DePaul Gets Pledge From Greg Sequele

Nov 9, 2012 8:03 PM

DePaul received a verbal commitment from Greg Sequele, a 6-foot-9, 210-pound forward who plays at Citrus College in Los Angeles, Calif.

"He was very comfortable with DePaul's staff, and we play a similar style," Citrus coach Chris Victor said on Friday. "We play a fast-paced style and we're aggressive on defense. He'll be playing the same way next year."

Sequele will have two years of eligibility remaining when he arrives next season.

"He's an extremely athletic 6-9 forward with an inside and outside game, very, very versatile," Victor said. "He'll be ready to go when he arrives at DePaul. Because of his athleticism, he's a playmaker on defense. He can make plays most people can't. He can also score in so many ways."

Syracuse Receives Pledge From Ron Patterson

Nov 3, 2012 6:07 PM

Ron Patterson, a 6-foot-3 guard out of Brewster Academy in New Hampshire, committed to Syracuse on Saturday.

"Ron is an athletic guard who has shot the ball very well from the perimeter this fall," said Jason Smith, the Brewster Academy coach, in an email. "He's an excellent defender and has tremendous length (6'10+ wingspan). I imagine his length would be very effective and beneficial in Syracuse's zone defense."

Patterson, a top-30 player in the class of 2013, initially committed to Indiana but was denied admittance last August because of his academic record.
