Canadian big man Chris Egi is about to take a bunch of visits.
The 6-foot-8, 215-pound center from CIA Bounce and Montverde (FL) Academy heads to Harvard this coming weekend.
After that, Egi will visit Vanderbilt, Cal, Washington and Stanford on consecutive weekends.
Egi may pull the trigger sometime after the visits.
“Soon after my last visit,” he told SNY.tv.

Jason Terry let loose a good one at J.R. Smith’s expense.
Told by Dime Magazine that Smith guaranteed the Knicks would win this year’s NBA championship, the new Nets guard asked, “The NBA championship?”
“Right. Maybe the Rucker Park Championship. I don’t know, not the NBA championship. I don’t see how they could guarantee that, at all. I’m not buying it, so… I mean, it’s a bitter rivalry, you know it’s going to be intense, and however they feel over there in that locker room they are guaranteed and entitled to feel that way but we don’t want to see that happen on our watch.”
Josh Martin hopes to make a college decision next week.
The 6-foot-8, 230-pound power forward out of Bothell (WA) will take his last official visit to Pittsburgh beginning Thursday and then will decide between Pitt, Minnesota and Florida State.
“I really hope I can make my decision the week after my visit,’ Martin told SNY.tv Monday.

Trey Lyles didn’t announce his college choice Monday, but he did cut it down to two schools: Kentucky and Louisville.
That sets up an interesting recruiting showdown this year between old friends Rick Pitino and John Calipari.
“The closeness to home was a big deal,” Lyles told the Indy Star. “Of course, the coaches too. Both of them have won national championships and both have developed players and put them in the NBA. Going on the visits that I have to both schools, they make you feel like you are part of the family. Another big thing was the instruction the coaches give. It’s not just the assistants, but the head coaches doing a lot of the instruction.”
The former Indiana commit officially cut Florida, to which he was to take an official visit Oct. 4, and Butler from his list.
