4-star C Thomas Sorber sets commitment date

Thomas Sorber, a four-star center in the class of 2024, will announce his college decision on Wednesday, May 17th at 3:30 PM ET.

The 6-foot-9, 250-pound junior out of Philadelphia (Pa.) Archbishop Ryan will choose between four schools: Georgetown, Miami, Providence, and Villanova. Sorber recently officially visited Georgetown and has unofficially visited Villanova.

According to the On3 Industry Rankings, Sorber ranks as the No. 67 overall prospect in the 2024 class. He’s also the nation’s No. 6 center and the No. 3 player in the state of Pennsylvania. On3’s evaluators are even high on Sorber, ranking him No. 51 nationally.

In a previous interview with On3, Sorber discussed each of his final four schools.

Thomas Sorber talks finalists

Georgetown: “I was recently on an official visit there. It went well. They showed me around the campus. They should me how their players live and stuff. It was nice. It was a nice, beautiful campus. They can help academically too. It’s a very smart school. Coach (Ed) Cooley is a great coach. I like how he uses his bigs. His assistants are great people, great people to talk to.”

Miami: “They are a great program. One of my old coaches is there (DJ Irving) so I have a relationship with the staff.”

Providence: “They’ve just been trying to build a great relationship with me. The staff has been recruiting me since they were at George Mason. They are trying to get me there badly.”

Villanova: “Nova is a great college near home for both basketball and academics. Growing up I was a big Nova fan, even before Jenkins hit the buzzer beater vs. UNC in the chip game.”

Scouting Report

“The size stands out immediately with Thomas Sorber. At 6-9, pushing 6-10, he has long arms and big hands with a sturdy base. He carves out space very well on the block, setting up a big target and using his hips and feet to establish and maintain position. Sorber has good touch around the basket. He does a good job of using the rim to protect the ball when necessary or going straight up and dunking it with authority. Sorber is a good rebounder, doing his work early to establish position and using his length and strong hands to go up and get it. Want to see him extend his range more, be more consistent from the free throw line. He has lost considerable weight recently and you can tell in how he moves. There is more upside to go here, but he is already proving to be a force on the low block.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
