According to a tweet from Adam Zagoria, five-star guard Josh Selby will set his schedule for official visits on Wednesday. The Lake Clifton (MD) standout is considering Baylor, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Miami and Syracuse.
TheShiver.com reported Monday afternoon that Selby will take him on an unofficial trip to Kansas this weekend where he’ll attend “Late Night in the Phog” at Allen Fieldhouse. He’ll be unable to take official visits until he takes the ACT or SAT.
Kansas, Kentucky and Syracuse are the three schools considered to be in the best position for No. 4 player in the 2010 class on Rivals.com.

ITH Super Happy Fun Time Player Profile: Jeremiah Rivers
There is no player on this 2009-10 Hoosiers squad I’m more interested in seeing on the court than Jeremiah Rivers. I’ve heard and read so much about him: how he’s the leader the team so desperately needs; how he looks terrific in practice; how he’ll be a rock at point guard for IU. He is part of a basketball pedigree with his father being Doc Rivers, while leaving a school, Georgetown, that’s been quite good in recent years to transfer to Indiana.
I don’t think there’s a doubt in anyone’s mind that he’ll be the starter from day one, and it’s his job to lose as the season progresses. There’s a sentiment that with Rivers at the helm, everything feels safe: there is no wildness of Daniel Moore, there is no Verdell Jones perhaps playing a bit out of position. There is a point guard. A true point guard.
But have we all been duped? Think about the level of competition Rivers practiced against last season, the one he looked so good against. It wasn’t exactly stellar. As a sophomore at Georgetown, he only averaged 2.5 points, 2.4 rebounds and one assist in 18.6 minutes. I know he was brought in mainly for defense, and wasn’t a go-to guy. But that’s hardly anything to write home about.
Look: Rivers will be an upgrade over what the Hoosiers marched out at point last year. He’ll be better. And, trust me: I want Rivers to be as good as advertised. I want him to lead this team. It’s just that, based on past performance and a year of practicing against weaker competition, I’m going to be cautiously optimistic about him heading into this year.
