Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN is facing criticism for announcing high school player Dylan Harper's commitment before Harper did. Harper's family and Ron Harper Jr. expressed their displeasure with Wojnarowski's actions. Dylan Harper ultimately committed to Rutgers, catching the attention of Rutgers coaches Steve Pikiell and Brandin Knight. Harper's dedication to basketball, including early morning workouts and reviewing security-camera footage of his alley-oop dunks, was highlighted in a profile by nj.com.
