Francis, Keith key Florida Elite
Clearly, Florida Elite was ready to play on Friday night. The crew from the Sunshine State came out and blitzed Dream Vision early before holding on late for a win. Much of its success had to do with the play of junior guards Brandon Francis and Eddie Keith.
They are both physical players. Francis is a 6-foot-5 shooting guard from the Dominican Republic who plays at Jacksonville (Fla.) Arlington Country Day. He's a strong kid who has a good-looking stroke and a high level of skill to go with his strength and willingness to play with physicality. Rated as a three-star prospect, Francis will be in contention for the 2014 Rivals150. He has a wide array of interest and offers coming from Illinois, Minnesota, SMU (head coach Larry Brown watched), Kansas State, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Cincinnati, Indiana, Florida, Rutgers, West Virginia, Washington and others.
While Francis is pretty well known, Keith was a pleasant surprise. A product of Orlando (Fla.) Edgewater, he is a powerful two guard with a nice 6-foot-4 frame and a versatile offensive game. He will score off the drive and from midrange, and you have to respect his deep jumper. The three-star prospect mentioned offers from Jacksonville, Florida Gulf Coast (old staff), UCF and Florida International (previous staff) to go with interest from Miami, USF, Georgia, George Mason, Kansas State, St. John's and Alabama.

Dave Telep Adidas weekend recap.
Discusses Francis at 0:55. Calls him a breakout performer. Describes him as a combo guard suggesting he's a big PG.

Is he from http://www.dominica.dm/ or http://dominicanrepublic-guide.info/ ? Two different places.
He reminds be a little bit of that pg that played for Illinois a few years back. Cant think of his name.
For sure. You have to think they know each other or at the very least ties to the same people.
Looks like his recruitment is blowing up.
I don't know who the staff's priorities are but it looks like we have some nice options at SG for '14. We should end up with a good one.
Many of us were in agreement that the 2014 class is where this staff would really leave a recruiting mark. The scholarships are now staggered a bit, so the staff no longer needs to gamble on a kid. They can target kids they know are high level and without any eligibility concerns.
Class of 72

That would exclude almost every D1 prospect in the PSAL. We are nonetheless pursuing IW hard but Francis may be the better option down the road.
You need a porter with all the baggage with kids in the PSAL.
Most PSAL kids prep to get thier grades in order and to improve their game and get an offer from a higher level program.. I don't know about Wainright's grades, but as far as talent goes, he is one of the handful of PSAL kids that can go directly from HS to major program without having to prep first.
Look out college basketball world..Lavin has scholarships to give.
