It was quite the Monday night for Joe Jones and his staff, as BU landed two more verbal commitments for the 2018 recruiting class.<\/p>\n
At 10:34 p.m., forward Fletcher Tynen from Bishop Montgomery High School in Torrance, Cali., announced via Twitter that he had committed to Boston University.<\/p>\n
Thirty-one minutes at 11:05 p.m., 3-star power forward Jordan Guest from nearby Santa Margarita, Cali., took to Twitter to announce his commitment to BU.<\/p>\n
Tynen and Guest join fellow Southern California native Garrett Pascoe, who committed in August, as the three Terriers apart of the 2018 recruiting class to date.<\/p>\n
Here’s a quick breakdown on Monday night’s commits, who are set to join the team as incoming freshman next fall.<\/p>\n
Fletcher Tynen, Bishop Montgomery High School,\u00a0<\/strong>SF, 6-5, 190 pounds, 2-star recruit.<\/b><\/p>\n Tynen is a versatile swingman with a high basketball IQ, who has played his high school ball for So. Cal powerhouse Bishop Montgomery.<\/p>\n Devin Ugland of PrepHoops.com said Tynen is “one of the most underrated and versatile high school basketball players in all of Southern California.”<\/p>\n According to Ugland, Tynen has stood out on the defensive end.<\/p>\n A key player on a Bishop Montgomery team that won the CIF State Championship a season ago, Tynen guarded 5-star players Marvin Bagley, Bol Bol and Jordan Brown during the playoff run.<\/p>\n Tynen told Ugland that BU likes how versatile he is. He also noted that Jones and his staff see growth and potential in his game.<\/p>\n Ugland mentioned that Tynen is underrated because of his unselfishness.<\/p>\n “Tynen is considered by some as one of the most under-appreciated players in the area because of his willingness to do the dirty work, while staying away from the flashy plays,” he said on PrepHoops.com.<\/p>\n Tynen is certainly a raw prospect, but one who could grow and develop into an all-conference player once he arrives on a college campus.<\/p>\n Jordan Guest, Santa Margarita Catholic\u00a0High School, PF, 6-9, 235 pounds. 3-star recruit<\/strong><\/p>\n Guest, a more highly-touted recruit, is ranked as the 24th best player in the state of California.<\/p>\n Ugland called him “highly skilled” as he shined for Santa Margarita last winter.<\/p>\n Guest possesses a strong frame for a high school senior. He has advanced post work but can also stretch the floor and shoot the three.<\/p>\n When Guest committed to BU shortly after Tynen, Ugland tweeted that “Boston University strikes again.”<\/p>\n The Terriers have made their presence known in a basketball hot-bed like Southern California.<\/p>\n BU currently has zero players from So. Cal on the roster, but the 2018 class is all of a sudden straight out of Hollywood.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By: Matthew Doherty It was quite the Monday night for Joe Jones and his staff, as BU landed two more verbal commitments for the 2018 recruiting class.
