As Vega mentioned, Fitzpatrick fell in Heath's lap. He was allowed out of his LOI with Georgia State, DoJo was dating Toralyn's sister at the time, and it was DoJo who let Heath know Fitzy was available. I think Ox Gardner wound up committing to Marquette, which left the spot open for Heath to take a shot at the local King product, whom he never initially recruited. I love Fitzy's aggressiveness around the bucket, and he's got a sweet outside shot for a big man. I wish you could transplant his physical inside play into both Gilchrist and Famous's bodies. I swear, Famous has got to hold the record for most dunks blocked by the rim of any player in USF history. If Fitzy can cut down on his turnovers, I think he should be a starter.

That's the funny thing about the EARLY signing period.  You get signed based on your Junior year, not what you have done during you Senior year.  Fitz was not highly recruited.  He is developing nicely.
