    Fresh off winning a Peach Jam championship with Team Takeover on Sunday, Class of 2024 Paul VI (Va.) big man Patrick Nbongba has named his final eight schools.

    The 4-star, 6-foot-10 center is down to Kansas State, UConn, Indiana,n Providence, Kansas, Duke, Kentucky and Michigan, he announced.

    “Pat brings a lot of versatility, has ability to be tough around the basket, rebound and rim protect, and has passing and decision-making skills that allow him to be very effective on the perimeter,” Paul VI coach Glenn Farello said. “He can shoot it from all ranges. High efficiency player. Great in pick-and-roll. And is adept at all ball screen coverages.”

    Several PVI players, including Darren Harris (Duke) and Ben Hammond (Rhode Island) have already committed while their teammate Isaiah Abraham is poised to announce this week between UConn, Marquette, Providence and Virginia Tech.
