By the end of the weekend we will know where 2017 five-star small forward Kevin Knox will be attending school next year.

According to Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog.com, the 6-8 Florida native will announced his decision sometime between Thursday and Sunday of this week (May 4 - May 7). It will likely depend on when ESPNU could air the announcement.



Knox is down to Duke, Florida State, Kentucky, Missouri, Florida State, and North Carolina. He took official visits to all five schools.

If he commits, cool, but I'm not counting on it. More worried about what Bradley is gonna do to be honest.

I'm with you on this. And the odd thing about it is, I don't think he's a one and done talent. Sure he could leave after one year, but he's not as "can't miss" as he's being touted. For example, if Dook lands him, he would easily be the worst of the last 3 SF to come thru there (Ingram and Tatum). He's not of that ilk. However, I won't front like I don't want the kid. He's a very big piece to what UNC can accomplish next year. I would prefer to run Theo at the 2 with Kenny coming off the bench. If we miss on him, then Theo almost certainly has to play the 3 and we lose any bench scoring that Kenny will bring cause he'd be forced to start at the 2. But like you, I'm more interested in Tony's decision than Knox's,

I'm not mad at that. I'm really high on Jalek. I was concerned that his jumper would need tweaking because his transition from set-up to release seemed to be a tick slow his junior year. But after seeing him this year and him at the Iverson Roundball (won the 3 point contest) his release his quick and smooth now. He's gonna be a problem. Seventh better show and prove, otherwise he'll get lost in the shuffle cause Coby coming in '18, and he's a problem too.
