We're working on a full story about the fifth member of next year's Princeton recruiting class, but you can learn on your own about this new name here.
We'd been looking across the Internet for confirmation on this name for several weeks, but didn't turn up an article until this afternoon. An August 2007 story from the Orange County Register mentions in passing that 6'4" Chris O'Brien of Northwood High School in Irvine, California has announced he plans to attend Princeton next year to play basketball.
6'8" Stephen Lumpkins has verbally agreed to attend American University. The Serra forward was "actively recruited" by Princeton and Denver, among other schools.

What would it take to lure David Blatt to the NBA?
Forward/center Zane Ma of Harvard-Westlake in Los Angeles has announced he will be attending Princeton next year to play basketball. Ma is the third publicly-revealed member of Sydney Johnson's first recruiting class.
princetonbasketball.com editor Jon Solomon had a chance to speak with Ma's high school coach Greg Hilliard this afternoon.
Fox Sports' college basketball blog reports that 6'2" guard Max Huc (left) will be coming to Princeton next fall. Huc is currently attending Brewster Academy for a post-graduate year after previously attending The Hill School.
Jason Smith, Huc's head coach at Brewster, had this to say about the newest Princeton recruit:
"Max is a tough, hard-nosed, competitive point guard. He's an excellent passer and distributor of the basketball and an outstanding on the ball defender. Max is adjusting well to life at Brewster. He's a pleasant, positive young man who's a welcome addition to our community."
Huc was ranked in the Top 400 of Hoop Scoop's Fall 2006 list of juniors.
When asked by i95ballerz about his game, Huc said:
“My strengths are getting up and down the floor, passing and defense” he shared, while his point of necessary improvement is “The consistency of my shot”.
Huc joins Patrick Saunders as members of Sydney Johnson's first recruiting class.
