    Brunson visited Illinois and then Villanova over the past two weekends.

    “These are two great schools, two great basketball coaches,” Rick Brunson, Jalen’s father, told Joe Henrickesen. “We had two great experiences on those two visits. Both coaches will be in one more time on Tuesday.”

    Malik NewmanBy CHIP MILLER

    Coveted 2015 guard Malik Newman has set four in-home visits and one official visit, according to the Clarion-Ledger and SNY.tv sources.

    Newman, ranked No. 3 in the 247Sports 2015 Composite Player Rankings, has yet to trim his list, but is expected to announce a final five before the start of his senior season.

    But before then, Newman will host four in-home visits with some of the biggest names in college basketball. Both Kansas’s Bill Self and Kentucky’s John Calipari will conduct an in-home on Sept. 9, followed the next day by both N.C. State’s Mark Gottfried and UConn’s Kevin Ollie, as the reigning national champion Huskies will conduct their second in-home with the star guard.

    UConn also remains in the hunt for 6-10 Milwaukee Dominican big man Diamond Stone, who has talked of a potential package deal with Newman, his teammate on the USA U17 World Championship team.
