Four-star PG Lucas Morillo down to 6 schools

Lucas Morillo, a four-star point guard in the 2026 class, has narrowed his list of schools down to six, he told Rivals. Moving forward, the 6-foot-6 rising senior of The Newman School (MA) will consider Illinois, Marquette, Minnesota, Texas, UCLA, and Virginia.

Morillo completed an official visit to Marquette in June. He’s also visiting Minnesota this weekend and Illinois the weekend of September 26th. He plans to also visit each of his remaining finalists.

A native of the Dominican Republic, Morillo is ranked as the No. 32 overall player in the class, according to the Rivals Top-150 Rankings. He’s also the No. 6 point guard nationally. 

Prior to cutting his list, Morillo also received offers from Villanova, NC State, Ole Miss, Virginia Tech, Stanford, Dayton, VCU, Iowa, Georgetown, and others.

Morillo a standout at EYBL Memphis

Lucas Morillo was one of the top performers this summer at the EYBL Session in Memphis, according to Rivals’ Jamie Shaw:

For me, the impressive piece of Lucas Morillo’s game is his consistent ability to produce stats across the board. Listed in the 6-foot-7 range, Morillo is leading his City Rocks team in points, rebounds, and assists this summer. The team also finished 3-1 this weekend behind Morillo’s outputs.

His feel for the game is very intriguing. He plays at a pace where he is never rushed. He is confident on the ball, and he is able to get to his spots, getting his defender off balance, and putting them on his hip to create an advantage. He does not have a lot of explosive pop in his game, and that did get him in trouble around the basket at times, but he decelerates well and has a nose for the ball.

Morillo had two double doubles on the weekend, finishing Friday’s game with 19, 10, and five assists and then on Sunday with 16, 11, and five assists. On the weekend, he averaged 16.0 assists, 8.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.5 steals.

More on Morillo

More on Lucas Morillo from National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Shaw:

Always an across-the-board producer on the floor, Lucas Morillo showed this summer that he is the most dangerous with the ball in his hands. The 6-foot-7 Morillo averaged 3.3 assists on Nike’s EYBL Circuit playing with the City Rocks program. He rebounds his area well, understands angles, and he really moves the ball well, able to consistently create advantages. Playing with his home Dominican Republic at the FIBA U19 World Cup, Morillo averaged 4.3 assists. Still an across-the-board producer with excellent size, his production was at its best, and his team’s floor was highest when Morillo was the one making decisions on the ball. 

Morillo can run your offense, has great feel for the game, and is a skilled passer. He has excellent size, plays on balance, and always makes the right decision with the basketball.
