James Bouknight, the 6-foot-5, 185-pound shooting guard from the MacDuffie School (MA) and the PSA Cardinals, cut his list to five on Friday after impressing high-major coaches during the last few weeks.
Bouknight, who returned just before Peach Jam from a torn meniscus suffered in January, is now down to Virginia Tech, Miami, VCU, Indiana and UConn.
He has official visits planned to Virginia Tech (Aug. 26-28), Miami (Sept. 7-9) and UConn (Sept. 14-16).
“Most of the schools recruiting me right now said I’ll come in and play right away and I’ll be an impact player so that’s mostly the schools I’m looking at,” the Brooklyn native said Wednesday by phone.
