Greg Louis ranked top Florida player

For those bummed about Penn men's basketball losing recruit Will Davis, who decommitted nearly three weeks ago, some positive news is coming out of Florida for Penn's sole commit for next year, Greg Louis.

The six-foot-seven forward out of Dwyer high school was picked as the mid-season player of the year for all large schools in the area by the Palm Beach Post last week. Based on his performance through Jan. 17th, here's what Jeff Greer of the Post had to say:

Greg Louis (Dwyer): 13.1 ppg. Right now, Louis is my frontrunner. I’ve seen him play three times, and each game he was the best player on the floor. The 6-foot-7 forward operates everywhere. He can hit the 3, nail an elbow jumper in the middle of a zone defense or he can crash the glass and scrounge for garbage points. He does it all.

Before his game tonight, Louis was also averaging half a block and 5.5 rebounds per game. In his last two games, he's scored 28 and 20 points, shooting 13-for-33 (39.4 percent) from the floor, according to his maxpreps profile. On the season he's shooting 54.5 percent.
