It has been fairly quiet on the recruiting/commitment front for the past couple weeks. There have been a sprinkling of major commitments every so often, though, and one of those came down in the past 24 hours. One of the top point guards in the class of 2013 came off the board.

Nigel Williams-Goss, a 6'4 sophomore lead guard from Findlay Prep (NV), verbally committed to UNLV, according to Findlay Prep coach Todd Simon. Williams-Goss is the third player from the Findlay Prep program—which was started by a UNLV booster—to commit to the Mountain West school, following Brice Massamba and Carlos Lopez.

An Oregon native, Williams-Goss had a great deal of high-major Division I interest, but opted for Lun Kruger's program in stead. The heady floor general is averaging 15.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game this season, according to coach Simon. Findlay Prep will play on ESPN at 9:00pm on Thursday night against Yates (TX).

In some other news that was reported by Jay Gomes of NJHoops, Sean Grennan '11 of Monsignor Donovan (NJ) is back on the market. A 6'2 shooting guard known for his stroke from beyond the arc, Grennan had been committed to Davidson.

The report from NJHoops stated that Grennan had been denied admission to Davidson, one of the nation's truly elite academic institutions. Grennan should not be short on suitors the second time around though, likely including other superb academic schools.

Before pledging to Davidson this summer, Grennan had offers from schools such as Bucknell, Holy Cross, Fordham, Lehigh, and New Hampshire. In addition, programs like Boston College, Michigan, and Seton Hall were showing interest.
