Eggleston done taking visits

Having taken three official visits, Jack Eggleston is nearing a final decision about his future. The 6-foot-8, 210-pound power forward from St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., spent the weekend touring the Pennsylvania campus. According to Eggleston, it's only a matter of time before a decision is made.

"My visit to Pennsylvania was very good," said Eggleston. "It was actually great. I went and saw some classes, watched the team practice and met with some academic advisors. There were three other players on visits with me, so we all had a great time.

"There wasn't as much one-on-one time with the coaching staff, but I found a way to spend time with them," he added. "Some of the guys left during the football game, but I stayed and talking to the coaching staff. We had a great conversation and they want me to play at Pennsylvania."

Throughout the recruiting process, Eggleston has received interest from the likes of American, Lafayette, Pennsylvania, Stanford, Wake Forest, Florida Atlantic, Furman, Lehigh, Old Dominion, William & Mary, Columbia and Princeton.

Now that Eggleston has taken official visits to American, Lafayette and Pennsylvania, he is closing in on making a decision about his future.

"Right now, I am going to have a lot of different conversations with a lot of different people," said Eggleston. "I am going to get a lot of different opinions. I just spoke to my dad about the decision making process.

"I am going to call my AAU coach and will talk to some other family members," he added. "I need to talk to people that now my game and I need to talk to people that will give me an objective opinion. After I talk to those people, I will probably be ready to decide on a school."
