"[Joe Dooley] liked that I could play many positions since I'm 6'8" and can handle, dribble, and pass the ball well," Stone told the Eagles Nest in an interview last week. The Eagles' ability to produce post season success interested the rising 2015 forward.
"They've got a great history there since they reached the Sweet Sixteen," Stone said.
Stone led a Zion Lutheran team, coached by John Guion, to a 21-7 record in the 2013-14 season. The combo forward reached the 30 point mark multiple times, including 36 points in a win against Lake Worth Christian and fellow FGCU target Jeantal Cylla, who dropped 32 points.
Now on the AAU circuit, Stone plays with the Florida Vipers. This weekend they took home the 17U title at the Gulf Coast Hoop Fest in Biloxi, Miss.
"It's been great. I've got a great point guard in Jose Morales and a good big man in Antonio Vrankovic," Stone said. "That's really all I need to work with."
Stone's phenomenal play hasn't just garnered interest from FGCU however; South Carolina, Florida State, and Wyoming, among others, have been keeping on eye on Stone. At the moment, he has a Wyoming visit planned for August.
