    NEWARK — Following a strong showing at the Nike EYBL stop in Brooklyn, Brandon Randolph picked up offers this week from Arizona, Villanova, Syracuse, Kansas, Notre Dame and DePaul.

    The 6-foot-6, 175-pound Class of 2017 shooting guard helped the PSA Cardinals go undefeated on the weekend, with coaches from all of the above schools watching him and his teammates, including Mohamed Bamba.

    Kansas also offered 6-4 Class of 2018 shooting guard Romeo Langford, according to Brian Snow of Scout.com.

    Randolph, a Yonkers, N.Y., native, saw his recruitment blow up recently as he added offers UConn, Alabama, Florida State, Louisville, Marquette, Xavier, St. John’s, Seton Hall and more.

    Xavier planned to watch Randolph on Monday at the Westtown (Pa.) School.

    A slew of big-time coaches watched the Cardinals all weekend.

    “It’s nice, it’s exciting because you get to see them on TV and then you see them live and in person,” Robin Randolph, Brandon’s mom, told SNY.tv. “It’s a nice feeling. I’m glad Brandon is not really phased by it, he’s just playing ball.

    “They’re all working equally hard, and we’re just enjoying the processs.”

    As part of its self-imposed sanctions, Louisville does not have coaches on the road in April to recruit so the staff watched Randolph and the PSA Cardinals play DeAndre Ayton and Cal Supreme on ESPN on Saturday.

    Louisville assistant Kenny Johnson reached out to Brandon’s mom.

    “He just was texting me during the game [Saturday] to say that he was watching Brandon because he’s been recruiting Brandon,” she told SNY.tv. “I guess with the self-imposed sanctions, he couldn’t come out. But he just wanted me to know that he was watching on TV.”

    She added: “I’m happy that they’re trying to get over the hump and hopefully they’lll end up having a more successful season moving forward.”
