Tice added that the two are supposed to talk again Thursday morning and that he was excited to hear from the Orange. Originally part of the 2021 class, Tice announced in May that he was reclassifying to 2022 and joining South Kent next season.

"It's been a very long journey for me," Tice wrote on Twitter on May 8th. "With not having any offers my junior year to becoming one of the top prospects under the radar in New York State. I first want to thank all of the colleges that have offered me a full scholarship to play basketball. I also want to thank all of the prep schools who have recruited me to do a post grad year. Lastly, I want to thank my parents, family, friends and trainers for being by my side through this process. I've gotten a lot of advice from many different people. Some say I should go to college while others think I should do a prep year. At the end of the day, you aren't in my shoes so you wouldn't understand why I made the decision I made. That is why I will not be attending college this fall, instead I will be attending South Kent School and entering the 2022 recruiting class. This is only the beginning..."
