Princeton's 2013 recruiting has likely been complete for a while now, but somehow the news that guard Khyan Rayner ("Key-on Rain-er") was a part of the plan slipped under my radar until a tip from a reader last week.
The fact that Rayner's commitment to Princeton went unnoticed around these parts is no slight on his considerable ability. The high-scoring 5'10" guard from Portland, Oregon's Jesuit High School is a two time state champion and the Metro League's reigning Player of the Year.
Today I spoke with Jesuit coach Gene Potter about the sixth member of Mitch Henderson's 2013 class. Exclusive quotes and analysis plus links to player evaluations and videos of Rayner can all be found after the jump.
