Blue Hens nab talented New Jersey guard

Khalid Lewis-El’s recruitment has spanned various conferences at different levels of the college basketball world. It went up-and-down, peaking when Trenton Catholic (N.J.) won the Tournament of Champions.

It came to a close on Wednesday, as the 6-foot-3 guard chose Delaware after visiting the Newark, Del. campus recently.

“Excellent fit for many reasons,” said Matt Pauls, Lewis-El’s AAU coach with Team NJABC.

He chose the Fightin’ Blue Hens over Manhattan, Wagner, Robert Morris, Drexel, Rider and others.
