TJ Holyfield, a 6-foot-8, 227-pound graduate transfer out of Stephen F. Austin, has narrowed his list of schools to Kansas, Texas Tech and Illinois, he said in an instant message to The Star on Monday.
Holyfield, who is originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, eliminated Oregon and Miami. He said he will be making a final official visit — to Illinois — starting Wednesday. He’s visited both KU and Tech.
“Texas Tech and Kansas went great,” Holyfield told The Star, referring to recent visits. “I narrowed down my list to those two and Illinois. I’ll be heading to Illinois Wednesday to see my former head coach (Brad Underwood) and see what their program is about.
