Recruiting Roundup: Jake Klores, Gabe Brown, Bryan Antoine

Jake Klores, the 6-foot point guard from Riverdale (NY) Country School, announced his commitment to Columbia on Wednesday.

“Academics have always been really important to my family and me, and obviously Columbia offers some of the best in the world,” said Klores on his commitment. “At the end of the day, my family just wanted me to go wherever I felt the most comfortable, and Coach Jim Engles and Coach Jared Czech really made me it an easy decision for me.”

Klores, who ran with the NY Rens on the Nike EYBL circuit last summer, joins Jaron Faulds, Myles Hanson, Randy Brumant and Gabe Stefanini as the fifth commit in Columbia’s 2017 class.
