New Zealand native Flynn Cameron will enroll at DePaul at the semester break, he told 247Sports.

“They’re a great school with a high major basketball program, which I feel I could develop into a better player,” Cameron said.

“I’m very attracted to the city and their players and coaching staff are so welcoming,” he added. “They’re also the college that chased me the hardest making me feel like they really needed me.”

Cameron, who currently resides in Australia, said he picked Dave Leitao and DePaul over interest from Oklahoma, Louisville and St. Mary’s.

“DePaul wanted me from the start,” Cameron said.

“Shane Heirman, he has good connections with his players and former coach at La Lu, who had good connections with Australians,He gets what I’m about and he was the coach who recruited me he hardest

DePaul watched Cameron multiple times in July, including at the NY2LA Sports event in Milwaukee with AUSA Hoops. Cameron is the equivalent of a top 150 type prospect in the United States.

“Watching their game against Northwestern, I felt like I could make the difference between winning and losing,” he added. “Maybe not yet but in the future I believe I can.”

Cameron played for New Zealand in the Oceania u18 Championships this past summer, averaging 7.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists a game.

“I believe I can be the one that can make the team better by distributing the ball and making others better,” he said. “Just making the right plays down the stretch as well and creating for not only myself but for my teammates.”

DePaul is currently 6-5 on the season with a game on tap against Miami-Ohio before they enter Big East conference play.
