Camryn Crocker narrows list to three (Penn is on it)

Penn basketball recruiting target Camryn Crocker has indicated that he's down to three schools, and Penn has made the list.

Crocker, a 6-foot-2 point guard out of California's Los Alamitos high, told scout.com's Greg Hicks (Here's a link to the article but it's under a paywall) that the Quakers, along with UC Irvine and University of Denver were his top three.

“I was at Penn last weekend and it was great,” Crocker told Hicks. “I loved it there. I got to know the coaches a little better and had a chance to hang with the players. I also went to a game at the Palestra and it was really nice.”

Judging by the timing of the article, Crocker saw Penn beat St. Joe's earlier this month.

Crocker told The DP back in October that he liked Penn's academic prestige, as well as the "up-tempo" style of play at Penn.

“Penn would be a no-brainer if they were allowed to offer full scholarships,” he added.

He also had positive things to say to Hicks about UC Irvine ("I came away very impressed with the campus and the facilities, so it was a really good visit too”), though he is yet to visit Denver. He told Hicks that he has no time frame for his decision.

Hicks, one of Scout's West Coast recruiting analysts, called Crocker "one of the better unsigned point guards remaining in the 2011 West Coast class."
