"We are going to narrow that list down in a week or two," Montgomery Sr. said. "We are going to chop it down to five."
Those schools he likes are Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, Georgetown, USC, Georgia, Clemson and UCLA. The young man also said that he is going to Duke on a visit, but he has to figure out an exact date.
"We are going to go to Duke," Montgomery said. "We have a couple of dates with them. We haven't pinpointed that date yet, but it is next month. We just have to see which one fits. He gave us a couple of dates around some home games they have."
