Texas: “They haven’t offered or anything yet, but they’re recruiting me. I haven’t really met the coaches yet, though.”
Kansas: “(Assistant) coach Jeremy (Case) and my dad actually played against one another and know each other. He treats me really well.”

Schools he wants to visit: “Kentucky, Duke and North Carolina.”
Dream school growing up: “Oklahoma State.”
What he’s looking for in a school: “Just the community of the school, how the students vouch for it, the players, great coaches and just a coach that will let me play my game.”
