Sylmar wing Tyler Honeycutt said he grew up a UCLA fan and is well versed in the history of the program, but that will not be a determining factor on where he plays his college basketball.
He also said geography matters “to my mom, but not me.”
Honeycutt said Texas and Memphis did not offer scholarships yet, but both schools have been watching him closely this month.
What is he looking for in a school:
“Someone who wins. Someone who competes good,” Honeycutt said. “A good school that I could go to. Good coaching. I’ve got to like the coaches if I’m going to go play for them.”
Here is what he said on his four favorite schools:
USC: “It’s a good school. They’re always going to battle in the Pac-10, and battle UCLA.”
UCLA: “They make it far (in the NCAAs). They have good tradition”
Texas: “I like how they run, how they run and gun.”
Memphis: “Same thing as (Texas).”
