El Cajon (Calif.) Foothills Christian 2016 power forward T.J. Leaf is down to eight schools, his travel team the Compton Magic announced Sunday.

The 247Sports Composite five-star forward is considering Kentucky, Kansas, UCLA, Texas, California, San Diego State, Gonzaga and Indiana. Leaf, ranked as the No. 12 player in the class and the No. 3 power forward in the class, decommitted from Arizona on Thursday. He he's looking for "a free system and somewhere I fit." He praised a few of the schools recruiting him for their open systems, including UCLA and Indiana.

Indiana contacted Leaf soon after his decommitment, with head coach Tom Crean primarily talking to him. Leaf likes Indiana's style of play, saying that Crean lets his players play very freely on offense.

Bruins head coach Steve Alford has been Leaf's main recruiter, and Leaf also likes UCLA's style of play, but says the close proximity of UCLA has no effect on his decision. UCLA has made a run in his Crystal Ball and now leads for him.
