The four schools named are Indiana, Arizona State, Maryland and Connecticut (Kegler also discussed the recruiting "press" currently being put on by Mississippi State).

Seventh Woods became a household name at 14 years old thanks to a ridiculous mixtape of his freshman year of high school. Now regarded as a five-star, 6-foot-1 guard, Woods is focusing on four schools. A source confirmed to NBCSports.com that Woods is looking at Florida, Georgetown, North Carolina and South Carolina.

North Carolina and South Carolina have long been thought of as the two schools to beat for Woods but the soft-spoken guard setting a list gives us more of a clear indication on where he stands at the moment. The Gators have clearly made Woods a priority as new head coach Mike White is trying to draw five-star talent to Gainesville...

2016 C James Banks recaps Texas official visit, discusses Vanderbilt | Story: http://www.scout.com/college/basketball/recruiting/story/1582603-james-banks-recaps-texas-visit-has-vandy-set ...

Next up for Banks is a trip to Vanderbilt. He's scheduled to visit the Commodores the weekend of September 12th.

"I like what they did with Damian Jones, " Banks said of Vanderbilt. "Their coaching staff has done a really good job recruiting me. They are one of the first staffs to recruit me. I'm looking forward to the visit. It's good a program and with good education."

At this point, Banks, who transferred to La Porte (Ind.) La Lumiere for his senior season, hasn't scheduled any other trips and didn't mention any other schools, but said a wide variety are still actively pursuing him. 

Banks is ranked No. 45 overall and No. 9 at the center position in the 2016 recruiting class.
