Former St. Rita grad, Charles Matthews, will attend University of Michigan.  He spent a year at Kentucky, so the six foot five wing will have three years remaining after he sits out next season.  Xavier was a finalist.  Kendrick Nunn will suit-up for Oakland after sitting out this upcoming season.  Nunn prepped at Simeon, where he teamed up with Jabari Parker to win four state titles.  His stay at Illinois was viewed as productive.  Nunn averages 15 points and 5 rebounds as a junior last season. 
DePaul released six foot nine forward Tommy Hamilton IV; He netted 8 points and 5 rebounds a game last season.  He will have one year remaining after he sits out.  Hamilton’s college career never lived up to the highly touted status he earned entering into DePaul;  “we hope the big fella finds the right setting for second opportunity”.
All Catholic League performer George Willborne Jr. will play for Texas San-Antonio next season, the six foot three guard should be a nice addition to Steve Hensen’s program. 
The states number one 2017 prospect Jordan Goodwin was visiting Northwestern last weekend. Chris Collins and his staff have done an amazing job of recruiting Goodwin.  He’d be a coup for The Wildcats.  In hot pursuit for his services are Illinois, Missouri, Michigan State, Indiana, and St. Louis University.
