Gabe Murphy gaining interest

Jerina: "4.1 GPA Modesto Christian 2018 6'8 Gabe Murphy recruitment rising- Fresno Pacific, Boise St., NAU, UCSB & more"

From the 2016 Nor Cal Spring Showcase: "Big bodied post player who has really good hands, below the rim athlete who runs the floor well, can catch and finish on the break, rebounds well in his box, 10’-12’ range, plays hard with contact."

From December 2015: "Midgley has high hopes for Murphy, a 6-7 center who has shed 35 pounds since the summer. Murphy’s maturation has been stark. He was a bench player for the Crusaders’ junior varsity team as a freshman.

Today, he’s commanding minutes at the varsity level against some of the state’s top competition. Murphy is Midgley’s first option when Idehen is in foul trouble.

“He’s the future. He’s going to be a big part of everything next year,” Midgley said. “He’s working to make himself a big part of things this year. He had a goal of making varsity, and his commitment then to now, with our workouts and his own, I’ve been impressed with him. I’m proud of the work he’s done...”

“...I don’t want to say Gabe has been a surprise, but he’s worked his butt off to get in shape,” Midgley said. “He was a bench player for the junior varsity a year ago, and now he’s in the rotation for varsity as a sophomore. He’s put himself in that position, and he warrants more minutes by the way he’s worked and the way he’s playing.”
