It's been an eventful few days for the top players in the Class of 2014. Last Thursday, No. 1 prospect Andrew Wiggins (Thornhill, Ontario/Huntington Prep) reclassified from 2014 to 2013. On Friday, new ESPN 60 No. 1 Tyus Jones (Apple Valley, Minn./Apple Valley) talked about his new ranking and visiting both Duke and UNC.
And on Sunday night, elite junior big man Jahlil Okafor (Chicago/Whitney Young), the new No. 2 player in the ESPN 60, discussed how his recruiting was progressing and wanting to play in college with Jones.
"I have a lot of offers, and me and Tyus Jones are thinking package deal on where we will go to school," Okafor said. "That is the plan right now. The schools that are recruiting me are also recruiting him, like Kentucky, Michigan State, Ohio State, Louisville, Florida, Florida State, Duke, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Kansas, DePaul, Illinois, Northwestern, UCLA and Wisconsin. I hope I didn't forget anyone."
