Hey guys, I just spoke with 2017 4-star power forward Ira Lee, who now has Cal in his Top 5. I will thread some of the key quotes he said and save the rest for the article.
Ira Lee on Cal: "I mean, Cal has always been a top school of mine since they offered me. I have a genuine relationship with Cuonzo Martin. I got two close teammates who play there. Cal has always been atop of my list."
Ira Lee on Texas: “Shaka Smart is one of the top coaches in the country. He was straight with me and told me he wants me to come in an be an all-around forward.”
Ira Lee on Oregon: “Oregon, Dillon Brooks is leaving. He’s likely leaving. They’re in need of a guy who can do what Dillon Brooks does.”
Ira Lee on Arizona: “Arizona is a guard-heavy school. They’re in need of more forwards.”
Ira Lee on Maryland: “I’ve had a relationship with assistant coach Nima since I was in 7th and 8th grade.”
