    Jarrid Famous, the 6-foot-11 center out of Westchester (N.Y.) Community College, visited South Florida this past weekend and is on the brink of cutting down his list.

    He said he plans to visit Xavier the weekend of April 10 and could decide after that.

    “I think after that I might just make my decision,” Famous said Wednesday by phone.

    He has taken official visits to Seton Hall, Missouri and South Florida and unofficials to UConn, St. John’s and Villanova. All of those schools, along with Xavier, are in the mix, he said.

    As for the South Florida visit, Famous enjoyed it.

    “The South Florida trip was good,” said Famous, the Mid-Hudson Conference and Region XV Player of the Year. “I had a good time out there. Beautiful weather. I really enjoyed myself out there. They showed me a good time. I met the coach, the players, the academic adviser.”

    He said he plans no other officials after the Xavier trip.

    “Not as of right now,” he said.
