    Class of 2017 point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has cut his list to eight schools after decommitting from Florida.

    He is now considering Kentucky, Kansas, Syracuse, Florida, N.C. State, UNLV, Oklahoma and Texas, Dwayne Washington, Alexander’s coach with UPlay Canada told ZAGSBLOG.

    Kentucky is expected to watch Alexander on Monday, while Kansas is expected in Tuesday.

    A 6-foot-5 1/2 point guard from Chattanooga (TN) Hamilton Heights Christian Academy, Alexander averaged a team-high 15.8 points and 4.8 assists for Wings Elite on the Nike EYBL circuit this year.

    “He’s a true point guard, very long, athletic, excellent shooter,” Washington told gainesville.com. “They measured his wingspan at Florida at 6-10 ½ with a 32-inch vertical leap. He’s a very unselfish kid and a good leader.”
