    Victor Uyaelunmo, the 6-foot-11 Class of 2017 center from Gulliver (FL) Prep and the Florida Vipers, will trim his list of schools by the end of the summer, he told SNY.tv.

    Ranked the No. 109 player from the Class of 2017 according to 247Sports.com, holds around 15 offers, including Memphis, Illinois, Miami, Florida, Florida State, Wake Forest, Georgetown, Tennessee, and USC.

    Uyaelunmo visited Tennessee Thursday and USC on Monday. He is set to visit Pittsburgh June 28.

    “USC was really nice. It is a really good school with really good coaches.” Uyaelunmo said. “I also think that Tennessee is a really good school. They need a big man and the coaches are really good too. They were really nice to me.”

    Uyaelunmo says that he does not have a timetable yet for when he plans on committing and says that his decision will come down to how he feels about each school and what he thinks is best for himself. “It’s not based on what my family thinks.” said Uyaelunmo.

    Playing with the Florida Vipers, Uyaelunmo is averaging 7.7 points per game, along with 5.0 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game. The Florida Vipers enter the Under Armour Association Finals with a record of 9-3.
