Guard Kyle Boswell verbals to UCSB

According to the Orange County Register:

Edison guard Kyle Boswell, 6-foot-1, has committed to UC Santa Barbara, Edison coach Rich Boyce confirmed today.

Boswell missed much of the 2008-09 season, his junor year, because of a back injury. He set the school single-season scoring record as a sophomore. He can sign a letter of intent with UCSB in Novemeber.

Here is ESPN's evaluation of the 2010 recruit from Huntington Beach, CA:

Apparently, the shooting guard can fill it up from the perimeter. Good luck to Kyle and welcome to the Gaucho program.
