Jephany Brown, center, an All-Met this past season for City Title champion H.D. Woodson, has reopened her recruitment after a coaching change at Providence. (Jonathan Ernst - FOR THE WASHINGTON POST) H.D. Woodson All-Met forward Jephany Brown and fourth-team All-Met guard Chanel Green, two of the most accomplished girls’ basketball players in D.C. public school history, were granted full releases from the letters-of-intent they signed with Providence, their high school coach Frank Oliver, Jr. said.

Brown and Green asked for their releases following coaching changes at the school. In mid-March, then-Providence head coach Phil Seymore resigned after seven seasons. A month later, P rovidence hired Susan Robinson Fruchtl from St. Francis University (Pa.). The H.D. Woodson duo asked for their releases after Providence announced the hiring of its new coach, Oliver said.

“It’s kind of like starting over,” Oliver said. “You want to make sure you’re in the right situation with the right coaches. Yes, you go to the school because of the school itself but you spend the majority of the time with the basketball program and are there on a basketball scholarship.”

(Joel Richardson - FOR THE WASHINGTON POST) Stone Bridge two-time All-Met defensive lineman Jonathan Allen said Monday morning that he has committed to Alabama.

Allen, one of the top national recruits in the class of 2013, visited Tuscaloosa over the weekend and needed very little time to make his decision upon returning home on Sunday. Allen, who has been bombarded by offers from some of the country’s top programs, including Florida, Ohio State, Penn State and Virginia Tech, said he was relieved to make a verbal commitment.

“I’m feeling so good that I finally committed,” Allen said. “Hopefully, the process will start slowing down and I can start to focus on football, and on my senior year. … At the end of day I felt Alabama was the best fit for me. I’d develop more under [outside linebackers] Coach Lance Thompson and the whole staff.”

(Tracy A. Woodward - THE WASHINGTON POST) After playing in a travel-team event in Dallas over the weekend, Stanford Robinson flew to Indianapolis, where he met his parents on Sunday and spent Monday touring Indiana University.

By the end of the one-day visit, the Paul VI Catholic junior swingman knew where he wanted to go to college.

“I’ve been going through the recruiting process for the last couple years now and I felt like it was time to come up with a decision,” said the 6-foot-3 Robinson, a second-team All-Met who averaged a team-leading 13.5 points this past season as the Panthers went 35-3 and finished as the Washington area’s top-ranked team.

“My final three were Indiana, Villanova and Rutgers. When I was sitting down thinking about everything, I came out with Indiana being the right fit for me 100 percent.”

Robinson said he and Hoosiers Coach Tom Crean hit it off during his campus visit. Additionally, he was comfortable with Indiana’s new assistant coach Kenny Johnson, who previously was a Paul VI assistant coach during Johnson’s first two years of high school and during his under-16 season with the Team Takeover travel team. Johnson was an assistant coach at Towson this past season.

“With Coach Johnson being there, it added on,” Robinson said. “It was the icing on the cake.”

Robinson said he is friendly with the two Washington area natives already on the Indiana roster: DeMatha graduate Victor Oladipo and former Oxon Hill standout Maurice Creek.

Gar-Field junior guard Zach Fong, a key cog on the team that went 26-2 last season and won the Virginia AAA Northwest Region title, committed Monday morning to play at Navy.

Fong took an unofficial visit to Annapolis on Thursday, got offered while there and pondered the decision over the weekend, Gar-Field Coach Andy Gray said.

“They had been to see him play this year and had been following his progress,” Gray said. “We didn’t expect it this soon. But they felt confident enough, so they made the offer.”
