Brandon Bass, a bruising 6-8, 234-pound power forward from Capitol High School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, told us today he is currently trying to cut his list down to about four or five schools. "I haven't done it yet," Bass said. "But I will do it soon."

Bass emerged as one of the top players at his position at the ABCD camp. He possesses a wide body and is blessed with good athleticism. He has an excellent frame and runs the floor well. Brandon is also quick off his feet.

Bass has heard from Georgetown, LSU, Mississippi State, Texas, Texas A&M, Cincinnati, Kentucky, Georgia Tech, UConn, Miami of Florida, Missouri, USC, UNLV, Illinois, and Arkansas.

Brandon averaged 18 points, 13 rebounds, and 8.5 blocks this past high school season. "I want to take my visits in the Fall," Bass said. "But I first have to get my list down. There are too many schools on my list. I want to get the list down this week."
