Adama Sanogo, the 6-foot-10 big man from the Patrick School (N.J.), has cut his list to six.
The No. 7 center in the Class of 2021 per 247Sports.com, Sanogo is down to Auburn, UConn, Maryland, Nebraska, Pittsburgh and Seton Hall, per Andrew Slater.
Sanogo cut Memphis, Illinois, Louisville and Oklahoma State from his previous list of ten.
Sanogo is expected to make his decision later this spring or summer.
Sanogo recently began taking virtual visits of schools ahead of his college decision.
He took a virtual tour of Seton Hall earlier this month and did video-conferencing with the staff, a source said.
Sanogo attended several Seton Hall games this past season and Patrick School coach Chris Chavannes said the Pirates are prioritizing Sanogo, who they see as having a bigger upside than former Seton Hall star Angel Delgado, who also played at the Patrick School.
Seton Hall would love to add Sanogo after fellow former Patrick School alum Bryce Aiken, a grad transfer from Harvard announced for the Pirates on April 9.
“Their view of Adama is that they could see him having the same role and impact as Angel,” Chavannes said. “That speaks volumes when you look at the career Angel had at Seton Hall.
“Adama is further along now in his game offensively than Angel was at this stage. Adama is a very very good rebounder. Angel made rebounding an art while he was here and only got better over time. Their coaching staff have made it clear Adama is their highest priority.”
Sanogo has also done video-conferencing and a virtual tour at Nebraska.
Nebraska’s Fred Hoiberg and Matt Abdelmassih attended the Patrick School’s game at Long Island Lutheran in February.
