Syracuse, NY -- Malachi Richardson, the 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Trenton Catholic, will announce his college choice at the end of the week, he tweeted today.

Richardson made an unofficial visit to Syracuse on Dec. 3, when the Orange hosted Indiana. The Orange cruised to a 69-52 win over the Hoosiers with Richardson in attendance.

The New Jersey teenager, one of the brightest guard prospects in the Class of 2015, has narrowed his list to six schools: Syracuse, Indiana, Villanova, Rutgers, Arizona and UConn.

Richardson was a high school teammate of Orange freshman Tyler Roberson last year at Roselle Catholic before transferring to Trenton Catholic this year to be closer to home.
