    Cole Anthony, the 6-foot-3 point guard from Oak Hill Academy (VA), has cut his list to six schools.

    Anthony is down to North Carolina, Georgetown, Oregon, Miami, Wake Forest and Notre Dame. Duke and Kentucky were among the schools on his previous list that didn’t make the cut.

    Anthony has taken officials to Oregon, Notre Dame and North Carolina, and unofficials to several schools, including Wake Forest and Miami.

    Anthony averaged  26.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 3.5 assists for the PSA Cardinals during the Nike EYBL regular season.

    In June, Anthony helped lead the USA U18 team to a gold medal at the FIBA U18 Americas Championship in Ontario, averaging 14.3 points and 4.2 assists.

    “He’s tough, he can really shoot the basketball, he can score,” Kansas and U18 coach Bill Self said. “He can certainly make plays for himself in the paint and I think he’s really getting better and trying to make plays for others, too. He was really close to having a lot of assists in the second half and for whatever reason, he was just a little bit off. But I think he’s really trying to be aggressive and still be a point guard. I think he’s got a pretty good balance of that.”
