CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Heading into the spring, Ignas Brazdeikis remained on the fence about a potential reclassification into 2017 while a few select programs were in pursuit. Fast-forward three months and the recruitment of the Canadian has skyrocketed.

A 6-foot-7 prospect that can play all across the floor, Brazdeikis has been one of the best on the Nike circuit this spring. Brazdeikis discussed where he stands with the potential move into 2018.

“As of right now, I am still wide open with my recruitment," he said. "For 2018, I would be able to get more ready for the college level. I could mentally focus and get locked in. For 2017, the facilities in college are better than in high school so I could get better there.

“Right now, I am probably going to go to 2018. I feel like I have been wanting to go 2018 my whole life until this year and I wasn’t really ready to make that jump to 2017.”

When it comes to college interest, Brazdeikis will not lack for quality suitors.

“Michigan, Florida, UConn, Vanderbilt, Baylor, SMU, Washington, Oklahoma and a few others are on me,” he said. “I took a few unofficial visits to Pitt, Michigan, Cincinnati and Vanderbilt last year.”
