Julius Randle will have nine in-home visits over a two-week period beginning on September 9th.

Both N.C. State and Kentucky will visit Randle on the first day. North Carolina, Duke and Kansas will visit on September 10th, 11th and 12th respectively. Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Florida will visit one week later.

“We want to give everyone a fair chance because these are the final schools that made his top 10,” Randle's mother Carolyn Kyles said. “We want to give all of them a fair chance to present their school, what they have to offer, what they have to offer Julius as far as helping him improve his skills and get him to the next level on the court and off the court, who is the best coach for him to get him there and continue to instill the values that I have all these years off the court.

Dwayne Morgan took an unofficial visit to Maryland last weekend.

“It was a really good visit. I like the school. I’m keeping my options open, but I really like Maryland. I still have a lot of time to make a decision, but it did make me look more at Maryland,” Morgan said. “I’ll be back for a football game and a couple of times during basketball.”

Morgan, a 6-foot-7 forward who is ranked No. 16 in the class of 2014, will take a trip to North Carolina this weekend.

“Academics are going to be a big part. The books are going to have to be straight for me to get on that court,” Morgan said.

Karl Towns Jr., the No. 1 ranked player in the class of 2015, took unofficial visits to North Carolina, Duke and N.C. State last week.

The 6-foot-11 Towns has drawn comparisons to Dirk Nowitzki and Kevin Durant.

Wayne Selden has eliminated North Carolina from considering, trimming his list to Ohio State, Florida, UCLA, Missouri, Kansas and Syracuse.

Selden, a 6-foot-4 forward, is ranked 13th overall by ESPN.

Troy Williams will play his senior season at Oak Hill Academy, a small preparatory school located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwestern Virginia.

"Everybody talks about all the players who went there," Williams said. "I'm mainly focusing on the maturity process. You play basketball and go to school. There's no outside distractions there. Everything you need is right there.

"Really, that's all I've been doing all summer, anyway. It won't be that much different. There will be video games there. I don't go out and party and all that, anyway. It won't be that much of a change."

Williams, a top-50 recruit in the 2013 class, expects to commit on or shortly after Nov. 14, when the early signing period begins.

The 6-foot-6 forward has offers from Kentucky, North Carolina, Georgetown, Louisville, Florida and South Carolina.

Jabari Parker has no clear favorite as he makes his college decision.

Parker is considering Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, North Carolina, Michigan State, Stanford, Florida, Georgetown, BYU and DePaul.

“Hopefully in September, that’s the target date,” Sonny Parker said on Saturday. “Then, he’s going to take his visits and his trips and hopefully make his decision in the fall. If he’s not really feeling it feeling it, then wait until the spring.

“He has no No. 1 or No. 2, he doesn’t really have a favorite. I told him, ‘You have to make a decision.’ He likes pretty much all those programs. I don’t know if anyone has an advantage or disadvantage. It’s just going to come down to him being comfortable in their system where he can grow and develop and get better. He likes all the programs in his top-10 choices.”

Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke, Michigan State, Florida, Connecticut, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Georgetown, Stanford, Oregon, Butler, Xavier, Portland and Gonzaga have committed to special tournament in November of 2017 to celebrate Phil Knight's 80th birthday.

Knight, the co-founder of Nike, will turn 80 on February 24, 2018.

The two tournaments, each consisting of eight teams, will take place over four days in Portland, Oregon.

"All of these great basketball programs have been supported by Phil Knight and Nike," Michigan State AD Mark Hollis said. "His support of the programs have created scholarships and resources for these departments to excel."

Hollis said he has contacted ESPN about televising the event. ESPN vice president Burke Magnus confirmed the discussion and said that ESPN is interesting in televising it in 2017.

The best high school junior, Andrew Wiggins, would be in his senior year of college during the event should he stay in school.

Jabari Parker will likely trim his list of schools to five before the end of September.

"I don't know where anybody is getting that from," Parker's father, Sonny said. "He hasn't cut his list. Right now he's resting and sometime next month he's probably going to cut it down to five."

The top recruit is tentatively targeting a fall decision.

"He's got to get it cut down to this five and then take his visits," Parker said. "But, I told him that if he can't make up his mind that it's OK for him to go ahead and wait until the spring."

North Carolina extended a scholarship offer to Joel Berry of Lake Highland Prep in Orlando.

"I'm not favoring anyone right now. I'm just open and sitting back and taking it all in," said Berry, who spoke with Tar Heels' head coach Roy Williams last weekend. "I was pretty excited. UNC is such a great program and to be blessed to get that offer it was just a great feeling."

The 6-foot, 185-pound Berry averaged 23.4 points per game as a sophomore last season.

Berry also sports offers from Florida, Florida State, Miami, UCF, USF, Kansas, Marquette, Maryland, NC State and Ohio State.

In a poll of nearly 100 coaches, North Carolina's Roy Williams was voted as the most overrated coach in college basketball.

Williams received 23 percent of the vote.

"He's won at Kansas and UNC. But who couldn't do that ... besides Matt Doherty?" asked one coach.

Rick Barnes of Texas received 17 percent of the vote to come in second, followed by Baylor's Scott Drew with 11 percent.

Steve Lavin of St. John's, Villanova's Jay Wright, UCLA's Ben Howland, Syracuse's Jim Boeheim and Harvard's Tommy Amaker rounded out the top-eight.
