FGCU Target To Make Decision Tuesday

With one scholarship to fill and a thin front court, FGCU is trying to sign one more forward in the class of 2014. That signing could come on Tuesday.

Former Southern Miss signee Willie Carmichael shared, on his Twitter account, that he will announce his new college decision tomorrow at his high school basketball banquet. And according to Ben Frederickson of GoVolsExtra, Carmichael will be deciding between Tennessee, Florida Atlantic, Alabama, and Florida Gulf Coast.

The 6-foot-7 power forward from Wekiva High School (Apopka, Fla.) received his official release from Southern Miss on May 5, and will quickly make another choice.

The obvious one seems to be Tennessee. Carmichael could follow Southern Miss coach Donnie Tyndall to Knoxville, and play under the man he originally committed to. Apparently he is "very high on the Vols." Furthermore, current 247Sports Crystal Ball Predictions are 100 percent Tennessee.

The consensus three star's decision comes during a busy week for FGCU hoops. Former Eagle Eric McKnight announced he will transfer to Tennessee while ex-FGCU guard Christophe Varidel will be headed to Alabama. Now in the pro ranks, 2013 Atlantic Sun Player of the Year Sherwood Brown will spend his spring with Fuerza Guinda de Nogales in Mexico. In his debut, Brown recorded 12 points and 2 rebounds.

As reported by the news-press, Butler transfer Nolan Berry will be on campus Tuesday through Thursday for a visit. The former teammate of Florida Gulf Coast signee Eric Moeller is just one of many big men FGCU is trying to entice into committing to Dunk City. The same report noted that three to four bigs have scheduled tentative visits with the Eagles this month.
