Local recruit Devin Coleman considering Penn

The Quakers made the final-four list for Philly recruit Devin Coleman, a 6-foot-2 guard out of Friends Central in nearby Wynnewood, Pa., according to this article from Philly.com.

Coleman was named to the McDonalds All-American nominee list (with 1,000 high school players). His coach told the Inquirer that he would wait until after the season is over to make his decision. Along with Penn, his coach says he is looking at Clemson, Rice and Rhode Island. According to scout.com, he also (at some point) had interest from several other local schools: Drexel, Delaware, St. Joe's, La Salle and Temple. Scout lists him as having offers from all of those programs.

By online grading standards, Coleman would be a strong pull for Penn. He's rated a three-star, 89 on ESPN, which describes him as "streaky at best from three point range where he needs time and space to be a threat." It says his talent is driving to the basket and body control, as well as defense.

To provide some context, freshman Miles Cartwright was rated 90 by ESPN.
