Nassir Little, the 6-foot-7 small forward from Orlando Christian (FL) Prep, has now set official visits to all five of his remaining schools: Miami, Arizona, Duke, Georgia Tech, and North Carolina.
Little has set visits to Georgia Tech (Aug. 25-27), North Carolina (Sept. 8-10), Miami (Sept. 15-16), Arizona (Oct. 20-22) and Duke (Nov. 10-12).
According to 247Sports, Little is ranked as the No. 23 overall player in the Class of 2018 and the No. 5 player from the state of Florida.
Playing with 1Family on the Adidas Gauntlett this summer, Little averaged 18 points per game.
He broke down all five schools for Rivals.com:
Georgia Tech: “I like their personalities as coaches. I’ve been in touch with them for a long time. I’ve always had a really good relationship with them. It’s relatively close to home. I just like the feel there.”
North Carolina: “It’s just been one of those schools I always watched growing up. My dad’s a Carolina fan. They just won the national championship. I had them winning that before the season. They have just always been a school I like to watch.”
Miami: “I feel like I have a great opportunity to play early there. I connect really well with Coach [Jim] Larranaga. I really like the campus. The school is smaller like my school and that would help me focus.”
Arizona: “For a program with that prestige that has been as dominant as they have to show that much attention really says a lot to me. I love the comparison of me to Stanley Johnson because he was a one-and-done, top 10 pick. He’s done that with my position multiple times, so that’s something really stood out to me.”
Duke: “Coach K is another one of those legendary coaches. They have a great history. My favorite player from last year was Jayson Tatum and he went there, and a few years ago Justice Winslow was my favorite player on their championship team. They’ve put a lot of players in the League recently, especially at my position, so that’s something I look into.”
Little also told Rivals he hopes to sign during the early period in November.
“That’s still the plan,” Little said. “There is a chance I do a little bit earlier, but I’m not really sure. I decided to take my visits earlier because the way my school is set up, I didn’t want to miss stuff later in the year, and the possibility of playing in the McDonald’s All-American and the Jordan Brand Classic. I wanted to take my visits in the first semester.”
