La Bomba Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Like every other college basketball player with a lick of talent, Dominique Ferguson has one goal: to play in the NBA. So when it came to picking his college, Ferguson decided to go with a coach who played, coached and evaluated talent in the NBA. In a decision sure to stun many in the basketball community, Ferguson, rated the No. 8 rising senior in the ESPN 100, gave a verbal commitment to Florida International on Friday. "It's just about the tremendous respect I have for Coach [isiah] Thomas," Ferguson said. "Everybody wants to get to the next level and when you make a commitment it's about who you think can get you there. A lot of coaches can and do, but he's been there." Adding Ferguson to the FIU roster next year counts as a huge get for Thomas, about to embark on his rookie season at the collegiate level. Ferguson, who will attend Hargrave Military Academy this year, is a 6-foot-8 power forward who is equally comfortable on the arc as at the rim. The Indianapolis native was considering Duke, Florida, Kentucky, Indiana and UCLA. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=4383839 LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
