Grant Fiorentinos Commits to Tulane
England U18 Grant Fiorentinos has signed to NCAA Division 1 school Tulane University, to join them from the 2011/2012 season.
Fiorentinos, a 6’10”, 225lb power forward, is currently playing at The Hun School of Princeton, where he averaged 8 points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks per game last season.
Speaking exclusively to Hoopsfix of why he chose Tulane, he said;
“Tulane was the best option for me academically, and I feel me and the coaches see eye to eye. I consider myself a hardworker, team player and leader on the court and think I will fit in well as part of the Green Wave.”
Fiorentinos led the England U18 team in rebounding at 6.5 per game at the Division B European Championships this summer, whilst adding 6.4 points per outing and 1 assist per game in just 17.4 minutes per game.
He also had interest from Robert Morris, Southern Illinois, Rider, Denver, San Francisco and Florida Atlantic University. Tulane competes in Conference USA.
Do you like our work?
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
