IN HIS OWN WORDS
ON UPCOMING VISITS
“I have Ohio State still coming up. I don’t know the date yet, but I will soon. I’m still trying to get everything straight.”
ON OKLAHOMA
“It’s a great program with a great coach. Their play style is great and it’s a style I can see myself fitting in with. They really play through their big guys.”
ON OHIO STATE
“Ohio State is a great program also. They have a great culture, and it seems like they play their young guys all the time. I like that. They run the game through them and allow them to play and grow.”
ON OTHER SCHOOLS TO WATCH
“UConn recently offered. So did Cal.”
ON UCONN
“I know they’re a great program. I know Coach Hurley. He’s coached a lot of guys similar to me, and he knows how to get them to the next level for sure.”
ON UCONN’S NATIONAL TITLE
“That definitely helps a lot when it comes to recruiting. Why wouldn’t you want to play for a winning team?
ON HOW HE DESCRIBES HIS GAME
“I would say I’m versatile ... I guess I’m a guy that can do anything you want.”

RIVALS REACTION
It’s probably a bit too early to handicap the race to land Sherrell, but official visits to Oklahoma and Ohio State are certainly good reasons to watch the Sooners and Buckeyes. Still, Sherrell is averaging 13PGG and 4.1 RPG through seven EYBL games and is attracting additional attention, so a new offer or two shaking things up isn’t out of the question. His ranking will certainly improve a little in the next refresh.
