Central star Tim Finke commits to Grand Canyon

By The News-Gazette

After years of speculation, crossing his move from Centennial to Champaign Central, star guard Tim Finke committed to Grand Canyon University on Tuesday night.

Finke announced his decision via Instagram, with a post reading: “I always wanted to be a part of something special. I found it here. To God be the glory. I’m home. #GoLopes.” This followed a Nov. 3 Snapchat from Finke indicating he was visiting Grand Canyon’s campus in Phoenix.

Finke could not be reached for comment Tuesday night.

Finke has at least 16 Division I offers, though neither Rivals nor 247sports listed Grand Canyon among those schools prior to the senior’s decision.
