    By MATT WHITFIELD

    CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Naz Reid cut his list to seven schools this week: Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, LSU, Seton Hall, and UCLA.

    On Wednesday at the NBAPA Top 100 Camp, the 6-foot-10 big man from Roselle (N.J.) Catholic and the Sports U AAU program, discussed what led to the cut.

    “Those schools are the ones that have been contacting me,” he said. “I feel like those schools could be like home. I feel like the culture around those schools is a family culture. I feel like I could be successful at any one of those schools.

    Reid said he hoped to visit most of the schools on the list. He’s been to Seton Hall several times, and took a trip to UCLA after a recent AAU stop  in Los Angeles.

    Moses Brown, the 7-foot-1 junior big man from Archbishop Molloy and the New Heights AAU program, is considering cutting his list later this summer.

    Brown is ranked No. 6 in the 2018 ESPN 60 and is being recruited by a Who’s Who of Division 1 programs.

    “When the live periods are over, I will think about cutting my school list down before the high school season starts,” he told Rivals.com at the Pangos All-American Camp.

    Recruiting, Roselle Catholic

    Naz Reid, the 6-foot-10 Class of 2018 big man from Sports U and Roselle (N.J.) Catholic, has cut his list to seven schools.

    The No. 11-ranked player in the 2018 ESPN 60, Reid now lists Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, LSU, Seton Hall and UCLA. He cut North Carolina, Rutgers and UConn from his previous list of 10 after previously cutting St. John’s.

    “His recruitment is just really starting to get to a point where he’s got to start  making some decisions on a bunch of different things and really start to look at this seriously,” RC head coach Dave Boff said recently on The 4 Quarters Podcast.

    Kentucky, Recruiting

    When the list of participants for the upcoming USA Basketball U19 World Cup Team training camp came out on Thursday, five were current high school players.

    Bol Bol, Louis King, Romeo Langford, Cam Reddish and Immanuel Quickley are the five rising seniors among the 28 players invited.

    Four of those five players — everyone except King out of Hudson (N.J.) Catholic — hold scholarship offers from Kentucky in the Class of 2018. Kentucky has high interest in the 6-foot-8 King but has yet to offer.

    The 6-4 Quickley was the first point guard from that class to receive a Kentucky offer.

    Of the seven players with reported offers from Kentucky in the Class of 2018, four of them will be at the U19 trials. Langford is ranked No. 3 in the Class of 2018 by ESPN.com, while Reddish is No. 4, Quickley is No. 12, King is No. 37 and Bol is No. 40.

    The team, of course, is coached by Kentucky’s John Calipari, who will now have access to these players during the tryouts June 18-20 in Colorado Springs, Colo., and to whoever makes the team for the World Championship in Cairo, Egypt July 1-9.
