    Malcolm Wilson, the 6-foot-11 center from Columbia (S.C.) Ridge View, committed to Georgetown on Tuesday.

    “The biggest factors in choosing Georgetown were the great academic and athletic opportunities,” Wilson told TheState.com. “The process was fun at times and stressful at times. I’m glad it’s over and I got to experience it.”

    A three-star prospect per 247Sports.com, he averaged 9.9 rebounds and 6.4 blocks last season and hopes to refine his game under Hoyas coach Patrick Ewing.

    “Having anyone want to coach you is a blessing, but especially coach Ewing who wants me to be a great as him,” Wilson said. “Coach Ewing always tells me that I’m quicker than most bigs but not stronger. The more I learn to make quick moves and go by and over slower players the more success I will have.”

    Wilson is Georgetown’s second commit in 2019, joining 6-foot-10 center Timothy Igohoefe.
