Warrior Men’s Basketball Inks Spokane Standout

“I chose LC because of the family environment,” Skaife said. “The coaches, players and even the academic staff felt like a family. They all genuinely care for each other.”

Skaife is currently a senior at Ferris High School in Spokane playing under Gonzaga alum Sean Mallon. He had a highly decorated and successful career during his time as a Saxon. The 6-4 guard finished his career with more than 1,000 points scored, one of just eight players to break the 1,000-point mark in Ferris High School history, and was a three-time All-Greater Spokane League selection. In his senior year Skaife helped Ferris to district play and put together an eye-popping stat line along the way. He averaged 23.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.3 blocks. He hit 66 3-point shots, took 16 charges and made more than 100 free throws at an 86% clip.

“We could not be more thrilled to have Dylan joining us here at LC,” Head Coach Austin Johnson said. “Coach CJ Johnson did a great job of developing a great relationship with Dylan and spearheading his recruitment. Dylan had a great high school career and we expect him to have an immediate impact on our program. He has a high basketball IQ and great leadership traits. He had some great coaches along the way in Coach Mallon at Ferris and the Hooptown Elite AAU program. Dylan has a lot of great basketball attributes, but arguably his greatest strengths are his intangibles as a player, teammate and person. He has a tremendous desire to win, but that’s also matched by his desire to see his teammates succeed. We can’t wait to work with him and be a part of his journey on and off the court.”
