Grey is a power forward whose career has been well traveled. An EXTREMELY exciting athlete, Grey originally took his 4.43 40 time and committed to play FOOTBALL for Florida State, but then later committed to play basketball at South Carolina. He has asked for a release from that commitment and sources have told me that he will be visiting UK next week and could commit within the week. Apparently the high school he went to, Florida Prep, was one of the high schools investigated by the NCAA for being "illegitimate." Because of that, South Carolina has declined to admit him into the university.
