Jordan Dingle to Penn

By ADAM ZAGORIA

Jordan Dingle, the 6-foot-3, 195-pound point guard from Blair (N.J.) Academy and the NY Lightning AAU program, committed to Penn on Saturday.

He also considered Boston University and Saint Louis, and visited Penn and BU officially. Four other Ivy League schools also offered.

“One day the basketball is going to stop bouncing and if I choose Penn, I know that whatever business I walk into, that degree will hold a lot of weight,” Dingle said. “It has a good combination of high level basketball as well, being in the ‘Big 5.’ And they have a really good coach [Steve Donahue] who reminds me of my high school coach [Joe Mantegna].”
