    Chris Lykes, a 5-foot-7 point guard from Washington, D.C. Gonzaga Prep, committed to Miami on Sunday.

    The No. 16-ranked point guard in the Class of 2017 per 247Sports.com, he also considered Villanova, Notre Dame, Georgetown, N.C. State, Virginia and Stanford.

    The news was first reported by Scout.com.

    Lykes averaged 23. 6 points per game two weeks ago at the EYBL stop in Atlanta, which included a 33-point performance in a tough 82-76 loss to CP3.

    Lykes was one of the top players in the DMV this past year, averaging 22 points, 4.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 2.7 steals per game. He shot 47.3 percent from 3-point range, and was named the WCAC Player of the year.

    “I took a lot of leadership skills away from last season,” Lykes told SNY.tv recently. “My sophomore year, I had Bryant Crawford (now at Wake Forest) to learn from, but last year I played the point guard spot, and I learned a lot from playing that position this year.”
