It looks like Drake got another commitment earlier today- Joey Matteoni, a 6'8" senior forward from Blue Valley Northwest HS in Overland Park, Kansas, where he was first team All-State his senior year. He originally committed to and signed with Northwest Missouri State, when it was coached by Ben McCollum.
