentucky unofficially and Gill-Caeser still has to decide whether or not he would stay in the class of 2015 or make the move to 2014. A similar move his fellow AAU teammate at Montverde (FL) Chris Egi did recently as he committed to Harvard.

Michigan State and Memphis are also possible visit destinations Teki hinted at.

“It’s a possibility right now,” said Gill-Caesar when asked if he could make his class decision at the same time as he makes his college choice. “It’s just going to be a game-time decision right now, I don’t really know. I’m just not sure.”

 

POLE POSITION

Coach John Calapari and Kentucky in hot pursuit for MGC

Experts are convinced he is being encouraged by his high school coach at Huntington Prep Rob Fulford to make a move from Huntington to Kentucky. Coach is on record commenting that the Canadian is more then ready. That and a luxury to play alongside fellow 2014 Kentucky commits Canadian Trey Lyles and 7-foot Dominican Karl Towns puts John Calapari and his Wildcats in pole position.

As for many folks back home the consensus is why not return to America for another year and make a run at a McDonalds All-American selection, the prestigous accolade in American high school basketball.

One source also suggests a return back to Canada is also an option. With Athlete Institute now up and running in Orangeville, Ontario, known to be heavilly affiliated with his AAU program CIA Bounce and it’s commitment to play a tough North American schedule, Gill-Caeser could still play against high caliber competition and improve his stock as a focal point of Athlete Institute. Only time will tell as the Montague Gill-Caeser sweepstakes grows.

STATUS: As we first reported news of Kentucky interest in August the consensus over here is that Montague Gill-Caeser is Kentucky’s to lose. One thing for sure, he will be very physically mature for a frosh and could possibly compete for playing time the moment he steps foot on campus.
