<p>The early signing period is underway. So that means a flurry of hoopers from the PA have announced their college decisions and are signing National Letters of Intent. Here are the guys who committed and/or signed recently.</p>
<p><strong>Commitments</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jeremiah Bembry | 6’6 G/W Executive Education </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Coach Leonard Hamilton and </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Florida State </strong></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">found an underrated fit in Bembry. Jeremiah's tools will be accentuated in their defensive scheme while getting opportunities to initiate the offense, down the road. When he arrives in Tallahassee, he'll be behind Caleb Mills (So) and Jalen Warley (Fr).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alaa Boutayeb | 7’2 C Dreamchasers Prep </span></p>
<p>Less than two weeks after his friend Jeremiah announced his plans to attend <strong>Florida State</strong>, Alaa committed to the Seminoles too. 7-footers have become a staple in Coach Hamilton's tenure at FSU and the big man from Morocco is the next in line. Other Centers: Naheem McLead (Jr) and Quincy Ballard (So).</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="1202391" first="Allen" last="Cieslak"] | 6’1 G Devon Prep</span></p>
<p>On October 30th, Allen gave his college pledge to <span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Susquehanna University</strong>. </span>The River Hawks locked up the Devon Prep guard early and it's going to pay off for both parties. When his time comes, Cieslak's on-ball shooting will cause problems in the Landmark conference.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="991212" first="Khalil" last="Farmer"] | 6’4 G Roman Catholic</span></p>
<p>Coach Speedy Claxton of <strong>Hofstra</strong> came down to Philly and found a gem in Farmer. Khalil's recruitment blew up this Spring during his first season in the Catholic League. Now he's headed to the CAA, one of the premiere Mid-major conferences. Other Shooting Guards: Zion Bethea (So) and Amar'e Marshall (Fr)</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="991210" first="Nasir" last="Griffin"] | 6’7 F West Catholic </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nas made the best decision for him and is headed to the PSAC to attend </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>East Stroudsburg</strong>. He's going to thrive as a Warrior, playing the 4 spot for Coach Jeff Wilson. Griffin will be one of five Philly Catholic League alums along with a few others players from the Philly area on the roster.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gabe Moss | 6’8 F/C Hill School </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Last month, Gabe announced his intentions to be a Blue Hen at<strong> Delaware</strong>. Coach Inglesby has a veteran group of bigs now but they'll need Moss to contribute right away once he gets to Newark, DE. </span>Other Power Forwards: Aleks Novakovich (RS Jr) and Andrew Carr (So)</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="1122112" first="Kareem" last="Watson"] 6’6 W & [player_tooltip player_id="1122111" first="Kaseem" last="Watson"] 6’6 G/W West Catholic </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The twins are headed out to Cali to attend<strong> Cal State Bakersfield</strong> in the Big West conference. Both Kareem and Kaseem are long and skilled enough to play either position on the wing. So they give the Roadrunners some positional flexibility. Other Wings (SG+SF): Travis Henson (Jr), Jack Schoemann (Jr), David Walker (So) and Ivan Reynolds (Fr).</span></p>
