<a href="https://www.on3.com/db/patrick-ngongba-150257/">Patrick Ngongba</a>, one of the top uncommitted players in the 2024 class, is narrowing his list down once more. Previously down to eight, the four-star recruit has now shortened his list to three schools — Duke, Kansas State, and Kentucky. 



The 6-foot-10, 235-pound senior out of Fairfax (Va.) Paul VI says he will announce his college decision on November 4th. He has officially visited each of his finalists. Duke hosted him twice, Kentucky once last month, and Kansas State will host him for a second time this coming weekend.



Ngongba will no longer consider UConn, Indiana, Providence, Kansas, and Michigan. 



According to the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/industry-player/basketball/2024/">On3 Industry Rankings</a>, Ngongba is the No. 21 overall prospect in the 2024 cycle. He’s also the No. 3 center prospect. The On3 Industry Ranking is a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

In a previous interview, Ngongba said what he’s looking for in a college program.



“For one, I want to go to a school that can develop me. I want to get to the next level, so a program and a coach that can get me there. Also, I want to go somewhere that has a family environment. A place I can bond with the players, play video games and hang out.



“How the coaches play, how they look to use me in the system will definitely be a factor and something I look at, but it won’t be the biggest thing for me.”<a href="https://www.on3.com/"></a>



<h2 id="h-scouting-report">Scouting Report</h2>



“Patrick Ngongba has a strong body with good length, and a projectable frame that should continue to grow as he enters a college strength program. He had a lot of offensive skill with soft hands and patience. Ngongba has a comfortable go-to move on the block with counters in his arsenal. He is comfortable finishing, in traffic, with either hand. Ngongba has touch, makes his free throws. He is an above average straight-line athlete, there could be questions about his lateral quickness and opening his hips and sliding his feet. He is a solid area rebounder. Ngongba has good instincts and a natural basketball IQ. He can go through bouts of consistency, especially with his motor. The offensive skill package is very intriguing and he has some production already in place. His mom and dad both played at George Washington.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
