Two of the nation's remaining unsigned high school boys basketball standouts recently made college commitments.
DeMarcus Cousins, who led LeFlore (Mobile, Ala.) to a 29-3 record against one of the nation's strongest schedules, announced that he would attend Memphis.
The 6-foot-10, 270-pound senior had several monster games this year, all against nationally-ranked opponents, while keeping his team in MaxPreps' Xcellent 25 rankings all season.
He also considered Kansas State, Washington, North Carolina State and Rice after earlier backing out of a verbal to Alabama-Birmingham.
Syracuse received a commitment from 6-foot-11 DaShonte Riley, who has helped Detroit Country Day (Beverly Hills, Mich.) to a 19-1 record and a high national ranking throughout the season. His second choice was Marquette.
