Malik Fitts commits to South Florida

[Gundo]

Malik Fitts who plays second fiddle to Jeremy Hemseley at Damien HS has played well in Holiday Tourney's, even out scoring him a number of times!  At 6'5 190 he is a quick wing player that has local interest with MWC, WCC, MVC and Big Lots schools.  He can shoot from the outside as well as play in transition. 

I know that we have little interest in a 6'5 wing player, but this is a developing story and one to watch as conference play starts. It looks like his stock is rising, a 2 star player now, will be 3-star as he gets ranked by the various services. 


From Scout: Malik Fitts, SF, Damien – There aren’t too many wings still available that can shoot the ball like Fitts can. Standing 6-foot-6, Fitts has good size for the wing and didn’t have any issue getting his shot off against a scrappy Pebblebrook bunch. Fitts hit a half dozen three-pointers and scored a couple baskets in transition. He’s an intriguing prospect because of his size and ability to rip the nets from deep.

He's going to be a good big west shooter, definitely not at SDSU's level.

Prepping at Brewster Academy in NH. Has interest from Nebraska, US and other schools before the season starts.
