Jayson Tatum is ready to let the world know where he will be playing college basketball. Sometime within the next two weeks, the #1 small forward (and #4 overall player) in the Class of 2016 will announce his decision. Down to four schools as of April 10th, the 6'8" wing from Saint Louis, Missouri surprised some when he kept his hometown school on the list with blue bloods Duke, Kentucky and North Carolina. But based on everything Tatum has said leading up to his decision, counting SLU in with the other three heavyweights was not just a token inclusion.

"I love the city of St. Louis and I love the school," Tatum told BDL's Javon Nesbit at the USA Basketball U-19 trials in Colorado Springs last month. "I know how much it would mean to the town and my family if I were to stay."

Other than Duke, where Tatum took an official visit with his mom and dad in February, St. Louis is the only other school on his list that he's visited. So it's no surprise that those two programs are leading the 247Sports Crystal Ball, with Duke at 68% and St. Louis at 16%.

With a decision coming soon, Tatum will not take any more visits, competing in the Peach Jam finals of the EYBL Circuit this weekend before heading back home. He would be the first commitment in his class to Duke, St. Louis or UNC.
