Julius Randle, the top power forward in the Class of 2013, has “cut” his list to 10 schools.
Randle is down to Texas, Kansas, Baylor, North Carolina, Duke, Kentucky, Florida, N.C. State, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.
The news was first reported by Eric Bossi of Rivals, and confirmed by Randle in a text message.
Speaking by phone last week from the Elite 24 game, where he won the Dunk Contest, Randle told SNY.tv he would likely sign in the spring.
“I think the spring is a better decision for me, but I’m not going to rule out the fall,” he said.
What’s the advantage of the spring?
“Pretty much the players and you can see the head coaches,” he said. “It will give me another chance to study their systems. I haven’t really studied systems since I’ve been recruited, but it gives me a chance to really look at the coaches.”
