Each and every time Phenom Hoop Report gets to report or sees a commitment from a player we have seen over the years, it is always a fantastic day. It is great to see players achieve their goal to play at the next level and it is such a great accomplishment for that player.
Here is the latest commitment.

Class: 2022
Committed to: Eastern Michigan
What Was Said by Phenom Hoops:
“I would describe my game as a two-way player. I can score on all three levels and defend the 1-4, rebound at the highest level, and I play with 100 percent effort the whole game.” – Lovejoy on how he would describe his game
“Lovejoy has been one of the most consistent guards this season and continued that in Rock Hill. His combination of speed, playmaking ability, strength, IQ, and feel for the game is impressive. Though a guard, he is one of the stronger guards in the state and picks his spots incredibly well. He filled it up once again, which shouldn’t be a surprise anymore.”
“Lovejoy continues to make his mark here in the state of North Carolina. All he has done here is produce at a high level, especially showing his ability to score the ball. For his size, he plays incredibly strong, bullying defenders around, getting into the paint, and creating for himself but also making right reads. Really do believe a school could get a nice steal at the guard position with Lovejoy.”
“Lovejoy is an unsigned senior guard that college coaches should be looking at. Why' Because he continues to be consistent in his production. The strong, physical guard continues to show his ability to get paint touches and score in a variety of ways. And when you guard him for that, he can knock down shots. He led the charge once again, scoring all over the floor with 29 points. Also plays extremely hard on the defensive end as well.”
“I’ve absolutely loved what I’ve seen out of 2022 Orlando Lovejoy (1 of 1) today. He has been all over the place, making plays, playing physical, getting his hands on the ball, playing with a tremendous motor, and attacking in transition. #PhenomHolidayClassic”
“6’3 2022 Orlando Lovejoy (1of1 Prep) has been in total control of this game. Always around the basketball. Does a great job creating space and using his body on drives. Good finisher at the rim. #PhenomHolidayClassic”
“6’3 ’22 Orlando Lovejoy (1 of 1 Elite) is very productive with this group. Aggressive downhill driver with vision, toughness, and the ability to finish through contact. Active defender with a high motor. Shoots it at a nice clip. Next-level player #PhenomHolidayClassic”
