Jahlil Okafor Cuts to 4

Jahlil Okafor has cut his list to four schools, he told Evan Daniels of Scout.com at USA Basketball in Colorado Springs, Colo.

The 6-foot-10 Chicago big man is down to Baylor, Duke, Kansas and Kentucky.

Arizona, Illinois, Michigan State and Ohio State are out.

Okafor told Daniels that he is 99 percent sure he will play with Minnesota Tyus Jones in college.

“We are going to make it happen,” Daniels quoted Jones as saying.

Since Kentucky landed a pledge from point guard Tyler Ulis and Jones cancelled his visit there, the Wildcats would seem an unlikely landing spot for both players.

The pair have already visited Baylor together and will visit Kansas the weekend of Oct. 18 and Duke the weekend of Oct. 25, along with Houston wing Justise Winslow.
