Top High School Prospect Gives Verbal Commitment to Seton Hall
MSG.com has learned that one of the top prep school basketball players in the nation, California native Melvyn Oliver, has given a verbal commitment to attend Seton Hall University this fall.
The 6-foot-11, 330-pound center played for Mississippi Elite Christian Academy this past season where he averaged 20 PPG, eight RPG and three BPG, while helping his team to a 20-5 record.
When reached by phone at home Monday night, Oliver's prep school coach Victor Evans told me, "It appears that is the case, but I'm waiting to talk to Melvyn first thing in the morning."
Evans also added, "Oliver has all the tools to be special."
Evans feels a demanding coach like Seton Hall's Bobby Gonzalez will help Melvyn reach his potential.
On the first weekend in May, Oliver is expected to visit the Seton Hall campus and make it official.
