Ryan Boatright, an eighth-grader from Illinois, already has his college decision out of the way after committing to USC this week.

Interestingly enough, Boatright has yet to pick which high school he'll attend this fall. The 5-foot-10, 145-pound point guard gives the Trojans a commitment from an eighth-grader for the second straight year.

In 2006, forward Dwayne Polee Jr. pledged to USC before entering Westchester (Los Angeles). According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Boatright will decide to attend high school at either East Aurora (Aurora, Ill.) or West Aurora (Aurora, Ill.) later this week.
