Jamaal Trice, a shooting guard from Los Angeles, made a verbal commitment to UConn Wednesday morning. The 6-foot-5 Trice, who attends Mount Zion Academy in Durham, N.C., will join the Huskies next season.
He was also considering Wake Forest, West Virginia, Virginia Tech and South Florida.
Trice completed his official visit to Storrs Wednesday morning. He was planning to wait until he got home, but instead accepted UConn’s offer before leaving the state.
He said by phone this morning that he was excited to be headed to UConn, and knew it wasn’t anything like his hometown.
“It’s WAY different than L.A.,” Trice said. “Especially this morning when it was snowing. I’ve never seen snow before.”
