Henry Brooks commits to Penn

 

Penn received its third basketball commitment in two days with word that Georgia native Henry Brooks will be coming to Penn next year.

Scout.com's Evan Daniels tweeted that per a source, Brooks committed to the Quakers, calling it a "great get" for Penn.

Brooks is a 6-foot-7 power forward out of Miller Grove High School, rated an 87 by ESPN, which would make him one of the highest rated Ivy League recruits this season. Brooks had originally received interest from programs like Minnesota, Georgia Southern, and Mississippi State, as well as Harvard and Cornell, but tore his ACL in the state quarterfinal game. He was even offered a scholarship from Tennessee in early March, though the coach who offered, Bruce Pearl was fired several weeks later.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution high school hoops writer Michael Carvell described Brooks as "an ace defender for No. 1-ranked Miller Grove"

Miller Grove recently won it's third straight Georgia Class AAAA championship. According to his coach he's a 3.9 GPA student.

Brooks' commitment comes just a day after two European players announced their plans to come to Penn.

Here's a few clips of the new Quaker in action:
