More from the W. Hoops recruiting trail

 

Just a few weeks after the announcement of the incoming W. Hoops class, more news on that front: Jackie Kates, a senior point guard from St John Vianney in Holmdel, N.J., has announced a non-binding commitment to Penn for next year, according to an article from Asbury Park Press.

Her dad says she picked Penn because she couldn't pass up a chance to attend Wharton, despite interest from Cornell, Columbia and other schools that provide scholarships.

From APP.com's story:

A three-year starter at point guard for Lancers head coach Dawn Karpell, Kates averaged nine points and 5.7 assists per game last season, when Vianney went 29-4 and reached a second consecutive NJSIAA Tournament of Champions final.

The 5-foot-6 Kates is the third Lancer junior and ninth member of the Shore Conference Class of 2011 to give an oral commitment to a Division I school.
