With offers from all of the schools except for Duke, King has already visited all of these schools except for Gonzaga. He plans to make that visit after the season, and then choose a school shortly after that.
As to how he feels about his top three schools, King had these comments.
"I like the way the Duke coaches interact with the players and the way they run their program," he said. "It is also a very good academic school.
"Villanova is a great school. They also have a great system for me. The small college atmosphere there is very attractive.
"North Carolina has a great head coach and staff. I like their style of play, and I think it fits me well."
