Boise FLITE and Gonzaga have now connected on two great Idaho high school basketball players. The first connection with the Gonzaga Bulldogs came in 1999 when the Zags signed Bishop Kelly star and Boise FLITE standout Cory Violette. Violette went on to a have a stellar career at Gonzaga.
		Boise FLITE reconnected with the Bulldogs at the end of 2009 when junior Skyview star and Boise FLITE point man Kyle Dranginis verbally committed to play for the Zags.

Gonzaga noted both players' success playing with Boise FLITE as a key contributor in their recruitment. This underscores the importance of playing on a successful traveling team. While we in Idaho know our state produces some excellent basketball players every year, the fact is most Division 1 programs view Idaho as presenting relatively weak in-state competition for the best players. These programs feel like they "must" see Idaho players play against national competition in order to accurately assess their skills and measure their true collegiate potential. College programs look forward to watching Boise FLITE teams play each spring and summer so they can watch Idaho's best players compete with the best from around the country.
