No. 1 ranked RJ Barrett set his five official visit dates and Michigan will receive his final official visit on September 29th.
Barrett announced the news on a blog for USA Today:
I’m really focusing on this process and getting my visits in right now because I don’t want to prolong anything because I know the teams, coaches and their style of play. That’s why I’ve got the visits back-to-back like this because I want to have a decision by November. I plan on signing during the Early Signing Period.
I’ve talked to Steve Nash a little bit and I’ve talked to teammates that I’ve had in the past that have gone through this process and I just want to be able to focus on school and basketball during the season.
This is a big decision so I am taking it very seriously.
I am definitely excited to get to the campuses and just see what the schools have to offer. I won’t say I’m looking for one thing in particular, each school has their strong points.
Barrett will also take official visits to Kentucky (Sept. 1), Duke (Sept. 15), Arizona (Sept. 21) and Oregon (Sept. 23). Michigan will receive his last official visit, but it also falls on a weekend without a home football game.
