Toronto native Tevin Findlay has officially joined the Green Bay men’s basketball recruiting Class of 2013, as the versatile combo guard signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the Phoenix. The signing comes despite coach Brian Wardle being investigated for allegations of mistreatment of players.

Findlay is the third signee in the Green Bay recruiting class that will be joining the program next fall. He joins Little Chute high school teammates Turner Botz and Kenneth Lowe who both signed during the early signing period in November.

Findlay spent the 2012-13 season at IMG academy, a postgraduate prep school in Bradenton, Florida. Findlay averaged 15 points, six assists, five rebounds and three steals per game while helping IMG to more than 20 wins.
