Ivan Rabb will announce his college choice on Monday night at 10 p.m. EST, his high school coach Lou Richie confirmed to SNY.tv.
“I know people are questioning why I would go to Cal, but you have to see past that and see the potential on the team,” Rabb told USA Basketball on Thursday before the Nike Hoop Summit. “I see how much better they got from last year to this year. I just see the energy and they’re hungry.”
Needless to say, the addition of Rabb would be huge for head coach Cuonzo Martin and assistant Yanni Hufnagel. Rabb is the projected No. 8 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft by DraftExpress.com.
Rabb, Caleb Swanigan and Davon Dillard all visited Cal earlier this season, and the 6-5 Dillard from Our Savior New American committed soon thereafter. The trio discussed a package deal, but Swanigan surprised folks by picking Michigan State over Cal on Friday.
Rabb and Swanigan were also working on 6-7 Marietta (GA) Wheeler wing Jaylen Brown, who was also at the Nike Hoop Summit and also recently visited Cal.
Cal also picked up a pledge from 2015 shooting guard Tyson Jolly, who told SNY.tv he was working on recruiting Rabb to the Pac-12 school.
