Since then I have been really busy with recruitment and home visits and talking to coaches.  All of the schools that I had in my top 10 are great schools and have great coaches.  

Today was the last day of my home visits.  I was originally going to cut my list to five schools but decided to keep six.

The 6-foot-4, 180-pound Matthews out of Romulus (Mich.) High also had offers from Minnesota, Iowa, Marquettte, Providence, Missouri, UConn, Xavier and Dayton, his coach, Nate Oates, told SNY.tv.

“I was real comfortable with the coaching staff and the Hurley Brothers,” Matthews told SNY.tv. “What stood out the most was that they wanted me as a point guard only. They’re telling me that they see something in me as a point guard only, and academic-wise it stood out for me, too.”
