Mt. Carmel point guard commits to Towson

Troy Franklin Jr. of Mt. Carmel verbally committed this afternoon to play basketball at Towson University.

"I’m elated with Towson," said Troy Franklin Sr. of his son's choice. "[Towson assistant] coach [Jim] Meil outworked all the recruiters. He put in the work to close this one. No question about it. He was all over everything."

Franklin, a senior point guard, chose the Tigers over offers from Central Florida, George Mason, St. Bonaventure and Toledo among others.

Check back with Recruiting Report later this week for more on Franklin's choice.
