Class of 2018 forward Nate Roberts committed to Washington Tuesday night, Elevate Hoops reported.
The three-star power forward, per 247sports.com, cut his list to Syracuse, Washington and Nebraska on Sept. 20. He currently attends Brewster (New Hampshire) Academy alongside SU commits Brendan Paul and Buddy Boeheim, son of Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim.
Since before Roberts started playing for Team Melo of the Nike EYBL, he had been on Syracuse’s radar, Dwayne Wise, the recruiting coordinator at Team Melo, told The Daily Orange.
“Syracuse has been there the whole time,” Wise said.
Former Syracuse associate head coach and now-Washington head coach Mike Hopkins had been the original recruiter of Roberts.
