NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Grassroots prospect Grevaughn Goodman earned his first National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I offer this week from Bryant University.

Goodman caught the attention of Division I coaches and scouts during the Caribbean Tipoff Classic in November.

His best game was a 15-point performance for The Bahamas Elite in a loss to Kai Jones and Brewster Academy.

The 6’0” guard currently plays for Homestead High School, but will reclassify to the class of 2020 and play prep basketball for the Woodstock Academy in Woodstock, Connecticut.

Along with his performance last season in Florida and at home at the Caribbean Tipoff, Goodman has also represented The Bahamas internationally on several occasions with the junior boys’ national team.

He was a member of the team that finished seventh overall at the U-17 boys Centrobasket tournament last year in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Goodman averaged 14.6 points and 2.6 assists across six games for team Bahamas.
