Aras To Be An Eli Bulldog?--(Sept. 22, 1998)

Aras Baskauskas (6'-3 Sr. SG/PG) from Santa Monica High has gotten home visits from Gonzaga, UC Riverside and Yale, and we're really pretty amazed that he isn't getting more attention from more high and mid D-I majors. While UCR is going D-1 this season, which would mean that under the three year probationary period, they would be eligible for post season play when Aras is a sophomore, and Gonzaga is already an established program, Aras is certainly a talent worth looking at, and if you're a coach from some Pac-10, WCC, or WAC, you're really missing the boat by not looking at him. Aras is a quick, strong combo guard, who can put up three's all day, drives and dishes, and plays defense very well. This weekend he played for several teams, including the SoCal Heat, and we got to see him as Aras matched up and out played most of the competition.
