A prospect that put the texasboysbasketball.com staff on notice was forward Keith Haymon. The top 50 TBB player collected a bevy of offers in his last grassroots season as his size, versatile skill set and smooth shooting stroke was on full display.
“The latest offers I have gotten in the Spring are from Northern Arizona, UT Rio Grande Valley, Lafayette College, University of Illinois-Chicago, Oral Roberts, and Northern Colorado,” Haymon said. “The schools that seemed to have made me a top priority are Northern Arizona, Lafayette (College), UTRGV, UI-Chicago, and Oral Roberts.”
Sept 16. Haymon plans on taking his first official visit and will take a visit to Pensilvania a few weeks after.
“I do plan on taking a few official visits in the fall months. September 16th is the first one to Northern Arizona then Lafayette (College) will follow a couple weeks after,” Haymon said. “Other than those two I haven’t decided any others but I’m looking to see where else I would like to visit based on the relationship with the coaches and priority and everything.”
Being in a program that he will develop is key for Haymon as he has aspirations on continuing his basketball career after college.
The things I’m looking for in a school is somewhere that I can develop and where the coaching staff believes in my abilities. Also where I have the opportunity to earn good playing time and personally develop my game to be able to play professionally.”
Academics is also a major factor in Keith’s decision making as he wants to pursue studying law.
“I also take a very high consideration into academics, looking for a place that will put me in a good position to go into law moving forward (specifically corporate law),” Haymon said. “Those are the major factors in my decision along with the overall fit of the school and location for me as well.
