Minnesota forward becomes first to pledge to Harvard in class of 2011. 

Harvard head coach Tommy Amaker landed his first commitment in the class of 2011 this weekend from Jonah Travis, a six-foot-six forward from De La Salle High School in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

Travis is a highly talented player who ran with the Minnesota Pump n'Run this summer.  ESPN gives him a high-major rating of 90 while NBE Basketball reports that he selected Harvard over 18 other division I scholarship offers. 

Travis is best described as a combo-forward with a great motor.  While he does the majority of his damage inside the paint his perimeter skills are steadily improving allowing him to score the ball in a variety of different ways.  Travis selected the Crimson over the likes of Boise State, Wisconsin Green Bay, and Miami of Ohio.
