Posted Aug 5, 2015
Finnish star Lauri Markkanen is planning a three-visit tour. The trip starts in Utah, as he'll visit with the Utes during the weekend of October 11th. Markkanen will then fly to North Carolina for an official visit October 13th and 14th. He'll then head back west to Arizona for a visit on the 16th and 17th. The 6-foot-10, pushing 6-11, power forward entertained high major scholarship offers from a host of schools prior to narrowing his list to Arizona, UNC and Utah in early July.
