Rondae Jefferson Cuts List To Seven

Rondae Jefferson, one of the top players in the Class of 2013, has cut his list to seven schools.

The 6-foot-7 Jefferson, out of Chester (Pa.), is considering Arizona, Texas, Florida, Memphis, Temple, Rutgers and Syracuse.

Jefferson’s older brother, Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson, is a junior forward at Temple.

The news was first reported by ESPN.com.

Jefferson cut his list in part because he’s tired of the non-stop phone calls and texts from college coaches.

“It’s non-stop phone calls, and nobody wants to go through that,” he told ESPN.com. “I just want to enjoy basketball.”
