2012 point guard Tyree Gaiter of Cleveland Heights is a ball of excitement on the court.

Lewis already holds offers from Cleveland State, Akron, Kent State, Miami (OH), Wisconsin, and St. Joseph’s.
“Indiana, Xavier, and Penn State want us to schedule a visit to discuss offers,” Lewis’ father noted.
