The big man averaged 9.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game this past season, all while shooting a staggering 70.3% from the field. Gainey is also a two-time Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year and recorded 124 career blocks in only 65 games at Brown.
Over the weekend, Gainey made the trip to Tallahassee to see the Seminoles.
After the visit, On3’s Jamie Shaw caught up with Gainey to get his thoughts on the visit.
“My visit was great. They really treated me like family,” Gainey said. “They showed me I could be a big part of their offense and defense because my playstyle fits and translates to their entire system.”
