He could be a Bearcat, a Razorback or possibly even a
Tiger. But Chris Gradnigo wants to be a Cajun.
"Now I'm a Cajun, baby!" exclaimed the LaGrange High School
senior after signing his letter of intent to play basketball
at UL-Lafayette.
The 6'7 forward was a star player at St. Louis the last
three years, but transfered to LaGrange for his senior
season.
Gradnigo received offers from several schools including the
University of Cincinnatti and the University of Arkansas.
But he decided on UL-Lafayette, primarily because his
godfather is one of the assistant coaches.
For Gradnigo, the sweetest part of this signing day was the
realization that he would be continuing an important
tradition in his family of attending college. Chris played
for Houston Elite Reebok travel team when his recruiting
took off.
