The Hurricanes basketball program bolstered their future perimeter offense with the commitment from class of 2021 four-star prospect Nisine Poplar, a combo guard out of Philadelphia’s Math, Civics, and Sciences Charter School (MC&S).
Standing at 6-foot-5 with an 180-pound frame, Poplar emerged as a high-profile prospect in his junior year of high school following a breakout offensive campaign in which he averaged 21.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.4 steals per game. In addition to his well-stuffed statline averages, Poplar was also named the Pennsylvania Class 2A Player of the Year and was the MVP in the MC&S Mighty Elephant’s first Public League championship victory.
