Joseph down to seven

Elite point guard prospect Cory Joseph of Henderson (Nev.) Findlay Prep now has an official list of seven schools and three official visits on the docket.

Joseph, 6-foot-3, 180-pounds, confirmed with Rivals.com that Connecticut, Florida, Minnesota, Mississippi State, Texas, UNLV and Villanova are his seven finalists.

Already having officially visited Texas, Joseph is scheduled to visit Connecticut October 16 and then Villanova the following weekend. Minnesota gets an official visit on either October 9 or October 30.

No visit dates have been set for Florida, Mississippi State and UNLV. Being so close to his school, UNLV will likely host Joseph on an unofficial visit, leaving one potential official visit for either Florida or Mississippi State.

Joseph, who is coming off an impressive performance at the adidas Nations event, is the No. 7 ranked prospect in the Rivals150.

Cory Joseph scouting report:

Joseph is a unique point guard prospect because of the complete nature of his game. A sound decision maker with a strong will to win, Joseph also has a surprising athletic burst to go along with his high skill level. With his high level feel for the game, he transitions well from being a distributor to being a scorer. He shoots the ball much better than most point guards and is an elite defender.
