"I like schools in big cities," says La Jolla forward Charlie Gal, anticipating his senior year and reporting on visiting several college campuses in the East and participating in basketball camps on other campuses.
Camps included the Ivy League schools of Penn, Cornell, Dartmouth, and Columbia, while Brown and Harvard consisted of visits and talks with each school's basketball coach.
As Gal, a burly 6'6", carries a 4.5 grade-point average, he will have opportunities that some other athletes may not as far as his college future.
"I liked New York (City) a lot," he said, prior to his high school team's game in the Montgomery High summer league July 5. He also reported meeting with the coach at Johns Hopkins University, and a visit to MIT.
As far as his recent two-handed dunk from a standing position under the basket, he said, "I couldn't do it last year. I've done it in showcases."
His father Steve had told him not to dunk as an injury preventative. "He was mad at me," the younger Gal said with a sly grin.
Other schools that Gal graced on recent visits include Tufts, Emerson, and Boston College.
