Last night I took the time to catch up with a number of unsigned class of 2010 prospects. I will be posting the lists in two separate posts rather than one long one. Along the way I learned that a couple of players had made their college choices.

Jelani Hewitt ’10, Northeast (FL): Georgia, Nebraska, James Madison, Charlotte, East Carolina, and Georgia Southern
                                Offers: All
                                Favorites: “No, not yet. I’ll make a decision soon. I have to figure out where I’m going to take my visits.”
                                Note- Hewitt is ranked #119 in Northstar Basketball's Class of 2010 Terrific 125, and is one of 14 remaining uncommitted players on the list.

Majok Majok ’10, Northfield Mt. Hermon (MA): Harvard, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma, Stanford, Drexel, Fordham, Virginia Tech, and Marquette
                                 Offers: Harvard, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma, Drexel, Fordham, and Virginia Tech
                                 Favorites: “Harvard and Oklahoma for now.”
                                 Note- Majok said that he has “a good relationship” with his UConn freshman Ater Majok, his first cousin, but that he has not been involved in the recruiting process.

Jamir Hanner ’10, NIA Prep (NJ): Seton Hall, St. John’s, Georgetown, James Madison, Canisius, Siena, Niagara, Temple, St. Joseph’s, William & Mary, and Syracuse
                 Offers: “James Madison and Canisius. That’s it so far because it always has been a situation with my grades. Now that I’m doing well at this prep school, I should hopefully [get more offers].”
                 Favorites: “Not really, but my goal is to play in the Big East conference.”
                 Note- Hanner stated that all of the schools besides Georgetown, William & Mary, and Syracuse are actively recruiting him. He added that “Seton Hall is highly interested” in him. As of now he remains in the class of 2010 as he “didn’t make that decision to be reclassified yet” to the class of 2011, but did mentioned that “it might” happen.

Ryan Romich ’10, Groton Dunstable (MA): Penn State, Iona, Colgate, Northeastern, Bucknell, Elon, Niagara, Quinnipiac, Cornell, and American
