Dylan Harper is every bit of a five-star recruit, the Rutgers basketball commit absolutely going off on Friday at the City of Palms Classic.
The five-star guard scored 38 points for Don Bosco Prep in a 79-74 win over Columbus (Miami, Florida). Through the first four games of the season for Don Bosco (3-1), Harper is averaging 22.0 points per game.
It is an impressive start for Harper, who committed to Rutgers basketball in early December during a ceremony at the Fanatics headquarters in New York City. Harper signed an endorsement deal with Fanatics at the same event where he committed to Rutgers.
Harper is a consensus top-three player in the nation and as well as being a consensus five-star. At the City of Palms Classic (Ft. Myers, Florida), he is showing range and the ability to create his own shot.
