BALTIMORE, Maryland -- Chase Cormier graduated last spring from Milford
Mill with a legacy of championships and individual honors, but not a single
Division I scholarship. But despite his surprising lack of college of options,
the 6-foot, 170-pound point guard said he never worried about eventually landing
an offer.
“I knew it was a matter of time,” Cormier
said. “As soon as I made my announcement to go to prep school, I started getting
phone calls from coaches.”
Cormier’s thoughts about recruiting were
proven correct earlier this month when the Grambling State coaches scouted him
at his Fishburne (Va.) Military Academy practice and offered him a scholarship.
The former Millers star signed his letter of intent to play for the Tigers this
week.
“It feels like a relief,” said Cormier,
who was also recruited by Rider. “Division I, that’s always been my dream since
the ninth grade. It’s an accomplishment.”
Former Millers coach Al Holley – now in his first year as Friends’ boys basketball
coach –
always thought Cormier was a DI talent. But it was just a matter of finding the
right fit.
