R.J. Barrett is set to announce his college choice at 6 p.m. on Nov. 10 at Lionhead Golf & Conference Centre in Brampton, Ontario. The announcement will be carried live during the 6 p.m. ET edition of Canada’s SportsCentre on TSN.
With the announcement fast approaching, college coaches are making their final pitches to him.
Duke associate head coach Jeff Capel made an early morning visit on Wednesday to see the 6-foot-7 wing from Montverde (FL) Academy, as ZAGSBLOG reported that day.
“Capel was there at 4:45 in the morning, we practiced at 4:45,” Montverde coach Kevin Boyle told ZAGSBLOG. “Duke was in the gym. Coach K came two weeks before and met with him. They’ve been several times. Duke’s worked very, very hard.”
Filip Petrusev, the 6-foot-11, 215-pound Serbian forward from Montverde (FL) Academy, is planning two more official visits.
Petrusev said he will “most likely” visit Gonzaga and Utah this coming weekend.
He has already taken official visits to Charlotte and Tennessee, and would then have one remaining. He’s also considering Arizona, Virginia and Maryland.
Kevin Boyle knows a thing or two
Filip Petrusev, the 6-foot-11, 215-pound Serbian forward from Montverde (FL) Academy, enjoyed his official visit to Tennessee last weekend and his weighing his future plans.
“The visit was great,” he said. “I’m really happy with what I have seen, great facilities, campus, coaches, bigtime basketball. They said that they need a more talented player than the ones they have who can make [an] immediate impact and play right away. That’s why they made me a No. 1 priority.”
Petrusev has also taken an official to Charlotte.
“Charlotte has a Serbian coach [Ivo Simovic] and Serbian players [Milos Supica and Luka Vasic],” he said of their appeal.
