Kennedy Chandler cut his list to five back in April -- Duke, Kentucky, Memphis, North Carolina and Tennessee -- and he updated 247Sports on where things stand with his recruitment as well as what he has been learning from Ja Morant during his down time.
"It’s been going good," he said of his recruitment. "It’s been kind of hard because I really want to go visit schools and coaches but I can’t, it’s a little difficult."
The 6-foot-1 and 170-pound point guard has been on official visits to Florida State, Michigan, Ole Miss, Syracuse and Tennessee. He's also been on unofficials to Duke, Kentucky and Memphis -- the Vols being the only program left in his final five that he has taken an official to and makes North Carolina as the only school he has not been to.
While things have been buzzing around his recruitment, he says he would still like to see every school on his final list before deciding.
"I still want to see all of the schools before I make my decision," he said.
What did the highly coveted point guard have to say about each program?
Duke: "That’s always been a dream school for me. They have been recruiting me hard, wanting me to go down there, for me it’s always been a dream school, it’s a school I always loved to watch."
Kentucky: "I got a good relationship with Coach Cal and coach [Tony] Barbee. They really think I’m a good player and would fit their program with the way they let their guards get up and down."
Memphis: "I think Penny [Hardaway] is starting to change stuff around ever since he became the head coach. He had the number one recruiting class, now he got Moussa [Cisse], he’s starting to build the program up, it’s the hometown, I have known Penny for a long time and I know what he expects."
North Carolina: "Coach Roy Williams, they call me the most probably out of all of the schools and they are hard on recruiting me. I’ve been watching them for a little while with Coby White and Cole Anthony. They let their guards do what they need to do, get everybody involved, pick-and-rolls, I like the way they run their game.
Tennessee: "I got a good relationship with them and coach [Kim] English. Ever since they offered me they have been recruiting me really hard and they have some underrated players that go there and that’s a school that I’m interested in."
When asked if he has a timeframe regarding when he would like to make a decision, he simply said, "No, I do not."
Tennessee has shifted and has received 100-percent of the crystal ball picks for the top ten prospect.
During his down time, the No. 1 point guard in 2021 has been working in the gym, playing, learning and building a relationship with the No. 1 point guard in the 2019 NBA Draft, Ja Morant.
"It’s been going good so far even though I haven’t been able to play AAU ball," he said of how he has spent his offseason. "I’ve been working out and getting better everyday. It’s been good to be playing around some pros, I’ve been playing with Ja [Morant], Cameron Payne and some overseas guys."
"I got a good relationship with all of them," he added. "I built my relationship well with Ja and learning new things that I should do and what I can do better on. He’s been telling me to move speeds, keep pushing the ball at all times, never slow down with the speed I got and just learn how to guard ball-screens."
Chandler is the No. 10 overall prospect and the No. 1 overall point guard in the industry generated 2021 247Sports. Composite Rankings.
