HOUSTON, TEXAS -- The Orlando Magic got their man but where will that leave the Florida Gators? They could be out one All-American from Bellaire High School.
Cardinals point guard Jai Lucas committed to the Gators earlier this month but with Donovan's exit after accepting a new five year, $27 million contract from the Magic, Lucas can now opt out and ask for his release.
"We just found out the news this afternoon and were shocked," Lucas' father John told Local 2 Sports this afternoon. "We got word during our regular daily workout and now are looking at our options.”
One of those options will be Kentucky which was the runner up in the Lucas sweepstakes.
