Christian Negron Sets Two Officials
The state’s top 2017 power forward Christian Negron is in the process of setting up his fall official visits. He exclusively tells PrepHoopsIllinois he has locked in a pair. See what schools Negron plans on visiting.
The Larkin power forward has been somewhat quiet on the recruiting front over last month publically. Behind the scenes he has been building relationships with coaching staffs and working his way through the process. Negron has locked down a pair of official visit dates.
Oregon State – September 17
DePaul – September 30
What stands out about DePaul?
“I like that Depaul is close to home, but I also like that they have a good understanding of where my game is and where it’s going to go. They’ve also been one of the most consistent programs in this recruiting process.”
He tells us what he likes about Oregon State.
“Oregon State is interesting because it’s a little outside of my element. I haven’t been to the west coast much. I don’t know much about them, but I do like the coaches that have reached out and I’m hoping I get a good understanding of what their program is like on the visit. I know they’ve been successful in the past so that’s always a good thing.”
Other schools that are heavily involved in his recruitment and are in the mix to secure official visits include TCU, Bradley, and UAB.
Negron is an uber athletic 6’7″ power forward that uses his athleticism to his full advantage. He is quick on the interior and finishes above the rim. Excels getting on the offensive glass for put backs. Flashes face up skill and has shot blocking potential.
