  • Louis King, the 6-foot-8 small forward from Hudson Catholic and Team Final, committed to Oregon on Thursday.

    King took his only official visit to the Pac-12 school earlier this month and then hosted Ducks head coach Dana Altman and assistant Mike Mennenga on a home visit.

    “The campus was mind-blowing,” his mother, Ativea King, previously told ZAGSBLOG. “Their message was to come in and be a key piece to what they are wanting to accomplish.”

    King chose Oregon over Kansas, Purdue, N.C. State and Seton Hall.

    NEW YORK — Cole Anthony does not have pleasant memories of the final basketball game of his sophomore season at Archbishop Molloy High School.

    Anthony missed on his attempted layup with three seconds left in regulation and the Stanners lost to Cardinal Hayes, 64-62, in the CHSAA Class AA Intersectional championship at Fordham University’s Rose Hill Gym.

    To this day, Anthony blames himself for the team’s loss.

    “We weren’t ready to play, the whole team,” the 6-foot-3, 180-pound Anthony told me last week in the Molloy gym in Briarwood. “None of us came to play. I remember the practice before, dudes were smiling. And that’s probably on me, it was probably on me not to put them mentally in check, but we weren’t ready for that game.”

    MONTCLAIR, N.J. — There has been a whirlwind of activity surrounding Jalen Carey this week.

    The 6-foot-4, 175-pound point guard from the NJ Playaz and Montclair (N.J.) Immaculate Conception finished up his official visit to Syracuse last weekend. Then this week he had home visits with Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, UConn’s Kevin Ollie and Miami’s Jim Larranaga. On Friday morning, both Boeheim and Ollie were guest speakers at the Garden State Basketball Clinic at his high school.

    “I’m still just trying to see what’s the best school for me, so I’m taking it all in,” Carey told me Friday in the gym at his high school. “It’s getting a little bit stressful, but I’m managing to take it in. My mom and my dad and my coaches are helping me out.”

    Carey, ranked the No. 11 point guard in the Class of 2018 by 247Sports.com, is eyeing a specific decision date next month.
