Syracuse, N.Y. -- Kaleb Joseph, the highly-rated point guard in the Class of 2014, will visit Syracuse University this Friday and Saturday, according to his high school coach.

One of the most heavily-recruited high school point guards in the Class of 2014, Joseph's final three schools include Syracuse, Providence and West Virginia.

Joseph, a native of Nashua, N.H., visited Providence this past weekend.

Although Joseph has described Syracuse as his dream school, the a 6-foot-3 rising senior at Cushing Academy in Ashburnham, Mass., will be making his first trip to the SU campus this weekend.

"He's set to go up there this weekend,'' Cushing Academy coach Barry Connors said Monday morning. Connors also confirmed that Joseph is scheduled to visit West Virginia on Sept. 27.

Joseph's visit to Syracuse will coincide with the start of the SU basketball team's practices in advance of the Orange's upcoming 4-game exhibition tour to Canada.

Syracuse is targeting the backcourt during its recruitment of the 2014 class. Syracuse had been recruiting Ja'Quan Newton, a Philadelphia native who last week committed to Miami. Syracuse is also involved with Isaiah Whitehead, a combo guard from Brooklyn.

Joseph is ranked No. 51 in the 2014 Class by ESPN. Rivals lists him at No. 56, but those rankings were put out prior to this summer's AAU circuit during which Joseph stamped himself as a rising star while playing for the Mass Rivals AAU team.

Last year, Joseph led Cushing Academy to the Class AA New England championship.
