Julius Randle cuts Duke and UNC from his final six

Posted Oct 2, 2012
Three weeks ago during his in-home visits, Julius Randle received what he called “some of the best advice” he’s gotten since his recruiting process started. North Carolina coach Roy Williams told Randle, a forward at Prestonwood Christian (Plano, Texas), “to be upfront with the schools” that he’s not considering as strongly “so they can move on.” On Tuesday afternoon, Randle, the top-ranked player in the Rivals150, took that advice and named his top six schools: Kentucky, N.C. State, Florida, Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma. (USA Today)
