Bonner-Prendie senior Deuce Ketner decided after high school he wanted to go to a school that really wanted him.
The 6-foot-7 forward got a lot of interest from Division I schools, but also a lot of unfulfilled promises from coaching staff not fully committed to him, writes Joseph Satoliquito for The Philadelphia Inquirer.
He got tired of the waiting game contending with an overflow of players clogging up the recruiting process.
So on May 1, Ketner publicly committed to Millersville University, a Division II program.
Now he believes his “best basketball is ahead” with the Millersville Mauraders.
“I feel Millersville is the best option for me to develop as a person and as a player,” said Ketner, an all-league player averaging 17.5 points in the Philadelphia Catholic League.
Ketner is the son of the late Lari Ketner, an NBA player and Roman Catholic star.
The Millersville staff project that Ketner will be a versatile shooting guard and a small forward or power forward.
Billy Cassidy, Bonner-Prendie’s coach, believes Millersville is a great fit for Ketner.
Under coach Casey Stitzel, the Marauders have turned into a top-three program in the PSAC.
