Solomon Ball, a lefty combo guard out of Sharpsburg Maryland, announced his commitment to the Huskies on Friday afternoon. He’s the third commit lined up for the class of 2023, and the second in the last week.
Solo Ball — already in the running for best name in college sports — chose UConn over DePaul, USC, Miami, and some school in Rhode Island. He’s the 69th-ranked player in 247’s Composite Top 150 and the third-ranked player out of Maryland.
Ball plays at Brewster Academy in New Hampshire, the same school that produced Jalen Adams. This past spring, Ball was teammates with newest UConn commit Jayden Ross on Team Melo, Carmelo Anthony’s grassroots program.
