DePaul has its first commit in the Class of 2022.
Yes, the Blue Demons received a verbal commitment from an eighth grader on Friday night.
Amari Bailey, who currently attends Mark T. Skinner West Elementary School in Chicago, announced via Twitter that he will remain in the city for his college career, according to Mike O’Brien of the Chicago Sun-Times.
“I am staying home,” he said in a tweet. “I verbally commit to DePaul. I’ve always wanted to play for my city and I’m not too young to know that I wanna put on for my city.”

DePaul Lands Commit from 8th Grader
"He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?

Percent chance this kid ever laces up for DePaul? 10%?

This is almost offensive. Did DePaul ask this 13 year old kid for a commitment? Or is he someone they watched at AAU and talked to and he said, "I want to play at DePaul." Or is this a joke?

A kid from my son's AAU team committed to Florida after 8th grade. His dad compared him to Lebron James at the time. Silly parents.... He ended up at Wake Forest so not too bad, but there's no telling how they will turn out at that stage.

He did, but Bailey was actually a halfway decent player at IU.
