Cliff Alexander Cuts to 4

Chicago Curie big man Cliff Alexander is down to four schools.

The 6-foot-9 Alexander cut Michigan State and is now considering Illinois, DePaul, Kansas and Memphis in “no order,” he Tweeted.

That news is not surprising given that he didn’t plan to take another visit to Michigan State, as first reported by SNY.tv.

Alexander will announce Nov. 15 on ESPNU.

He took his last official to Illinois last weekend and enjoyed it. He has also visited DePaul, Kansas and Memphis officially.

Coaches from Illinois and Memphis visited Alexander this week, and his mother said Kansas may still come in.
