Zion Williamson, the No. 2 ranked player in 2018 per ESPN.com, will visit Kentucky, Duke and UCLA across the next three weeks following his appearance this weekend at the USA Basketball minicamp in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Still, Williamson says not to count out home state schools Clemson or South Carolina in his recruitment.
“No, you should not count out Clemson or South Carolina,” Williamson told Krysten Peek of Rivals.com in Colorado. “They’re showing me a lot of love and I like the messages they’re giving me.”
He has already visited Clemson, where his stepfather Lee Anderson played.

Here’s a look ahead to this weekend’s recruiting visits:
**Kansas hosts 2018 recruits Zion Williamson, and recent commit David McCormack for “Late Night in the Phog” this weekend (Sept. 30). They will also host 2019’s Malik Hall, N’faly Dante, Zach Harvey, Samuell Williamson, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, and James Wiseman, per sources.
**Villanova hosts the 2019 duo of Bryan Antoine and Scottie Lewis for their unofficial visits. Antoine and Lewis spoke with ZAGSBLOG earlier this year about the possibility of a package deal.
**Rutgers hosts a trio of 2018 commits in Mac McClung, Ron Harper Jr., and Montez Mathis for their official visits during Midnight Madness (Sept. 29). Mamadou Doucoure, who will not be visiting this weekend, helps make up the Scarlett Knights 2018 class, which is ranked by Scout as the No. 20 recruiting class in 2018.
**Anthony Nelson, the 6-foot-4, 175-pound Class of 2018 point guard from the NY Lightning and South Kent (CT), will visit Seton Hall this weekend after tripping to Dayton last weekend. He hits Clemson next weekend.
