Following his weekend visit to St. John’s, God’s Gift Achiuwa plans on announcing his college choice this week.
The 6-foot-8 power forward from Erie (N.Y.) Community College is down to the Johnnies, Cincinnati and Washington.
“He’s gonna do it this week,” Erie coach Alex Nwora said Monday by phone.
“He said, ‘I don’t want any more visits. I visited enough schools and I’m going to make my decision. I’m getting fed up with all the traveling and all the phone calls.’ He wants to sit down and make a decision.”
Nwora said all three schools have a shot at Gift, who averaged 22.3 points and 11.7 rebounds.
“The kid is tough to read,” he said. “I know he likes the coaches from Washington. He likes the coaches from Cincinnati. He likes the coaches from St. John’s. St. John’s did a good job recruiting him.
“Whichever way he’s swinging I’m going to support him.”
