Tony Trocha will be on a college campus in December.
That’s what his mentor, Jamie Ibanez, told SNY.tv Monday afternoon.
“He’s going to college in December, spring semester,” Ibanez said of the Colombian native. “He’s not going to prep school or anything.”
During the Reebok Breakout Challenge last month, Ibanez rattled off a list of scholarshipoffers that includes Kentucky, Ohio State, Baylor, Texas A&M, Arizona, UCLA, Oregon, Providence and Georgetown, among others. Ibanez said no college visits were currently planned for the 6-foot-10 Trocha, a long, athletic forward who recently played in the adidas Nations event in Los Angeles. “Right now he’s taking intensive English classes and preparing for the SAT,” Ibanez said. “He’s finished with high school.” FREE THROWS 6-8 PF Austin Nichols of Briarcrest (Tenn.)
