One of England’s most coveted recruits, Ethan Price, wasn’t interested in the glitz and glamour of high-major college basketball.
Southern California and Georgia Tech were among the schools pursuing the 6-foot-10 Price, whose versatility was on full display with Great Britain’s U-18 national team at FIBA tournaments.
He could have enjoyed college life on the beach, too, at Florida Gulf Coast University.
But Price, a two-time league MVP who averaged 23.5 points, 12.4 rebounds, 2.7 blocked shots and was also a threat from 3-point range for his club team, was more interested in the rapport he developed with Eastern Washington University.
