Clemson offered 6-9 Davis Cochran of Brentwood, TN. Some of his other offers are Virginia, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Cincinnati, Notre Dame, Boston College, Kansas State, and Northwestern. He has taken an official visit to Cincinnati.
USC coach Lamont Paris added two more players to the roster in 6-10 Nasir Hines of Palm Beach State JC, and 6-4 Ford Wilder of Wilson Hall. That gives the Gamecocks a full roster of 15 players for this season.
Paris on new signee 6-8 Mathias Allessanco: “Mathias is a very talented young prospect that plays with tremendous poise and pace for a player of his age. He has outstanding basketball instincts and has shown the ability to create offense in a variety of ways. Mathias is the type of player that will generally have some advantage in most of his matchups. While his knee injury was unfortunate, I believe Mathias is equipped with the determination, commitment and discipline required to take full advantage of this next year. He will learn our system, improve his basketball skills and fine tune his body in a way that there is little doubt he will come out on the other side stronger in every facet of the game.”
Byrnes PG Colton Fowler was offered by UTEP and Ohio.
