Dominique Ferguson, a 6-8 forward ranked among the top 20 recruits for the class of 2010, announced that he will attend Florida International, according to FOX Sports.com’s Jeff Goodman. New coach Isiah Thomas pulled off a major recruiting coup, beating Indiana, Kentucky and Arizona, among others, in Ferguson’s recruitment. He managed to convince Ferguson to forgo a major conference team to play for a Sun Belt Conference squad.
“This is a huge get for FIU. It’s pretty unheard of for a mid-level program to go in and get a guy that’s currently ranked in the top 20 to 25. Huge get and another addition to an already strong class,” said Evan Daniels, Scout.com’s national recruiting analyst.
“I think the biggest thing that stands out is his versatility and the things he can do not only in the post, but also off the dribble.”
