The 6-foot-6 small forward spent his first two high school years at Dulaney before heading to Legacy and flourishing playing a national schedule. The sharpshooter averaged 15 points a game and drew interest from major colleges.
Earlier this spring, he narrowed his recruiting list with Georgetown, Rutgers, St. John’s, Virginia Tech and Xavier joining Maryland. He originally hoped to make his college decision Aug. 21, when he turns 17, but moved up his decision.
Legacy coach BJ Jackson says that Cornish has pro potential if he sets his mind to it. Jackson has been impressed with how dedicated Cornish is in the classroom, basketball court and weight room.
