    NEW YORK — Ivan Rabb has a high and low ankle sprain and can’t play in Saturday’s Under Armour Elite 24 in Brooklyn, but he’s here supporting his teammates.

    “It’s a big bummer, but at least I get to come out here and support my guys,” Rabb told SNY.tv Thursday after practice. “I have a lot of friends and people who are here.”

    Rabb suffered the sprain the day before cuts for the USA U17 team, but he ended up making the team and winning a gold medal with the U17 team in Dubai.

    As for colleges, Rabb is considering numerous schools, including Arizona, Cal, UCLA, USC, Georgetown, North Carolina, Duke, Louisville, Kentucky and Kansas.

    He told SNY.tv he may have home visits with Kentucky, Louisville and Cal.

    As for his list of official visits, Rabb said, “I’m still trying to figure out my five. I think I want to cut my list to five before I set up my five officials.”

    Asked if any schools would definitely make the final list, he 6-foot-10 Oakland (CA) Bishop O’Dowd forward said, “I can say Cal and Kentucky will definitely be on that list.”

    He told SNY.tv at the Peach Jam that he talks with Malik Newman and Diamond Stone about possibly all joining forces in college, and mentioned Kentucky and Kansas as two possible landing spots.

    “Yeah, those two definitely,” he said again Thursday.

    Asked about the chance of the three of them joining forces, Rabb added: “It’s a really good possibility, but we’re all trying to make the best decisions for ourselves and our families. If it doesn’t work out, we’re still going to be best friends like we are right now. We’re like brothers, so I don’t think that will conflict with our friendships at all.”
