Canadian star A.J. Lawson is expected to choose his destination on Tuesday.

The 6-foot-7 Class of 2018 wing is down to Creighton, South Carolina and Tulane, GTA Academy coach David Cooper told ZAGSBLOG. Oregon and SMU are no longer in the mix.

Lawson has now visited all three of his remaining options.

“Coach [Greg] McDermott is a great guy and the campus and style of play fits AJ pretty well,” Cooper said of Creighton.

On Tulane: “Coach [Mike] Dunleavy is a phenomenal coach and a great basketball mind. [Lawson] likes him as a coach and really likes the city.”

In the latest sign of his escalating recruitment, Jaiden Delaire met Monday in North Carolina with Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski.

Delaire is a 6-foot-9 power forward from Loomis Chaffee (CT) ranked No. 21 at his position in the Class of 2019 by 247Sports.com. He is currently in North Carolina with his NE6 AAU program, which runs on the Under Armour circuit.

“My understanding is that they’re evaluating him this summer,” Loomis Chaffee head coach Rock Battistoni said Tuesday by phone. “[Duke assistant Jon] Scheyer has been calling for a little bit. They’re going to keep an eye on him just like most staffs do with most kids.”

The meeting was first reported by Andrew Slater.
