Four-star recruit Myles Powell has signed a National Letter of Intent to play for Seton Hall beginning in the fall of 2016.
Powell, who committed in September, is on the ESPN Top 100 list for Class of 2016 student-athletes, and is Seton Hall’s first commit for its 2016 recruiting class. Powell is also ranked the third-best recruit in the state of New Jersey, and is considered one of the best three-point shooters in the country.
“We are very excited to welcome Myles into the Seton Hall Basketball family,” head coach Kevin Willard said. “Myles has a tremendous shooting ability, and he also can beat his defenders off the dribble. He is a terrific young man who will fit in very well in our program and at the University.”
Six schools are working hardest to get Thon Maker at the present time.
“Arizona St, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Notre Dame and St. John’s,” Maker said on ESPNU on Thursday.
When Maker was asked about his thoughts about going to college next year instead of pursuing a pro career, he said that it was likely he will end up on a college campus next year.
“Most likely,” Maker said. “I am, yeah, but I’m not thinking about pro in terms of going overseas and that, but I’m thinking about college.”
