Recruiting for the 2018 class continues for the Dayton Flyers, who landed a four-star prospect earlier this week and are in the running to get a commitment from another one of their top targets.

Anthony Nelson listed Dayton among his final five schools on Thursday, along with Clemson, Seton Hall, West Virginia and Minnesota. Nelson is a 6-foot-4 point guard from Harlem, N.Y., who is playing at the South Kent Preparatory School (Conn.).

Nelson will vist Dayton on Sept. 22, according to Adam Zagoria, of ZagsBlog.com. He’ll visit Seton Hall on Sept. 28, according to multiple reports. Dayton first offered Nelson a scholarship on May 16.

Dayton filled one 2018 scholarship Monday when guard Dwayne Cohill announced his verbal commitment. Dayton will have one more scholarship open if suspended forward Sam Miller doesn't return to the program.
