Cedric Kuakumensah lists Penn in top five

 

Rhode Island big man Cedric Kuakumensah has narrowed his prospective college list down to five schools, keeping Penn in the mix along with Brown, Elon, Holy Cross and BU.

Kuakumensah told the New England Recruiting Report of his latest options this week, saying he plans to make a decision before the the November signing period. He will take official visits to some of the schools over the coming weeks, including a trip to Penn on Sept. 22, according to NERR:

The St. Andrew’s big man is coming off a very successful summer that saw him send his stock all the way to the Atlantic 10 level.  He walked away with over a dozen division I offers and only narrowed his list after taking a handful of unofficial visits this summer.
A good interior defender with a strong body, Kuakumensah has filled his frame out nicely within the last year. He is active at both ends of the floor, has a good nose for the ball, is a consistent shot blocking presence, and consistent rebounding presence on both ends.

Penn has already received one men's basketball commitment for the class of 2012, Jamal Lewis, and the next few weeks may prove crucial with several recruits coming through campus. Mike Hall, another big man, told The Buzz he plans to visit Sept. 16.
