I would like to thank all the schools that have taken time to recruit me but I will officially cut my list to 8 �� pic.twitter.com/MNMeuJW4kN

He currently has no official visits set up, Las Vegas Prospects coach Derek Thomas told SNY.tv.

When it comes time to making a decision, he’s going to put a lot of stock in personal relationships.

“I would say building a one-on-one connection with the coach [is most important],” he said earlier this month. “That’s huge for me, especially if I am going to play that point guard position. I need to know how he feels about everything and what he wants me to do.”
