Al-Amir Dawes, the 6-foot-2 combo guard from The Patrick School (N.J.) and the NJ Playaz, has cut his list to eight schools.
Dawes lists St. John’s, Seton Hall, UConn, Providence, TCU, Clemson, La Salle and Wichita State. He had a home visit Tuesday night with Providence coach Ed Cooley and recently visited the Big East school unofficially. On Wednesday, the staffs from UConn and Clemson met with Dawes.

An athletic combo guard who plays at the same program that produced Kyrie Irving, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Nick Richards, Dawes averaged 16.8 points, 4.0 assists and 2.9 rebounds with the Playaz on the Nike EYBL circuit.
“Al-Amir has improved his work ethic, which has translated into a outstanding spring and summer,” Patrick School coach Chris Chavannes said. “I think one of the best honors you get in the summer is to be consistently chosen as one of the top players in each of the EYBL sessions. Al has been very consistent this summer. I am very happy with his progress and improved work ethic.”
