Shooting guard Angelo Ciaravino commits to Northwestern

Northwestern kept things local on Wednesday, landing a commitment from Angelo Ciaravino, a 6-foot-5, 175-pound guard from Chicago (Ill.) Mt. Carmel.

Ciaravino is the second player to commit to Northwestern this week, joining guard KJ Windham who made his announcement on August 4.

Ciaravino has spent his summer playing with the Illinois Wolves, one of the state's premier AAU teams, and a program that has produced Wildcat players like John Shurna, Nate Taphorn, Jordan Ash and Barret Benson.

Ciaravino will return to Mt. Carmel for his senior season to try and improve on a 27-7 junior campaign with the Caravan that ended with a loss in the IHSA 3A sectional finals to powerhouse Chicago Simeon.

Northwestern hasn't had many Chicagoans on the roster in recent years. Ciaravino is the first Wildcat from the Windy City since Jordan Ash in 2015.

Ciaravino gives Northwestern's Class of 2024 two big guards: Ciaravino is 6-foot-5 and Windham is 6-foot-3. Look for head coach Chris Collins to look for frontcourt players as he continues to build his class.

Ciaravino committed to Northwestern over 24 other offers including DePaul, Nebraska and Stanford from the Power Six.
