Florida Gator Signs With Millrats
October 22, 2007 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
Saint John Riptide News Release
The Millrats are pleased to announce that they have signed 6'4 guard Rashid Al-Kaleem, a former Florida Gator.
Al Kaleem played for Coach Billy Donovan at Florida in the 2002-03 and 2003-04 seasons. The Florida Gators won back to back NCAA Championships the last two seasons.
Combining unlimited shooting range with great athleticism, Al-Kaleem is an excellent guard who thrives in the open court. He was one of the top prep players from the state of Massachusetts before going to Florida. In high school in Boston, Al-Kaleem led Charlestown High to three straight State Championships and a four-year record of 90-6. He left high school as Charlestown's all time leading scorer (1,566 points) and all time leader in three point field goals made (360).
As a member of the Cape Cod Frenzy last season, Al-Kaleem averaged 10.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game in the ABA.
The Millrats are a new entry in the American Basketball Association (ABA), and will play their home games in the 'Fieldhouse' on the campus of Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester, NH. The season and home opener is set for Sunday November 11, 2007 at 4:35 p.m. versus the Boston Blizzard. Single game, season and half season ticket plans are on sale now on www.manchestermillrats.com or by calling 1-866-9-GET TIX (1-866-943-8849).
