Fresh off a visit to Providence, Lincoln forward James Padgett has a list of six favorite schools.
“Right now the schools that are still in it are West Virginia, Pitt, Maryland, South Carolina, Providence and St. John’s,” the 6-foot-8, 220-pound Padgett said by phone.
Padgett, a senior from Brooklyn Lincoln High who plays alongside Lance Stephenson on the three-time PSAL champion Railsplitters, took an unofficial to Providence on Sunday with his mother and said he enjoyed it.
“It was pretty cool,” he said. “The new arena is pretty cool. We talked and then they showed us the school. They like that I’m self motivated. (I can be) a big impact low-post player.”
Padgett has already visited St. John’s unofficially and said he will visit South Carolina, Maryland, West Virginia and Pitt unofficially next week.
He plans to decide “by late October or early November.”
