Mt. Zion Prep Rivals150 shooting guard Malachi Palmer will be announcing his college commitment at 1 p.m. ET a little later this afternoon from his hometown of Harrisburg, Pa. He'll be choosing between the Terps, Florida St, Oklahoma St, Seton Hall and West Virginia. He took an official visit to Maryland just before Christmas.
Fully expecting the Terps to get their first commit for 2024 today.
Palmer is a strong, big-bodied athlete who can finish at the rim through contact as well as create his own shot off the bounce. He's got a pretty smooth stroke out to 15 feet and is a decent three-point shooter although that isn't the strength of his game. One plus here is that with his size and versatility, you can almost certainly play both Palmer and DHS at the same time along with a more traditional point or lead guard. Could probably interchange the two at the 2/3.
I've officially put in my FutureCast. I really like what Palmer brings to the table and think he's a great addition. It is also worth noting that while Palmer most recently played on the EYBL circuit, at one point in time he played for Team Thrill with Derik Queen.
