    Wayne Selden, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard from the Tilton (N.H.) School, pulled the trigger for Kansas after visiting this weekend for “Late Night in the Phog.”

    Selden, who reclassified to the Class of 2013 from 2014, also considered Syracuse, Florida, Missouri and UCLA.

    “It is the right fit for me as a person and a player,” Selden told ESPN.com. “When we walked in the arena (for Late Night in the Phog), the roar of the crowd was insane. I was filled with excitement and to a certain extent overwhelmed.”

    For Ish Wainright, it’s two visits down and two to go.

    The 6-foot-6 wing from Montrose Christian visited Baylor this past weekend after spending the previous weekend at Ohio State.

    Next up is Texas (Oct. 19) followed by St. John’s (Oct. 26) for Wainright, who has kept a low profile by not giving many interviews during the process.

    “Ishmail is probably the most highly-recruited player we’ve had since Kevin Durant,” Montrose coach Stu Vetter told DMVElite.com. “He has offers from all over the country – some of the biggest names in basketball – and deservedly so; he’s one of the best players in the country. He’s a facilitator and makes everybody else around him better, and he’s going to be an outstanding player for us.“

    Brandon Austin visited Providence this weekend and he says head coach Ed Cooley is pitching him on becoming part of the future core of the team along with Kris Dunn and Ricky Ledo.

    “It was pretty good,” the former Penn State commit told SNY.tv Sunday night.

    “I liked the school, the community, the team, the coaching staff, all that.

    “[Coach Cooley] said I would come right in and play up and down. Give me the ball [and] try to build a team around me and Ricky Ledo and Kris Dunn.”

    Articles, Recruiting, Rutgers

    Of the six schools Tyler Roberson is considering, Rutgers is the lone school to which he will take an unofficial visit.

    As the local, in-state school, Rutgers is close enough for him to have made an unofficial visit this weekend.

    “It was fun,” the 6-foot-8 Roberson out of Roselle (N.J.) Catholic told SNY.tv Sunday.

    “I went to the Midnight Madness and that was exciting. It was fun. There was a dunk contest [won by Vincent Garrett] and they scrimmaged a little bit.”

    Roberson would be a huge get for head coach Mike Rice, who is still seeking his first commitment of the 2013 class.
