Wing Still Undecided
Andre Vanterpool, a 6-5, 185 pound wing forward from Manhasset High School in Manhasset, New York, is a member of the class of 2002 who is still in limbo.
Vanterpool, an athletic slasher who handles well for his size had received interest from Morgan State, Hofstra, Stony Brook, Wagner, Rider, and St. Peter's. However, seeing that he still has to fulfill his core requirements, Vanterpool has not yet decided on his destination for this fall.

"I have a couple of options that I'm considering," said Vanterpool. "I looking at Juco's and prep schools."
According to Erik Jaklitsch, an assistant coach with the New York Elite AAU program who is helping Vanterpool sort things out, a number of prep schools have expressed interest.
"I could name about a dozen prep schools who are interested in him," said Jaklitsch, who mentioned Redemption Christian as one suitor. "We're just working to see what will be the best financial situation for him and where he will get the best education."
Vanterpool also mentioned Monroe Community College in Rochester, New York, as a Junior College program that is still being considered.
Vanterpool had previously achieved a qualifying SAT score of 820, but still needs to fulfill his core requirements.
