Lancaster big man signs with BU
In this day of early verbal commitments, news of players actually signing letters of intent really is not news at all. What would be news would be reports of players changing their minds.

But papers use signings as a chance to write a story about local heroes, and when we stumble across them, we share the here. Like this one about 6-11 center Todd O'Brien signing with Bucknell.

According to the Lancaster Intelligencer Journal, the Garden Spot H.S. senior entertained offers from St. Johns, Saint Joe's, LaSalle and Clemson before deciding Pat Flannery's "fiery leadership" and Bucknell's academics were the right mix for him.

The paper says:
O’Brien averaged 15.3 points, 10.8 rebounds and five blocks per game his junior year as the Spartans went 12-11 overall and qualified for the District Three Class AAAA playoffs for the first time in four years.
In other Bucknell recruiting news, the Huntsville Times reports 6-4 forward G.W. Boon was also expected to make his commitment to B.U. official.
