Jayson Tatum Could Announce ‘Any Day Now’

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. — Jayson Tatum could pull the trigger on a college announcement at any time.

The 6-foot-8 guard from St. Louis (MO) Chaminade said it could happen “any day now,” according to Ben Roberts of NextsCats.

Asked if he could announce this weekend at Peach Jam, he said, “I just don’t know. It could happen.”

Tatum is down to Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina and St. Louis.

He was coming off a 26-point, 11-rebound performance in the St. Louis Eagles 78-64 victory over California Supreme. He is averaging 27.5 points and 11.5 rebounds in two games here after winning a gold medal with the US U19 team in Greece.
