Adam Zagoria covers basketball at all levels. He is the author of two books and an award-winning journalist whose articles have appeared in ESPN The Magazine, SLAM, Sheridan Hoops, Sports Illustrated, Basketball Times and in newspapers nationwide.
After texting SNY.tv Wednesday morning that he was considering Louisville, Memphis and Maryland, Dez Wells’ recruitment turned on a dime.
The 6-foot-5 former Xavier wing reportedly visited Kentucky’s campus Wednesday.
Wells was not immediately available for comment about the visit.
Sources told SNY.tv he is slated to visit Memphis Friday and Maryland Saturday.
Dave Telep of ESPN.com Tweeted that Louisville was out of scholarships.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal reported that Wells called Memphis “a great program.”
But with Kentucky now involved, his recruitment remains in flux.
It remains unclear if Wells will be eligible to suit up this year or not.
“Idk,” he texted earlier Wednesday, shorthand for “I don’t know.”
Wells, who averaged 9.8 points last season, was expelled from Xavier Aug. 3 for a violation of the school’s code of student conduct.
Yet on Tuesday, a Hamilton County (Ohio) grand jury opted not to indict Wells on a sexual assault charge.
