No Timetable on Amile Jefferson Announcement

Amile Jefferson does not have a press conference set for Friday to announce his college choice, his high school coach told SNY.tv.

“There’s no press conference scheduled for Friday,” Jason Polykoff of Philly Friends Central said by text.

The 6-foot-7 Jefferson is considering Duke, N.C. State, Kentucky, Ohio State and Villanova.

“It’s been tough,” Jefferson told the Times Herald in Sunday’s editions. “We’re trying to set a date now. Hopefully by next week, I can finally make a decision.

“I need that comfort level, when I just know.”
