Daily News | Camden High’s Daesear Haskin commits to play basketball at St. Joseph’s
Camden’s Dasear Haskins is staying home to play basketball under St. Joseph’s coach Billy Lange, he announced Saturday afternoon.
The 6-foot-6 small forward will join other locals in Roman Catholic’s Xzayvier Brown and Anthony Finkley as members of the Hawks’ 2023 recruiting class. In March, St. Joe’s expressed interest in Haskins and then extended him an offer while he was in Dallas, Texas, supporting fellow Camden teammate and Kentucky signee DJ Wagner at the McDonald’s All-American game.
“They were loyal and upfront,” Haskins said about the St. Joe’s staff. “I’m very familiar with the program, so its just an honor for them to call me and believe in me.”After an up-and-down recruiting process, where Haskins said the transfer portal impacted a few of the offers he held, the forward wanted to solely focus on his senior season before committing to college. He was looking for an environment similar to the nationally ranked Panthers; a winning program that doubles as a brotherhood.
In addition to the familiar faces, Camden coach Maalik Wayns, who’s also a Roman graduate, was coached by Lange at Villanova, where Lange served as an assistant coach from 2011-13. Those connections made Haskins feel right at home.
