Graham, the class of 2014's best available point guard, hadn't been able to speak to coaches for months b/c App State hadn't released him.
 

Schools in need of a point guard just got a big boost.

Appalachian State has released 2014 recruit Devonte Graham from his letter-of-intent, meaning the point guard is free to go anywhere in the fall.

 

The family doesn't have an official release just yet, so it might be a day or two before Graham can speak to college coaches.

 

Previously, Graham has consistently had his release requests denied, and he was willing to sit out next season in order to go elsewhere.

 

The 6-foot-1 point guard immediately becomes the most sought-after guard on the market, as he proved throughout this season at Brewster Academy (N.H.) that he can play with the best of the best.

Creighton head coach Greg McDermott checked Graham out recently, as did assistants from Kansas, Providence and Pittsburgh. Virginia's Tony Bennett, Nebraska's Tim Miles and Providence's Ed Cooley were already scheduled to watch him this week, and Kansas' Bill Self is expected to check him out on Friday.

 

Graham is absolutely a high-major talent. He is a good athlete with quickness, and he makes plays at both ends of the floor, getting to the rim, running the break, finding teammates. Graham can run the pick-and-roll effectively, and has shown great vision and hands. He also can keep defenses honest with his perimeter jumper. Defensively, he plays passing lanes and forced steals.

If USF can get into his final choices, this may be where having a top 10 all time NBA assist leader on your coaching staff will come into play. WE DESPERATELY need a PG, especially one that has potential to score and defend, and clearly Coach O thinks so to.

So that still leaves a lot of top-flight competition...

Kansas, Cincinnati, Florida, Virginia Tech are visiting him today. The kid's has an impressive list of schools and coaches after him. My thing is I hope that Coach O and USF gets an opportunity just like these other schools to give our pitch.
