    Here’s a look towards this weekend’s recruiting visits and other news. 

    **Nick Richards, the 6-foot-11 big man from St. Patrick’s (N.J.) High School, will take his first official visit to Kentucky this weekend before heading to Arizona next weekend. He’s also considering Syracuse, UConn and Indiana.

    **Hamidou Diallo, the 6-6 shooting guard from Putnam (CT) Science Academy, is taking an unofficial to Syracuse, as reported here.

    **Quade Green, the 6-1 point guard from Neumann-Goretti (PA), is also visiting Syracuse, per Mike Waters of the Post-Standard. Green is also considering Kentucky and Duke, among others.

    **Trevon Duval, the 6-3 point guard from IMG (FL) Academy, will visit Kansas this weekend for “Late Night in the Phog.” Duval has not planned any official visits yet and is down to nine schools including Kansas, Maryland, Villanova, and Oregon, among others.

    Arizona, Recruiting

    Following a home visit Wednesday with Arizona head coach Sean Miller and assistant Book Richardson, Nick Richards will take an official visit to the Pac-12 school the weekend of Oct. 7, sources said.

    The Arizona visit will mark the second official for the St. Patrick’s (N.J.) big man after he takes his first to Kentucky this coming weekend.

    “Yeah, Book keeps it real with me,” Richards, a native of Jamaica who has only been playing organized ball for about four years, told me last month of the Arizona assistant from New York. “He’s probably the only coach out of all of them that keeps it the most real with me.”

    Recruiting

    Jamir Moultrie, a Class of 2017 point guard out of District Heights (MD) Bishop McNamara, is focusing on three schools and is targeting a decision next month, his father said.

    The 6-foot-1, 175-pound Moultrie is focusing on Georgia, La Salle and Monmouth, where he took an official visit this past weekend, and could decide soon after his Oct. 14 official visit to Georgia.

    “That’s their homecoming weekend so we’ll go down and visit for that and hopefully not too long after that we’ll make a decision,” Jeran Moultrie said by phone. “Things kind of boil down right now to La Salle, Monmouth and Georgia.”

    Moultrie visited Monmouth officially this past weekend. The Hawks are in the market for a point guard after St. Anthony’s senior R.J. Cole surprised many by picking Howard over Monmouth.

    Recruiting

    Here’s a quick update on some college announcements:

    **Dre Perry, a 6-6 small forward from Baltimore Polytechnic (MD), will announce Friday at 6 p.m. between Temple, Kansas State and Virginia Tech.

    **Andre Rafus, the 6-9 small forward from Baltimore (MD) Lake Clifton, said he will “delay” his decision after initially planning to announce on Friday between Seton Hall, Kansas, TCU and Georgetown.

    Oak Hill Academy, Recruiting

    Billy Preston, the 6-foot-10 Class of 2017 forward from Oak Hill Academy (VA), has opted to open up his recruitment.

    Preston had been focusing on Kansas, USC and Maryland, and he’s slated to take an official visit to Kansas this weekend for “Late Night in the Phog.”

    “After talking with my family and starting my senior year at Oak Hill Academy, I have decided to open my recruitment up and explore what schools would best fit for me as a student-athlete,” Preston said. “I am looking forward to taking official visits and have no time table for making my final decision.”

    Indiana head coach Tom Crean was in recently to see Preston, as was Kentucky assistant Kenny Payne. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim is expected on Monday.
