Torin Francis Would Like To Cut List Down Soon

Torin Francis, a highly skilled 6-10, 220-pound forward from Tabor Academy in Massachusetts, told us he would like to get his list down to three schools. Currently, he is considering Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Georgetown, Boston College, Notre Dame, and Florida.

"I have to talk it over with my mom and my coach," Francis said. "It could be more than three schools. I don't know yet."

Francis said he should know soon. "I am just thinking about my visits and what they mean," Francis said. "Each school had something good to offer. But I have to make my decision based on how I would fit in at the school and how I would get along with the head coach."

Francis said he has nothing but positive feelings about each visit. "They are all great schools," Francis said. "When I took these visits I did not have one school in mind that I was thinking about committing to. This is why I took the visits. Now I just need some time to discuss it with my mom and coach."

Francis said as of today -- no school has been eliminated. "We have not called any school on that," Francis said. "They are all being considered. This is what I am doing right now...hopefully I can do it soon. I expect to do it soon."

Francis said there is a possibility that official visits could take place but only after he has cut his list down. "I first want to get it down to a small number," Francis said. "Then if I am not comfortable with making a decision I will go ahead and possibly take some visits."

In home or in school visits have not been ruled out either.
