Visits on horizon for Dieng
Unsigned senior Gorgui Dieng of Huntington (W.V.) Prep has a couple schools at the top of his list, but he is looking forward to visiting some other schools before he signs.
Memphis, Maryland, Colorado and Marquette are on the short list for potential visits once Dieng gets his SAT score according to Huntington Prep head coach Rob Fulford.

As it stands, though, those schools will be playing catch up with Louisville and Marshall for the 6-foot-10, 210-pound post player.
"Gorgui just wants to see some other schools and make sure he is making the right decision," said Fulford. "He wants to get a taste of the college experience throughout this process.
"He is already very familiar with Marshall. He's been to nearly every home game. He's comfortable with the coaching staff and the community.
"He's also been to two Louisville games and is familiar with what they have to offer, and he has a comfort level with Coach Pitino."
Dieng will participate in the Derby Classic in Louisville, Ky., the weekend of April 10 and will get one more look at Louisville in the process.
