Here we are at the end of June, and believe it or not, just about two months before the 2010-2011 IHSA school year begins.

In that time, the area's biggest basketball star - and one of the nation's top uncommitted talents - Ryan Boatright, will try to narrow down his college choices.

"Boat" gained fame with a verbal committment to USC as an 8th grader, but now he's going to take advantage of the recruiting process by utilizing all five of his allowed college visits.

Expect the senior to try to make a decision before his senior season, which leaves us just about five months. Of course, he could be wowed by a coach and campus and commit before then, but until that happens expect this to be one of the hottest topics around not only Aurora and Illinois, but the country.
