Patrick Lucas-Perry to play at Penn

Patrick Lucas-Perry chose Penn over Oakland at a Wednesday afternoon presser at his high school, Flint Powers in Michigan.

From this picture, tweeted by Eric Woodyard of the Flint Journal, it appears the school made quite a show of his decision, which came on a national signing day.

Lucas-Perry, a 5-foot-10 guard, is the seventh player to join Jerome Allen's first recruiting class at Penn. He reportedly originally had offers from some high-major programs, including Michigan and Michigan State, though he tore his ACL in his junior year and the interest from those caliber schools dissipated. His decision for the last 6 weeks had been down to Penn and Oakland, where his brother LaVal redshirted this year.

Lucas-Perry and Powers won the Michigan state class B title when Lucas-Perry was a sophomore — here's some footage from that game:
