Wolf Pack a finalist for four-star recruit, Eron Gordon

Update: Gordon tweeted Wednesday afternoon that he will postponed his commitment after taking more campus visits, so Wolf Pack fans will have to hold tight and wait for his decision.

Eron Gordon, a four-star shooting guard and one of the top prospects in the class of 2016, will announce his college destination this weekend, and the Wolf Pack is in the mix.

Gordon, the younger brother of NBA player, Eric Gordon, is a 6-foot-2, 175-pound guard from Indianapolis. He's the No. 81 recruit in the nation by Rivals.com and ranks No. 82 overall by Scout.com. Gordon averaged 24.5 points and 4.8 rebounds per game last season after he gained eligibility in January following a transfer from North Central High to Cathedral.

Gordon said he would announce his decision noon Saturday at The Jewish Community Center in Indianapolis (that's 10 a.m. Pacific time). Gordon's 10 finalists, which he announced on his Facebook page, include Nevada, LSU, Butler, Arizona State, Purdue, Auburn, Notre Dame, Xavier, Indiana and Nebraska. His recruitment has been topsy-turvy, so it's hard to pin down who is actually still in the mix and who the favorites are.

Scout.com basketball recruiting analyst Brian Snow said "right now it appears Indiana and Nevada are the two schools. It's a random mix." Snow said he believes Gordon will pick Indiana, the same school his two older brothers played for. Eric Gordon, who now plays for the New Orleans Pelicans, spent only one year with the Hoosiers. Middle brother, Evan, played at three colleges, including two years at Liberty, one at Arizona State and one at Indiana.

Wolf Pack coach Eric Musselman was an assistant coach at Arizona State during Evan Gordon's one season there. When I spoke to Evan during the 2013 Pac-12 Tournament, he had positive things to say about Musselman, so that relationship is a plus in the recruitment of the younger Gordon.

"My brother, playing in the NBA, he knew about Coach and said he knows a lot about the game and has been around it for a long time," Gordon said in 2013. "He's definitely an energy coach, a rah-rah kind of guy."

Eron Gordon is an excellent scorer who thrives in attacking the basket. He's a solid shooter and good rebounder for his size. He's a physical player who can play point guard but is best used off the ball.

The Wolf Pack has at least five scholarships open for the 2016 class.
