Lathan Sommerville is locked into his decision for Rutgers basketball, with the highly-ranked center prospect announcing his signing day.
On X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Somerville announced on Sunday afternoon that he will be signing his National Letter of Intent (NLI) on Nov. 15.
Sommerville is a four-star recruit and ranked No. 120 nationally in the 247Sports Composite. He plays for the Skill Factory (Atlanta, GA).
Rutgers beat out some very competition for Sommerville. In May, he announced a top seven that included Villanova, Rutgers, Seton Hall, Bradley, Xavier, Missouri and Virginia Tech. He also held offers from Bradley, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest and Xavier.
Sommerville is a strong, physical presence with an impressive motor and work rate. He has a good understanding of floor spacing and some deft nuance to his game, including some good range to his jump shot as well as the ability to play in the low post.
I will be signing my National Letter of Intent to attend Rutgers University at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 15th at Richwoods

He is a very good rebounder and can challenge shots at the rim.
