A day after one Cherry Creek High School senior committed to play for a school out of state, another decided to stay close to home.
Julian Hammond III, an all-state selection for the Bruins football and basketball teams, announced his commitment to the CU Buffs basketball program on Twitter early Saturday night.
“Blessed to announce that I am committed to continue my academic and athletic career at the University of Colorado! Thank you @CUBuffsMBB for the opportunity and every coach that has recruited me,” the 6-foot-2 guard tweeted.
Hammond has averaged 20-plus points per game in each of his past two seasons at Cherry Creek, including averages of 21.
