Dylan Harper, the nation’s second-best high school recruit, puts up huge numbers in season opener

Five-star basketball recruit Dylan Harper certainly started the season off strong. The Rutgers basketball commit scored early and he scored often in his season opener.

Harper, who committed to Rutgers just last week, showed efficiency in scoring in multiple ways and handling the offense well for Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, New Jersey). Don Bosco rolled to a 67-40 win over Eastside (Paterson, New Jersey). Don Bosco was up 50-12 at halftime as they cruised to the win.

Playing in just the first half, Harper was 9-of-12 for 22 points. The scoring from the guard started just 10 seconds into the game.

 

Harper made his commitment last week at the Fanatics headquarters building in New York City (fitting since he signed a Name, Image and Likeness deal with Fanatics on the same day). He had a final five that included Duke, Auburn, Kansas, and Indiana in addition to Rutgers.

 

Don Bosco next plays McEachern (Powder Springs, Georgia) in the City of Palms Classic in Fort Myers, Florida. McEachern is powered by five-star forward Airious ‘Ace’ Bailey, who committed to Rutgers in January.
