Tommy Amaker and Harvard scored big on Thursday morning.

Top 100 senior Chris Ledlum confirmed to Rivals.com that he has made his college choice and that he'll play his college ball for Harvard.

"I picked Harvard because it is the best university in the world," Ledlum told Rivals.com. "It is a perfect fit for me because it has amazing academics and also has an amazing basketball program, and I believe I can grow at an exceptional rate there on and off the court."

A native of New York who attends Northfield (Mass.) Northfield Mount Hermon, Ledlum is a 6-foot-5 do-it-all wing who currently ranks No. 94 nationally and he projects as a potential All-Ivy League level player for the Crimson.

Formerly a dual sport athlete and a Division One prospect as a wide receiver, Ledlum chose to focus on basketball last summer and the results have been tremendous.

He's physically tough, he can shoot with range, he's relentless in attacking the rim and he will hit campus ready to go both physically and mentally. He reminds Rivals.com some of current Charlotte Hornet Miles Bridges in both his build, approach to the game and ability to be productive on both ends of the floor.

"I believe I can be an impact person and player from the day I step on campus," said Ledlum. "Working hard and being good to people will allow me to grow and help the community of Harvard."

A member of the New York Jayhawks summer program, Ledlum also visited Georgetown and Yale officially before picking Harvard.
