SAGE Tolentino and Cholo Anonuevo have both received offers to play for Tennessee State University.
The young guns shared the news on Monday on their Instagram account as Tigers coach Penny Collins personally reached out to them.
Tennessee State went 9-9 in the Ohio Valley Conference last season and had an overall record of 18-15.
The Tigers produced several NBA talents, including current Houston Rockets forward Robert Covington.
Tolentino and Anonuevo are both signed with East West Private, the same firm handling NBA G League-bound Kai Sotto, and are currently training in Ohio.
Kentucky, Kansas, and Auburn have previously made their pitch to the 16-year-old, 7-foot Tolentino.
Tolentino averaged 13.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks last season to lead Maryknoll High School to back-to-back State Championships in Hawaii.
On the other hand, this was the first offer the Ireland-born Anonuevo received since he went to the US.
The 6-foot-4 forward has committed to Far Eastern University after a stellar run in the UAAP juniors division, where he garnered 9.1 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 2.1 steals for the Baby Tamaraws last UAAP Season 82.
