The out-of-season hits for the Milwaukee Rufus King boys' basketball program continued Friday when class of 2017 wing guard Jordan Poole announced he would be attending La Lumiere Prep School for his senior season.

A month after longtime coach Jim Gosz announced he was leaving King in order to become the new boys' basketball coach at Whitefish Bay Dominican, Poole opted to leave King for La Lumiere, a Catholic day and boarding school located in La Porte, Indiana. 

Ranked No. 3 among class of 2017 prospects in Wisconsin by WisSports.net, Poole joins two other Top 100 prospects in the country at La Lumiere -- No. 12 Brian Bowen (6-7), a Saginaw, Michigan, native, and No. 23 Jeremiah Tilmon (6-10), an East St. Louis, Illinois, native.

Poole committed to the University of Michigan on October 23, 2015 and averaged 18.2 points per game as a junior at King, helping the Generals to a 15-9 record.

A three-year varsity performer for the Generals, Poole's departure is a big blow for a King program still in search of a replacement for Gosz, who won more than 500 games and four WIAA state championships during his 26-year coaching tenure at the Milwaukee City Conference school. 

Poole's backcourt teammate at King -- 6-foot-0 senior Virshon Cotton -- recently picked up NCAA Division I scholarship offers from NJIT and Robert Morris. But Cotton, who averaged 18.1 ppg as a junior, also is rumored to be considering attending a prep school.

La Lumiere is one of the top prep-school programs in America under coach Shane Heirman. James Banks, a 6-foot-10 center who graduated in May, is headed to the University of Texas on a basketball scholarship in the fall.
