Miles Bridges Cuts List to Eight

By JACK LeGWIN

Miles Bridges has cut his list to eight schools.

“My Top 8 schools in no particular order. MSU, Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana, UNC, NC State, Iowa State, Louisville,” he tweeted.

Ranked No. 7 in the Class of 2016 in the new ESPN Rankings, Bridges said in a previous interview with SNY.tv in January that there were a couple criteria he will be looking for when he has to make a decision.

“The environment, the fan base, and the style of play,” Bridges said. “Looking for a team where I can play some run and gun. Team that gets out and runs.”

At 6-foot-6, 225 pounds, Bridges is one of the best defenders in the country, and will be a difference maker immediately at any one of those 8 schools.

Bridges is currently averaging 19.9 points, and 8.8 rebounds for the Family on the EYBL Circuit this year.
