Cameron Satterwhite has his sights set on joining a Division I basketball program for the 2016-17 season, despite the severe knee injury that will rob the Arizona standout of his senior high school season.
In the end, that dream didn’t mesh with the vision Satterwhite said he was given from the CU coaching staff.
A dynamic scorer who gave his verbal commitment to CU last winter, Satterwhite decided over the weekend to open his recruiting once again. According to Satterwhite, CU head coach Tad Boyle wanted him to spend a year at a prep school to fully recover from a torn ACL he suffered in July.
It was a request Satterwhite didn’t agree with.
“Coach really wanted me to rehab my knee and start a year later,” Satterwhite said. “If I was going to miss all of the 2016 season, I’d want to redshirt and be on a college campus to do that.”
Since he re-opened his recruiting, Satterwhite says he already has received offers from Cal Poly, UTEP, and the University of San Francisco. Satterwhite averaged 18.1 points while leading Gilbert Christian High School to the Arizona Division II state championship last season.
