Quincy Miller and Deuce Bello are back from their weekend trip to Baylor and have more visits planned.

The 6-foot-9 1/2, 190-pound Miller, the No. 1 power forward in the Class of 2011, now has a top four schools.

“I narrowed it down to four — Baylor, Duke, Louisville and Oklahoma,” Miller said Wednesday by phone.

Asked if he had any favorites, Miller replied: “Baylor and Louisville are slightly in the lead and Duke is right behind and then Oklahoma.” (more…)

Ky Madden is down to three schools and will announce at 10:30 Wednesday morning.

The 6-foot-5, 175-pound Madden out of Arkansas East Poinsett County is considering Baylor, Ole Miss and Arkansas, he said by text.

He cancelled planned visits to Oklahoma State and UConn.

“Really right now I’m liking Arkansas, Ole Miss and Baylor,” he said last week. “Those are the only schools I’ve been able to look at. I like Oklahoma State and UConn but I really haven’t seen them for myself.”

Having alreday taken officials to Baylor and Arkansas, Ky Madden has plans to hit Ole Miss (Sept. 24), Oklahoma State (Sept. 30) and UConn (Oct. 8 ) before making a decision.

He has already visited Ole Miss unofficially.

“Really right now I’m liking Arkansas, Ole Miss and Baylor,” the 6-foot-5, 175-pound Madden out of Arkansas East Poinsett County said by phone. “Those are the only schools I’ve been able to look at. I like Oklahoma State and UConn but I really haven’t seen them for myself.”

This past weekend, the No. 6 point guard in the Class of 2011 tripped to Arkansas. (more…)

LeBryan Nash is considering four schools but says one is the team to beat.

“Oklahoma State might have a slight lead over everybody and they might be the school to beat,” the 6-foot-7, 227-pound small forward from Dallas Lincoln said Saturday night by phone.

Nash is also mulling Baylor, Kansas and Arizona and has officials set to Arizona Sept. 24 and Kansas Oct. 15.

He recently tripped to Baylor and said he’s been to Oklahoma State — about three hours from his home — approximately half a dozen times.

“Arizona might be matched up with Oklahoma State,” he said. “They might be if everything goes well on the visit.” (more…)

A parade of high-profile recruits is rolling through the Baylor campus for official visits, and point guard Ky Madden and small forward LeBryan Nash were the latest to visit this past weekend.

“It was great,” Jerome Madden, Ky’s father, said in a phone interview. “I liked pretty much everything, the camaraderie of the players. Just the whole visit.”

Asked how Madden and Nash got along, Jerome said, “They had a good rapport.” (more…)

**UPDATED**

So two minutes after I posted the D’Angelo Harrison blog, Terrell Henderson of the Franchize All-Stars called me back.

He confirmed that four schools are still in the mix for the 6-foot-3, 190-pound shooting guard from Dulles (Texas) Fort Bend: Baylor, Marquette, Oklahoma State and St. John’s.

No official visits have yet been set, and Harrison has had one home visit with Marquette last week. (more…)

Deuce Bello confirmed that he and Westchester (N.C.) Country Day School teammate Quincy Miller will take an official visit to Baylor.

“Yes, we go Oct. 2,” Bello said by text.

The two players had a home visit last week with Baylor coach Scott Drew that Bello said was “good.”

The 6-foot-3 Bello and the 6-9 Miller both tripped to Louisville last weekend and enjoyed it.

Bello said he’s also considering Maryland, Miami, Florida State, Oklahoma State, Wake Forest and Clemson. (more…)

JaKarr Sampson enjoyed his unofficial visit to Tennessee Wednesday and is now considering four schools.

“He’s considering Tennessee, Baylor, St. John’s and he’s still looking at Kansas,” Don Anderson, Sampson’s AAU coach, said Thursday by phone. “Four schools pretty much.”

The No. 12 small forward in the Class of 2011 out of Akron, Ohio, Sampson is due to register at Brewster (N.H.) Academy Saturday. He will join a loaded team under coach Jason Smith that also features Naadir Tharpe, Elijah Carter and Markus Kennedy. Carter is on an unofficial today (Thursday) to Seton Hall.

Anderson said the 6-foot-8, 193-pound Sampson had hoped to take another swing through St. John’s Friday en route to Brewster but doubts it can happen. (more…)

Two of the top point guards in the Class of 2011 have set their visits and are driving toward a decision.

Jabarie Hinds of Mount Vernon (N.Y.) High will take officials to UNLV (Sept. 17), Oklahoma State (Sept. 24) and West Virginia (Oct. 14).

The 6-foot-1, 175-pound Hinds has home visits Thursday with Oklahoma State and Friday with UNLV.

He said UConn and UCLA have both offered and he may still have in-home visits with those schools.

“UConn is trying to work something out also,” he said. (more…)
