Leslie: Decision very soon

Submitted by timstevens on 04/28/2010 - 10:08

C.J. Leslie, one of the top high school basketball players in the country, expects to make his college decision within the next few days.

The 6-foot-8 forward at Raleigh Word of God said he would pick from among N.C. State, Kentucky and Connecticut.

"I will make my decision very, very soon," Leslie said Wednesday morning. "Probably today or tomorrow."

He said he might make an announcement on Friday.

"Right now, it's up for grabs," Leslie said. "I don't know. But it's time to make a decision. I have all the information that I need."

Leslie said his official visit to UConn last weekend went very well. He has visited N.C. State and Kentucky several times in the past.

He is ranked among the top 10 prospects by most major college basketball recruiting services. He played in the McDonald's All-America game and in the Jordan Brand all-star game.
