The recruiting process is beginning to pick up steam with a Big 12 program leading the way.
"I just recently received my first letter in the mail. It came to my house," Mack said. "K-state invited me to their camp. April 9 I think that's where it was so that's where I'll be going."
Mack plans to stay in touch with the Wildcat coaches, and this summer he plans to hit the college camp circuit.

It is still very early in the recruiting process and is still taking in all options. However, he did admit growing up one program had his attention.
"I really liked Tulsa," Mack said. "Just the atmosphere. It's so big. Here in the next month I'm going to take a visit up there. I like it."
