Paul Jorgensen, a 6-foot-2, 180-pound point from Don Bosco Prep in North Jersey, verbally committed to George Washington Thursday night.
“I chose to commit to GW over Fairfield, Harvard, Lehigh and Quinnipiac because I loved the city of DC,” Jorgensen told SNY.tv.
“The coaching staff was amazing and I feel my game can grow there.”
New Heights coach Chris Alesi said Jorgensen can help coach Mike Lonergan’s club.
“Paul is a true point guard with an innate ability to break defenses down off the dribble,” he said. “He lives in the lane. Paul also has an reliable stroke which can allow him to play off the ball some.
“He was the driving force behind New Heights’ run to the Adidas Super 64 title, consistently outplaying other more highly regarded guards. That’s what he plans to do in the Atlantic 10, which is a big-time conference.”
Jorgensen is GW’s third pledge for 2014, following 6-7 small forward Anthony Swan of Virginia Episcopal School and 6-4 wing Darian Bryant of St. John’s High School in D.C.
