Three NYC Guards finally Commit
Often times guards and especially point guards get overlooked as they often distribute the ball to the eventual scorer. They are however, essential to a winning team. This past week, three New York guards recently committed to colleges on both the east and west coast.
Sean Crawford, a 5'10" tough heady point guard who originally played with Coach Ron Naclario's '07 Cardozo Judges in Queens, NY recently signed a Letter of Intent according to his current Coach Ryan Hurd of Notre Dame Prep.

At the iS8/Nike tournament on Saturday, where Harris plays with United Brooklyn he stated that he intend to sign his LOI within weeks.
Vernon Teel a 6'4" guard has committed to Loyola-Marymount in California joining recent Seton Hall transfer Larry Davis.
