Tyus Jones and Jahlil Okafor will travel to Baylor this weekend to get a first-hand look at the campus.

Jones and Okafor, two of the top five players in the class of 2014, have indicated a desire to play together at the college level.

Baylor is one of three schools the pair will visit together. Kansas and Duke are the other two.

Kentucky, Michigan State and Kansas are considered to be the frontrunners in Cliff Alexander’s recruitment.

Alexander's girlfriend will be a freshman on the Kansas women's basketball team this season.

"They say he's going to Kansas because the girl he dates goes to Kansas," Alexander’s high school coach, Mike Oliver said. "People are always spouting rumors."

Oliver added that Alexander talks about Michigan State and Tom Izzo "all the time."

Tom Izzo is preparing to replace Gary Harris if he declares for the NBA draft after this season.

Izzo has expressed interest in James Blackmon Jr., one of the top shooting guards in the 2014 recruiting class.

"(Coach Tom Izzo) just said that Gary Harris probably will be leaving so I'll have to come in and probably fill that spot right off and I'll get a chance to showcase my skills," Blackmon said in a recent interview.

Izzo expressed his belief last month that Harris would ultimately become a top 10 draft pick.

Trevon Bluiett will take a visit to UCLA this weekend, and has plans to visit Purdue next weekend, according to a source.

Bluiett averaged 27.8 points and nine rebounds last season as a junior at Park Tudor HS in Indianapolis.

A 6-foot-6 guard, Bluiett is ranked No. 46 in the 2014 class by Rivals.

North Carolina extended a scholarship offer to Dante Exum, multiple sources confirmed.

Exum’s father played for the Tar Heels during the Michael Jordan era.

Exum also has offers from Kentucky, Indiana, SMU, Louisville, LSU and Boise State.

Mike Krzyzewski is working to secure a commitment from Myles Turner, a 6-foot-10 power forward who is considered a top-10 prospect in the 2014 class.

“I also like how Coach K talks to me,” Turner wrote in his blog. “He handles me like I'm a pro. He says things like: "Myles you're a pro and you need to carry yourself that way. You don't need to worry about all of this media, outside stuff you need to start training your mind now. Hopefully you'll only be in college for a year and head off to the NBA because I can see you there.’

“Coming from him that's big for me. It gives me even more confidence in myself.”

Turner recently cut his list of schools to eight: Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Arizona, Ohio State, Texas and Oklahoma State.

Emmanuel Mudiay will announce his college decision on Saturday.

Mudiay, the nation’s top-ranked point guard, is expected to choose SMU over Kentucky, Baylor and Oklahoma State.

"This thing kind of has an SMU vibe to it," Scout analyst Evan Daniels said.

Mudiay lives within an hour's drive of the SMU campus and has already visited several times.

"He's been on SMU's campus at least five or six times," Daniels said. "He's from that area. He's very close to his mother and his brother. I think SMU probably has the edge here."

Trayvon Reed will visit Maryland on Wednesday.

Reed, a 7-foot-1, 210-pound center is rated among the top ten big men in the class of 2014.

Reed is expected to commit to Maryland, joining shooting guards Dion Wiley and Melo Trimble, as well as wing shooter Jared Nickens in the Terrapins’ 2014 class.

Calbert Cheaney accepted an assistant coaching position with the University of St. Louis.

Cheaney previously spent two years at Indiana, serving as director of basketball operations under Tom Crean.

Cheaney was drafted out of Indiana in 1993 and played 13 seasons in the NBA, amassing career averages of 9.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists.

Jahlil Okafor's AAU coach, Mike Irvin, believes there is a strong chance he ends up committing to Duke.

Okafor is the consensus top player in the 2014 freshman class.

“[Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski] was at every game, he was the only head coach that was really following Jahlil all over the place,” Irvin said. “If [Cliff Alexander] was sitting out it would only be Coach K watching that game. In my mind Duke has a really good chance to land [Okafor]. Coach K has done a good job of recruiting him.”

There have been rumors that Okafor and Tyus Jones will commit to the same school.

“I think there is a great chance Tyus is going to Duke,” Irvin said. “So if [Okafor and Tyus] are going to school together..."

Okafor's father recently said that his son doesn't have a clear leader.
