COMMITMENTS
2021 St. Paul forward Luke Trotta announced his commitment to Ursinus College. Trotta is a 6-foot-6 forward who should fit in well in the Centennial Conference and develop into a productive big as he college career progresses.
OFFERS
2022 Gilman/Team Thrill point guard Christian Winborne Christian Winborne 6'2" | CG Gilman | 2022 State #199 Nation MD offered by Harvard and Nebraska. The Cornhuskers are Winborne’s first Big 10 offer and shouldn’t be his last. The 6-foot-2 lead guard has looked outstanding in fall league and recently hung 40 point on Mt. Zion Prep.
2022 Jarace Walker Jarace Walker 6'8" | CG IMG Academy | 2022 State #12 Nation FL has received an offer from North Carolina. Even though Walker plays his high school ball at IMG Academy, he spends the summer in Baltimore leading Team Thrill. The 6-foot-8 point forward is one of the most athletic and versatile prospects in the 2022 class. He’s being prioritized by several high major programs, but North Carolina marks his first blue blood offer. If I was a betting man, it won’t be his last as I could very well see Kentucky, Duke or Kansas eventually getting involved.
2022 Bishop Walsh/Team Thrill forward Mady Traore received offers from Arizona, Auburn, DePaul, Florida, Seton Hall and Virginia Tech. Yes, you read that correctly. I can’t remember a prospect blowing up as quickly as Traore, but programs were enamored with his performance at the HoopSeen event in Utah last weekend. The 6-foot-11 forward posseses guard skills and may have some of the highest upside nationally in the 2022 class.
2022 DeMatha forward Jerrell Robinson received an offer from Iona, his first offer to date. Robinson is a 6-foot-8 forward with upside who will intrigue programs as time passes. I’d expect a few more offers to roll in for Robinson sooner rather than later.
2023 Kwame Evans Kwame Evans 6'9" | SF Montverde | 2023 State #20 Nation FL offered by Florida. The Gators have been active in the DMV area and have developed solid in-roads with sought after prospects. They jump into the Evans sweepstakes and become the 18th school to extend an offer.
2024 St. Frances forward Derik Queen added another offer from Arizona State this week. Queen has established himself as a top 10 prospect in the class of 2024 and should only help his case further if there is a 2020-21 high school season. The 6-foot-8 forward also holds offers from the likes of Georgetown, LSU, Maryland and Virginia Tech.
2024 Malachi Palmer offered by Arizona State and Virginia Tech. Palmer is another prospect who currently plays out of state, but is a standout for a talented Team Thrill 2024 squad. He boasts tremendous size for his age at 6-foot-4 and is a dynamic scorer and playmaking lead guard. Palmer also holds offers from DePaul, LSU, Nebraska and New Mexico State.
