JUCO 7-Footer Rozelle Nix Down to 3, Eyeing Early Decision
Rozelle Nix, a 7-footer from Pensacola (FL) State, is down to Pittsburgh, South Carolina and Loyola Marymount and will sign early, Pensacola assistant Joey Murdock confirmed to SNY.tv.
Brad Winton of JUCORecruiting first reported the news.
Nix has already visited South Carolina and Loyola and visits Pitt Oct. 24-25.
“He will make his decision out of those three in the early signing period,” Murdock said.
Nix, who has reportedly dropped 70 pounds to 318 since arriving at Pensacola last season, averaged 6.5 points and 5 rebounds last season.
“He’s a great teammate and an incredible human being,” Murdock said. “He has a big-time work ethic. He’s extremely strong and physical and will do exactly what he is asked every time. He will be a great addition wherever he choses.”
