Rolling Meadows High standout Cameron Chrstie commits to Minnesota

Rolling Meadows' Cameron Christie is going from a Mustang to Golden Gopher.

Christie is a senior and a four-star rated recruit and ranked among the top 2023 recruits in Illinois. He is a 6-foot-5 wing and is a two-time Daily Herald Cook County all area team member.

Christie selected Minnesota over 14 other suitors. Christie made the announcement on his Twitter page Friday afternoon.

“Paving my own path,” said Christie, who appeared on Twitter in a University of Minnesota basketball uniform.

Christie also had offers from Illinois, Northwestern, DePaul, Iowa State, Iowa, Ohio State, Gonzaga, USC, Virginia, Purdue, Ole Miss, Missouri and Villanova.

He also had an offer from Michigan State. That's where Cameron's older brother, Max, played last season before announcing for the NBA draft where Max was selected by the Lakers.

“We do very similar things stylistically,” Rolling Meadows coach Kevin Katovich said. “They plan to utilize his strengths the same we do. “(Minnesota head coach) Ben Johnson worked the hardest. He was at like 12 of our games. So, I think it is a great fit for both of them.”
