The 2019-20 college basketball season is more than six months away, but the University of Miami Hurricanes already notched a significant victory on Monday afternoon.

Harlond Beverly, a 6-4 four-star combo guard from Montverde Academy near Orlando, announced on Twitter that he is “100 percent Committed!” to UM. He chose Miami over an impressive list of schools, including NCAA Tournament semifinalist Michigan State, which was expected to have an edge because Beverly is a native of Detroit suburb Farmington Hills and spent most of his life there.

Other schools that were interested in Beverly included Georgia, Kansas, Michigan, Baylor and Indiana.
