Lamonte Bearden, a 6-foot-3, 165-pound point guard from Germantown (WI) High, pledged to Buffalo and coach Bobby Hurley Tuesday night.
“I love their program and most of all, the coaches,” he told SNY.tv. “I’ll be able to create plays off the ball screen with Bob Hurley coaching me.”
A long, athletic player with a huge upside, Bearden led Germantown to a 28-0 record and the state title last season. He visited Buffalo this past weekend and ultimately chose them over Oregon State and Green Bay, he told SNY.tv. Minnesota, Creighton, Butler, Purdue and Iowa State all expressed interest.
Just a week ago, Hurley’s club secured a pledge from Mory Diane, a 6-foot-3, 175-pound 2014 shooting guard from Detroit Pershing High.
Now they have their backcourt of the future set with this latest pledge.
BIBBS TO VA TECH, WATSON TO OREGON STATE
Virginia Tech picked up its first member of the 2014 recruiting class when Justin Bibbs, a 6-foot-5, 175-pound shooting guard out of Montverde Academy (Fla.), pledged to the Hokies.
“We are VERY PROUD to announce that 6’5 Senior SF from Dayton Ohio Justin Bibbs has committed to Virginia Tech! The community is proud Justin,” Montverde tweeted.
Bibbs also considered Xavier, which earlier got a pledge from 6-5 Lakeville (MN) shooting guard JP Macura. Macura joined Edmond Sumner, a 6-3 Michigan point guard in coach Chris Mack’s 2014 class.
Meantime, Army Navy Academy (CA) point guard Devin Watson chose Oregon State.
