"My mom really wanted me to commit to California, but she didn't really understand the recruiting process."
Now Christopher, who has played very well this spring, is working with a short list of five schools including California.
"Along with California, I like Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky and Texas," he said. "I've already visited California and will more than likely visit the other schools.
"Texas, Arizona and Kansas were showing quite a bit of interest before I verbally committed but backed off afterwards. Kentucky has yet to show interest."
As Christopher takes his time now with his recruiting process, he will searching for a coach that can help him become a NBA player.
"I'm looking for a school with a good basketball and academic program," he said. "I also want to make an immediate impact, and I want to play for a coach that can develop me into a NBA caliber player."
As a junior last year at Mayfair High School, Christopher averaged 23 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.
