Perry Ellis has cut his list of college considerations down to four with Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky and Wichita State making the cut.

Ellis is a top-20 recruit in the 2012 class.

“These are the coaches he is most comfortable with,” Wichita Heights head coach Joe Auer said. “These are all schools that have taken the most time over the past four years to get to know Perry.”

The announcement eliminates Duke and Memphis.

Archie Goodwin has cut his list of school from 10 to eight.

“I cut Florida [and] Louisville, and Missouri is still in there, so you could say it’s eight,” Goodwin, who scored a game-high 23 points Sunday to help Team USA Midwest win the Nike Global Challenge, said Friday afternoon. “I basically just cut Florida and Louisville.”

Goodwin is now considering Arkansas, Baylor, Georgetown, Kentucky, Kansas, Memphis, Missouri and Connecticut.

Goodwin said he will not base his decision based on what others do.

“I’m not going to commit after anybody,” he said.

He added: “It just depends on if those guys are followers are not, or if they’re real cool with a guy who committed or if they play well with them, so it just depends on what goes on after that.”

Markieff Morris is being pursued by Panathinaikos to fill their spot at the power forward position.

Tony Dutt, agent for Morris, said talks with Panathinaikos are “moving along” but nothing is imminent.

Dutt said he would pursue an out clause so that Morris could return to the Suns if the lockout ends.

Brady Morningstar, former Kansas guard, likely will be playing for a professional team in Greece during the 2011-12 season.

Morningstar acknowledged Sunday that Internet reports tying him to the top league in Greece were correct.

Shabazz Muhammad appears to be in no rush to finalize his college decision. Muhammad is one of the top-3 players of the incoming class of 2012.

"I'll definitely take five visits, but I don't know about signing in the early period," Muhammad said. "If I'm unsure between two schools, I'd probably wait it out and see what school really wants me and which one to go to. If I really knew what college I was going to, I could make the decision right now."

UCLA, Duke and UNLV appear to be the current frontrunners.

Kentucky, Kansas, Texas A&M and Memphis are believed to be in the second tier.
