Former UK commit Nolan Hickman cuts list to three, decision expected in “a week or so.”

Former Kentucky commit Nolan Hickman is nearing a final decision.

The five-star guard, who decommitted from UK back on April 30, has cut his list down to three schools. The finalists? Auburn, Gonzaga and Kansas, his father tells KSR.
