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.
