These lists these kids have drive me crazy but I keep telling myself it's better to be 1 of 12 on a list than to be 0 of 12!

Class of 2017 shooting guard Brandon Randolph has cut his list of schools to twelve. North Carolina, Louisville, Kansas, Syracuse, Oregon, Arizona, Indiana, Miami, Wake Forest, Xavier, Notre Dame and Alabama have made the cut. Randolph saw this as a great time to progress with the recruiting process.

“I felt like this was the best time for me to cut down my list because everything started to slow down and I was able to finally sit down with my parents and have a conversation about what options would be best for me,” he told MADE Hoops. “I knew I would cut down my list around this time because before I wanted to focus on camps and Peach Jam.”

Randolph looks to cut his list down further in the near future.

“I will be cutting down my list again very shortly, but I am not sure on the exact date or time period,” said Randolph.

The next step for the PSA Cardinals (NY) and Westtown School (PA) product is to set official visits.

“I have yet to set any official visits so I will have to have another sit down with my parents to weigh out my options,” he said.

Randolph will use three factors to determine which school is the right one for him.

“I am looking for the same things in a school as I always have,” said the class of 2017 prospect. “Good academics, a school that best fits into my style of play and a great connection with the coaching staff are all big factors for me.”

[Personal note:  If he's seriously concerned about academics then you can pretty quickly scratch a number of schools off his list!]

First OV to Cuse this weekend per my boy @PatLawless.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,509]

Cuts IU and others. Another stud. Would've been in Wilkes spot. Get Wilkes, no problem.

Brandon Randolph has narrowed his list to Arizona, Oregon, Syracuse and Wake Forest. Top 50 prospect that can score it.

When's someone going to punch our dance card other than Durham?

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Tommy and Chuck had an in-home last night per Zag.

@AdamZagoria: Indiana's Tom Crean and Chuck Martin also had a home visit with 2017 SG @brandolph902 who is down to Arizona, Syracuse, Oregon and Wake.

Either really good news or a notable waste of time and resources...Part 2!

[Class of '66 Old Fart 85,053]

Wait a minute!  What's going on here?  On September 12, he cut his list and we weren't on it.

Might be a little desperate here.

Nothing official until that Loi is signed. 18 year olds have been known to change their minds. I would guess this happens more then people realize. I remember a recruit tweeted a picture of stacks of letters from different colleges even though he was committed to a school

This is probably a sign the staff isn't confident in getting Tremont Waters now.  

[ElectricBoogaloo 4,307]

ITH article says the in-home was with Randolph's parents and not with the player. Crean trying to sell mom and dad on the program?

[HoosierRob 1,042]

Kinda looks like crean is getting desperate. Maybe it's just me

Certainly seems strange, but I've got to think there were signals from the Randolph camp that they wanted to hear more from CTC and in effect they initiated the meeting.

 

Boogaloo - I've always assumed that in-home visits were with the parents/guardians and the athlete but that could be a totally bad assumption on my part.

Not sure the connection there. Staff is confident they're not getting a sub 6' Waters at point so they go after a 6-6 SG instead? Are they pressing in case they miss on Wilkes? Do they believe there will be several early entries and a transfer or two? I'm not sure but going after talent at different positions doesn't really show a desperate plea, imo.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,509]

Always like Randolph. Seen him play a couple games. Confident shooter. athletic too. Him and Wilkes would be a phenomenal tandem.

They're both guards, that's the connection.  If we miss on Waters, the next best option is we go and get a 5* talent at another guard spot rather than take a flier on some unknown 3* PG.  We need talent regardless of position.
