    TYSON JOLLY 1220 AD 150California may have missed out on Caleb Swanigan, but they did add Tyson Jolly.

    The 6-foot-4, 190-pound shooting guard from Oklahoma City (OK) Putnam City West committed to Cal late Friday night.

    He also considered Gonzaga, Oklahoma State, SMU and UTEP.

    “[I liked] they coaches,” Jolly told SNY.tv. “And how they were on me every day, Coach Yanni [Hufnagel] and Coach [Cuonzo] Martin about how much they need me. And when I got to campus the team loved me. It seemed just like home and plus it’s in the Pac-12.”

    Jolly joins small forward Davon Dillard of Our Savior New American in Cal’s 2015 recruiting class.

    They remain in the mix for several others, including 6-7 wing Jaylen Brown and 6-11 big man Ivan Rabb, both of whom will play Saturday in the Nike Hoop Summit.

    “Me and Davon are trying to get Ivan for sure,” Jolly said. I don’t know what’s going on with Jaylen Brown as of now.”

    The Jolly commitment was previously reported by Scout.com.
