Rather than wait it out, these young men made one of the most important decisions they’ll make in their lifetimes – where to attend college and play ball. Congrats to each and every one of them. Here are the commitments in chronological order:
9/10 Ethan Meuser | Hill School + NEPA Elite
Ethan got the ball rolling this month when he announced his plans to be Stonehill Skyhawk in the NE-10 conference. Once he gets on-campus, he’ll be expected to contribute immediately behind upperclassman forward Toni Buchmann.
9/12 Chas Kelley Chas Kelley 6'5" | PG Phelps | 2022 State PA | Phelps + Team Durant
The Texas native will take his talents to the ACC, where he’ll play for Boston College Eagles. Chas is joined in the 2022 class by Donald Hand Jr (VA) and they’ll compete for minutes with current sophomore Jaden Zachery during the ’22-23 season.
9/14 Wisler Sanon II | Phelps + Philly Pride
Doing a post-grad year at Phelps after a stellar high school career at Paul VI (NJ), Wisler will be staying in PA for college as a member of St. Francis Red Flash in the Northeast Conference. Next fall, he’ll be behind Maxwell Land at the 2-guard spot.
9/18 Ryan Dunn | Perkiomen + NY Jayhawks
Originally from NY, Ryan chose to play his college ball and attend school in the ACC, but as a member of the Virginia Cavaliers. Isaac Traudt, Isaac McKneely, and Leon Bond join him the UVA’s 2022 class. As wing who can play the 2 of the 3, Dunn will be in the mix with Armaan Franklin (Jr), Carson McCorkle (So), Taine Murray (Fr), and Igor Milicic (Fr), to go along with Bond and McKneely.
9/20 Dereck Lively II Dereck Lively II 7'1" | C Westtown School | 2022 State #3 Nation PA | Westtown + Team Final
The Duke Blue Devils earned Lively II’s pledge in a battle with other blue-blood and elite programs. He’s the latest addition on a class that includes Dariq Whitehead, Kyle Filipowski, and Jaden Schutt. Contingent on what former high school all-american Mark Williams (So) does, Dereck is poised to be the premiere big man once he arrives in Durham.
9/23 Daniel Skillings Daniel Skillings 6'5" | SG Roman Catholic | 2022 State PA | Roman Catholic + Philly Pride
Daniel is one of the fastest risers in the last 6-8 months and made the Cincinnati Bearcats his college choice, joining Sage Tolentino. The Bearcats are in the American Conference as of right now, and will head to the Big 12 within the next couple seasons. A versatile wing in his own right, expect Skillings to contribute early behind Jeremiah Davenport (Jr), Robert Banks Jr (Jr), and AJ McGinnis.
9/24 Demetrius Lilley Demetrius Lilley 6'8" | PF Lower Merion | 2022 State PA | Lower Merion + Philly Pride
Lilley is an extremely underrated pick up for Coach Strewsberry the Penn St Nittany Lions. He’s part of a deep class that includes Philly’s own Jameel Brown Jameel Brown 6'4" | SG Westtown School | 2022 State #180 Nation PA , Kanye Clary, Evan Mahaffey, and Kebba Njie. With PSU’s current bigs expected to graduate after the ’22-23 season, Demetrius should play a huge role for the Big 10 squad.
9/27 Chris Edwards | Palmyra + York Ballers
Edwards is bringing size to the DeSales Bulldogs. He’s the first commit in the class for Coach Coval and will have an instant impact backing up Elijah Eberly, as they prepare to take back the ECAC title.
9/28 Justin Moore Justin Moore 6'1" | CG Archbishop Wood | 2022 State PA | Archbishop Wood + K-Low Elite
Justin more caps off a spectacular summer by announcing his plans to stay home and play for Coach Spiker and the Drexel Dragons. His head coach for his former school (McDevitt), Will Chavis, is also an assistant on-staff. Once Moore gets to campus, a combination of Cameron Wynter (Sr), Matey Juric, and Trevion Brown (Gr) will be ahead of him.
