Tony Trocha Holds Major Offers

Tony Trocha plans to enter college in December and holds a slew of major offers, his mentor told SNY.tv.

“Tony is still taking intensive English classes for seven hours per day and preparing for the SAT,” Jamie Ibanez told SNY.tv.

“He is planning to enter college in the Spring semester. Kentucky, UCLA, Florida, Texas A&M and Rice all say they have scholarships for him for the second semester.”

Ibanez said no college visits were currently planned for the 6-foot-10 Trocha, a long, athletic forward from Colombia who played this summer at the Reebok Breakout Challenge and adidas Nations.
