Lake Clifton-Eastern (Baltimore) point guard Josh Selby, ranked No. 7 in the HSH national top 50, will announce his college decision at the Jordan Brand Classic in New York on April 17, according to his mother, Maeshon Witherspoon.

She went on to say that the timing of Josh’s decision had nothing to do with him waiting to see what Pine Crest (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) point guard Brandon Knight is planning to do, a popular rumor on message boards across the country. MORE >

Garfield High School (Seattle) guard Tony Wroten Jr. said his interest from colleges hasn’t fallen off as a result of the knee injury that could cost him his entire junior season.

Wroten tore his ACL in September, in his first game with Garfield’s football team. (He also caught a touchdown and intercepted two passes in that game.) He’s been sidelined ever since, and the reigning Class 4A state runner-up Bulldogs has struggled to stay in Washington’s Top-10 ranking without him. MORE >

Will they sign during the Early Signing Period (which runs through Nov. 18) or keep us in suspense another five months and sign in the spring? Here’s a look at the top five unsigned seniors and what they will likely do.

1. Harrison Barnes (Ames High, Iowa), 6-6, SF We can all recite the schools on Barnes’ list by now — North Carolina, Duke, Kansas, Iowa State, UCLA and Oklahoma — but come Friday we won’t have to. Barnes, HighSchoolHoop’s top prospect, will announce his decision live on ESPNU at 4 p.m. EST. “Everybody’s making a big deal about me announcing on Friday the 13th,” said Barnes. “It’s crazy to me… I don’t get into all of that spooky stuff.” MORE >

Lake Clifton-Eastern High (Md.) star Josh Selby is at the center of one of the most complicated and intense recruiting battles that’s been waged in quite some time.

First, he committed to Tennessee last September only to back out of the commitment 10 months later because “I committed too early,” and currently Kansas, Connecticut, Baylor, Oregon, Syracuse, Florida State, Miami, Texas and Kentucky are putting on the full-court press trying to make the Vols’ loss their gain.

Selby’s take?

“I’m just chillin,” says Selby MORE >

Brandon Knight has been talked about as the next big thing ever since he switched from a fade to cornrows somewhere around eighth grade. Whether it’s with media hounds or overzealous fans, he answers the same basic questions on a daily basis, and for those reasons it’s no wonder Knight, a 6-3 point guard who is rated the No. 2 prospect in the HighSchoolHoop top 50, sounds less-than-interested to chat … Even if he’s in Hollywood accepting the Gatorade Athlete of the Year Award just before the ESPY’s.

Knight, who averaged 31.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists to lead Pine Crest High (Fla.) to a second straight state title, was just the third junior to receive the prestigious award following LeBron James (2002 and 2003) and Greg Oden (2005 and 2006). MORE >
