No. 41
Marc Loving (6-7, 205, SF), No. 62
Kameron Williams (6-2, 160, SG)
Thad Matta continues to pile up Top 100 commitments. Williams led Nike's ultra-competitive EYBL in scoring over the summer at over 22 points per game.
17. ArizonaCommitments: No. 47
Rondae Jefferson (6-6, 195, SF/PG), No. 89
Elliott Pitts (6-4, 180, SG)
Jefferson and Pitts will be a nice compliment to the frontcourt talent Sean Miller amassed in the 2012 class – assuming a couple of them are still around.
18. LSUCommitments: No. 42
Jordan Mickey (6-7, 210, SF),
Tim Quarterman (6-5, 180, PG/SG), JC Deng Deng (6-8, 215, PF/C), JC John Odoh (6-10, 230, C)
A long guard who has drawn comparisons to Jeremy Lamb, Quarterman came on strong over the summer and could wind up with a Top 100 tag when the 2013 rankings are updated in January.
19. Iowa StateCommitments: No. 68
Matt Thomas (6-3, 185, SG/PG), No. 77
Monte Morris (6-2, 170, PG), JC Richard Amardi (6-9, 220, PF/C)
Wisconsin fans will rue the day Bo Ryan allowed state Player of the Year candidate Thomas to slip out-of-state to the Cyclones.
20. IndianaCommitments: No. 91
Stanford Robinson (6-4, 190, SG/SF), No. 99
Luke Fischer (6-10, 210, C/PF),
Devin Davis Jr. (6-6, 185, SF),
Collin Hartman (6-6, 185, SF)
The Hoosiers are another program in the hunt for Vonleh. If you believe in the power of shoe company connections, IU's Adidas affiliation could be key.
