Jalen Poyser, a 6-foot-4 point guard from Canada’s Athlete Institute and CIA Bounce, is looking forward to his official visit to UNLV beginning Oct. 16.
UNLV assistant Todd Simon coached Poyser at Findlay Prep before the floor general returned home to Canada to Athlete Institute.
“I like UNLV because my old high school coach coaches there and going there I can make a big impact being a freshman,” Poyser told SNY.tv. “I’ll get great minutes, and I’ll be able to play my game.
Poyser has also taken an official to Rhode Island and an unofficial to St. Bonaventure.
“I have interest in schools like Rhody, UNLV, St. Bonaventure, Michigan and Michigan State. but right now Rhody and UNLV are the only two officials,” he said, adding that Michigan and MSU have not offered.
“I don’t have any favorites,” he added.
Poyser will consult with his father and his inner circle before making a decision.
“That’s a decision me, my dad, my high school coach and my AAU coach have to talk about,” he said.
