THE LATEST: The Texas Tech Red Raiders got the ball rolling with the first offer and California and Mississippi State were quick to follow. Since then he has added Kansas, New Mexico, Dartmouth, and most recently Houston.
IN HIS WORDS: On seeing the recent surge in offers: "It's been crazy, just awesome. Coaches coming in every day and talking to me and getting a bunch of offers. It's kind of what I've been working for."
On where coaches are projecting him: "A lot of the coaches are saying they like my versatility and that I can play all five because my arms are a little longer than most guards. But for the most part guard and center."
WHAT'S NEXT: In addition to his offers, several college programs are showing significant interest. BYU and Cincinnati appear to be close to extending offers and SMU and Texas A&M are also watching him close. He is not in a hurry to make a decision. His current plans are to wait until the spring-summer to make his decision.
