Five-star small forward Taeshon Cherry had been committed to USC since June of 2017, but backed off it after it was made clear USC was part of the FBI investigation into college basketball. Since he used an official visit on the school before committing, he now has four left and has decided on two that will get them for sure.
He told 247Sports that Arizona State and Texas A&M will get the first two while the other two he is undecided on for now.
