Theo Pinson Talks Recruiting

Theo Pinson is one of the most sought after recruits in the Class of 2014.

A 6-foot-5 wing out of Wesleyan (N.C.) Christian, Pinson said he’s being courted by Duke, Carolina, Syracuse, UConn, Tennessee, Baylor and Kentucky.

Asked by FiveStarBasketball.com’s Harrison Sanford if he had a favorite, Pinson, “I don’t really have one.”

He added that he wants a program with an energetic coach similar to former Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl.

“I like really energized coaches,” he said.
