Troy Williams, a top-20 recruit, has cut his list of possible college destinations to Kentucky and North Carolina.

“They’re both good schools,” Williams said. “They’re like the top two programs out there right now, so it’s going to be a hard decision. But it will come down to which coach I like the best.”

Williams is the nephew of amateur-circuit basketball legend Boo Williams, who has ties to both finalists.

“Kentucky plays a fast pace and coach (Calipari) is a good friend of my uncle’s,” Williams said.

Williams said he gets along with North Carolina coach Roy Williams “and some of the players came from my uncle’s team. They get up and down, too, and have a lot of dunks.”

Amile Jefferson hopes to make his final decision by next week.

“It’s been tough,” Jefferson said. “We’re trying to set a date now. Hopefully by next week, I can finally make a decision…I need that comfort level, when I just know.”

Jefferson is considering Kentucky, Duke, Ohio State, North Carolina State and Villanova.

Mislav Brzoja is expected to visit Kentucky this week.

Brzoja is being recruited by Ohio U., Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Rhode Island, Utah and Bradley.

The 6-foot-6 guard started for Croatia's U19 national team last summer, which upset the United States.

James Young, a top-10 prospect in the class of 2013, hopes to be recruited by Kentucky.

“Kentucky would be No. 1,” said Young, who is considering offers from Michigan State, Michigan and Providence, among others. “That’s where I want to go. They would be on top of my list right now. I’ve only talked to (John) Calipari one or two times, but I hope to talk to him a lot more in the future.”

Young believes his style of play is suited to the Wildcats.

“I could definitely see myself playing in that program,” Young said. “I like how they get up and down the floor and move the ball.”

Andrew and Aaron Harrison, top-5 prospects class of 2013, are considering Kentucky, Villanova, Maryland and Baylor.

“Our lists are still open,” Andrew said. “We have a top four, but that doesn’t mean another school can’t come up.”

Both will attend the same college.

“We’re definitely a package deal,” said Aaron. “One-hundred percent.”

Nerlens Noel has high aspirations for his freshman season at Kentucky.

“My goals for next year are to win a national title first and foremost,” Noel wrote in his ESPN blog. “Then I want to beat Anthony Davis’ shot block record, and I want to win National Player of the Year. I definitely plan to put the work in to accomplish those goals.”

Noel recently received validation from Davis.

"I can’t block with my left hand like he blocks ’em," Davis said. "He can block with either hand. I kind of tip it with my left hand. The only difference is he likes to throw them into the crowd, and I like to keep it in play. But I’m pretty sure they’ll change that here, though."

Davis shattered the Kentucky mark for blocks in a single season, finishing with an NCAA freshman record 186.

Jabari Parker wants to narrow his extensive list to a final five later this spring. Parker is considering offers from Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, North Carolina and Illinois, among others.

The 6-foot-8 forward led Chicago Simeon High to 33-1 record and a third straight state championship this past season.

He has one more state title than Simeon alum Derrick Rose, with one season to go.

"He's good, a polished player to be so young," says Rose, who gets to keep an eye on Parker while he leads his hometown Chicago Bulls. "Has the will to win, and that's all you need."

Anthony Bennett, a top-10 recruit, cut his list of possible college destinations to Florida, Kentucky, Oregon and UNLV.

“He’s definitely taken Washington off the list,” Mike George of CIA Bounce confirmed. “He’s down to four.”

Bennett plans to soon eliminate another school from consideration.

“He’ll take another [school] off by next week,” George said. “He’s only gonna’ visit three schools.”

Troy Williams has trimmed his list of schools to Kentucky and North Carolina.

Williams, one of the top 10 prospects in the class of 2013, elevated Georgetown from consideration.

“Georgetown was dropped because they didn’t play my style. They didn’t keep in touch as much as Kentucky and North Carolina,” Williams said.

The 6-foot-6 swingman plans to decide in the next month and a half.

“I have no clue as far as a decision yet, but I know it will be between now and May,” Williams said.

Anthony Davis believes Kentucky’s incoming class is talented enough to win a national championship.

"Most definitely,” said Davis, when asked if the future Wildcats could be as good as the reigning NCAA champs. “It's a great recruiting season."

Davis tipped his cap to No.1 recruit Nerlens Noel.

"A great shot blocker," said Davis, who led the country in blocks per game. "I think he's better than me."
