The 6-foot-7 swingman from Lilburn (Ga.) Berkmar who happens to be Kansas State’s No. 1 priority for ‘08 has added a school to his list — which is now at 11 — but also subtracted one.
Yep, Kansas is now after Witherspoon.
“They want me to come in and play, that’s what they told me,” Witherspoon said. “They’re pretty much the same as everyone else.”
Don’t despair, though, K-State fans. Frank Martin and Dalonte Hill are on the case. According to Witherspoon, Martin and Hill will be conducting an in-home visit with Witherspoon either Monday — the first day of the open period — or Thursday.
“They asked me if they could be the first ones to come visit me,” said Witherspoon, who said a trip to Manhattan will definitely be one of his official visits.
A school that won’t be visiting Witherspoon any longer is North Carolina. The Tar Heels have pulled out of the running.
“They called me and said they didn’t think I was the right guy for their program,” Witherspoon said.
But what if UNC changes its mind during the late period, which is when he plans to sign?
“I’m past that stage,” Witherspoon said. “It wouldn’t matter.”
