    NEW YORK – After cutting his list to four schools a little over two weeks ago, Jawun Evans has planned to visits to two of his remaining schools in the coming weekends.

    Evans is a 6-foot 2015 point guard out of Dallas (TX) Kimball who went for a near double-double of 9 points and 10 assists as Team Liberty beat Team Freedom, 127-116, Saturday night in the 9th Annual UA Elite 24 in Brooklyn.

    The final four schools in contention for Evans’ talents are Illinois, USC, Texas and Oklahoma State.

    “Next weekend, I will be going to visit Southern Cal and the weekend after that, I’ll be taking my Illinois visit,” Evans said.

    Evans also riffed on each school and what stood out about them.

    Illinois: “It’s a great school. I have a great connection with Illinois. They’ve been on me very hard.”

    Illinois is also on the final list for Evans’ AAU teammate Elijah Thomas, who will visit that school the weekend of Sept. 19.

    Oklahoma State: “Great school. Point guard school. Really great school.”

    Texas: “Kind of the same thing. I feel like they have a good team this year and probably next year too.”

    Southern Cal: “They let you go out there and play your game. You can spread it out. There’s a lot of pick-and-roll.”
