Emmitt Holt has committed to Indiana.
The 6-foot-9 power forward from New York pledged to the Hoosiers Wednesday morning.
“My parents always told me that the worst feeling in life is to look back and say “I wonder,” because once doors close it’s rare they are reopened,” Holt posted in a note on twitter. “Today I would like to announce that I have committed to Indiana University. I would to like to take the time out to thank God for giving me this opportunity along with my family, coaches, and everyone that has supported me along the way. #newbeginnings #hoosiernation.”
Holt will be a member of Indiana’s class of 2014 class instead of heading to Vermont Academy (Vt.) for a final year.
Holt averaged 19.8 points, 14.6 rebounds and five blocks and was a finalist for the Mr. Basketball award at the end of the year in his senior season at Webster Schroeder (N.Y.).
Holt also averaged 23 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocked shots at the National Championships in Louisville for the Albany City Rocks.
Holt is the sixth member of the 2014 recruiting class for Head Coach Tom Crean, alongside of James Blackmon Jr, Robert Johnson, Max Hoetzel, Jeremiah April and Tim Priller.
