Cory says he is getting major attention from Louisville, Ohio State, UNLV, Memphis, Arkansas, Texas Tech, Texas and Texas A&M. He does have interest in tOSU.

In the post just prior to yours there was a list of teams he was getting major attention from and Minnesota was not listed. I assume they are recruiting him due to the talent and family connection but it is interesting that he was not included on that list. Obviously there could be a number of reasons for the omission but hopefully it is because he is not that interested in following his brother or they're not recruiting him all that hard.

Just realized his teammate is Tristan Thompson, #4 on the Rivals 150 and a Texas commit. Any idea if that's going to affect his decision?

2010 PG Cory Joseph, 6-3, 180 pounds
(Toronto, ON (Can)/Findley Prep (NV))

The Canadian product is steadily becoming one of the better players and point guards in the 2010 recruiting class. In fact, he may have been the prospect with the most buzz coming out of this event. He put on a show in the semifinals against the 2011 US Team dropping 36 points and dishing 12 dimes against two of the top US point guards in the 2011 class. He followed that up with a 33-point performance in a tough loss during the championship game against the 2010 US Team. He plays with a great feel and pace using his court vision to pick apart the defense. Although he is right handed, he loves to play with the ball in his left hand and he can attack effectively going either direction. He consistently buried open 3-pointers throughout the tournament and showed a good mid-range game. He is one of those players that always seems to be in the right place at the right time. Plays very unselfishly, but can get his own shot and take over a game at any time. He has a little old school in him because he uses his body to shield defenders and spin dribble to the basket. He is deceptively quick showing no problem accelerating by the highest level guards. He is also a rangy defender that covers a lot of ground and uses his instincts off the ball to come up with steals. This kid is a gamer that should continue to turn heads as the year goes on.

JOSEPH TAKING VISITS

Cory Joseph, a 6-3 point guard out of Henderson (Nev.) Findlay Prep, plans to visit Villanova Aug. 22 and UConn on Aug. 23. He visited Marquette last week.

The Toronto native has a long list that also includes Louisville, Kansas, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Cal, Mississippi State, Memphis, Syracuse, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Minnesota, UNLV, Texas A&M and Ohio State.

His mother, Connie Joseph, said they plan to cut the list sometime this fall.

would be good to see a fellow Torontonian in Columbus
I know a couple guys that played ball against him a few years ago, maybe they can help him make the right choice

There's unfortunately a big obsticle to us staying in the hunt. We have no available ships to offer as we are already one over and Thad has stated he won't go two over. We will be trimmed from his list shortly as we are out of the running. I highly doubt he'd wait until the Spring to decide and that would be our only chance - and a very slim one at that.
