David McCormack, the 6-foot-9 center from Oak Hill (VA) Academy, may be closing in on a college decision.
After naming Kansas, Xavier, Oklahoma State, UCLA, NC State, and Duke as his final six schools, he has visited Kansas and Xavier unofficially and N.C. State officially so far.
“He had a great visit [to Kansas],” Oak Hill Academy coach Steve Smith said on The 4 Quarters Podcast. “He went unofficial to Kansas but he’s going to go back there officially. He visited N.C. State last weekend. He’s visiting Xavier, Kansas and he has visits supposedly for Duke and UCLA if gets that far. I don’t know if he’ll go past September, he’s getting kind of antsy and I think he likes a couple schools.

Moses Brown, the 7-foot-2 senior big man from Archbishop Molloy High School and the New Heights AAU program, enjoyed his weekend official visit to Louisville and will next trip to Maryland
Brown, ranked No. 17 in the 2018 ESPN 100, took his first official to Louisville with his father, Malcolm.
“It was great,” his father said Tuesday by phone. “Rick Pitino, I’ve always been a big fan of his, from my father to me to my family, from the New York Knicks to the Boston Celtics. He was really, really supportive and I really think Moses would get a lot out of being around him, not just in basketball but growing as a man.
“We had a good time, Rick Pitino showed us a lot of love.”
Malcolm said the staff also emphasized that Moses would not be limited to just playing under the basket.
“They would not limit his skills,” he said. “Due to the fact that he’s a big man, he would do more than just rebound and block shots because they see he has more tools to use and they would let him live up to everything that he’s capable of doing.”
The Browns toured the Louisville facilities during the visit.
“Yes, we took a tour of the school, it was really, really nice,” Malcolm said. “Moses was impressed, I was impressed. He was impressed with the player development plan that [Pitino] had for Moses and he thinks that he would be really successful in their program.”
