Chris Nwuli, a 6-foot-7 power forward from Sierra Canyon High School in Chatsworth, California has committed to Steve Picknell Rutgers Scarlet Knights program. He made his official commitment on Instagram.
He chose Rutgers over Louisville, TCU, USC, UCLA, San Diego State and Utah. Nwuli told ESPN: “I chose Rutgers because I love the way the coaching staff made me feel welcome, and the East Coast is where I want to be.” “I love the energy of the staff. Coach Pikiell breathes basketball, and he cares about his players. He is hard on his guys in practice and encourages them to be better players and people.”
In his junior year at Sierra Canyon, he average 8.9 points, and 3.7 rebounds per game. He played for the Oakland Soldiers in the Nike EYBL. In the Peach Jam, Nwuli led his team to the Finals in which he averaged 12.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 per game.
The Scarlet Knights add their fourth prospect to the Class of 2025. He will be joining three-star center Gevonte Ware, four-star guard Lino Mark and three-star guard Kaden Powers.
