PENNINGTON, N.J. — The offers just keep rolling in for 2014 forward Chris McCullough.
“I got a lot of new offers, everything’s coming good,” the 6-foot-10 2014 forward told SNY.tv Saturday at the Mary Kline Classic. “Memphis and Kansas.”
McCullough previously held offers from North Carolina, UConn, Syracuse, Arizona, Pittsburgh, St. John’s, Villanova, Rutgers, Miami, Temple, West Virginia, Providence, Louisville, Georgetown, Florida, Seton Hall, Iowa State and Hofstra.He plans to cut his list down to five or six later on this summer, with Kansas, UConn, Syracuse and St. John’s among those likely to make the cut. Still, McCullough wanted to make it clear that UConn is not his dream school, despite recent comments attributed to him. “No, no, that wasn’t true,” he said. “That wasn’t true at all.” McCullough, who attends the Salisbury (Conn.) School, said he sees similarities between himself and 6-10 2013 forward Jermaine Lawrence, who was named MVP of the Mary Kline underclassmen game after he went for a game-best 27 points. “Yeah, I mean I grew up with him so we play the same and stuff, same coaches,” McCullough said. Lawrence has a smooth stroke from downtown and McCullough is also working on developing his outside shot to make his game more versatile. McCullough plans to attend the Kevin Durant and LeBron James Skills Academies this summer and then cut his list after July.
