UPDATE: Chris Silva committed to South Carolina. Check back soon for quotes and reaction.



One of the top basketball players in the country makes his college choice on Friday. Where will Roselle Catholic'sChris Silva be playing his college ball? — Seton Hall, South Carolina or Rhode Island? Find out as NJ.com live streams Silva's press conference below.

The 6-8, 205 pound foward took official visits to Seton Hall, Rhode Island and South Carolina recently, and cut Kansas State and Villanova from his list. The South Carolina visit took place this last weekend, where he attended the South Carolina-Georgia football game. Silva recently broke into the ESPN recruiting rankings at No. 95.

Silva averaged 8.8 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game last season as Roselle Catholic repeated as Non-Public B champions to make it back to the Tournament of Champions. Silva burst onto the New Jersey hoops scene as the Union County squad made its T of C championship run in 2013, most notably helping shut down St. Joseph (Met.) center Karl Towns in the title game.

Silva's college stock rose in the following offseason, and he further aided his prospects when he showed off a refined offensive game to help Roselle Catholic when guard Isaiah Briscoe was sidelined after transferring. He took on more of a secondary scoring role when Briscoe came back, but continued to be a dominant post defender.
