Jack Bailey, a 6-foot-10 wing in the class of 2025, continues to receive Power 6 interest and offers.
The Blair Academy (NJ.) and Riverside Hawks AAU product has been in constant contact with Notre Dame, Stanford, California, Boston College, Iowa and Harvard.
He also visited Butler this past weekend.
“It was incredible,” Bailey told ZAGSBLOG in an exclusive interview. “I really loved the coaching staff and it is a system I could see myself playing in and definitely helping them win.”
Butler head coach Thad Matta is one of the strongest appeals of the school for Bailey.
“He’s a legendary winner,” he said. “I definitely expect to see them get back in the tournament next year.”
Bailey also broke down his other options.
Notre Dame (Early September visit): “I loved it. They have an incredible campus and incredible atmosphere. I’ve been in consistent contact with them throughout the fall and I’m excited to see how coach [Micah] Shrewsberry rebuilds the team this year.”
California: “I just started talking to Cal Berkeley and I’m looking forward to visiting them at some point soon. Coach [Mark] Madsen is a player’s coach, and I’m really excited to build a relationship with them. They talked a lot about my versatility and being able to play multiple positions.”
Stanford: “I visited them last year and they were the first school that reached out to me. The whole program, the culture, excellence, everything, it was amazing.”
Boston College: “I’m excited to see how they turn out in the ACC this year. They have a chance to be really good so I’m excited to see what coach [Earl] Grant can put together.
Iowa: “They’re going to be strong this year as always. They have a big history of skilled wings that have gone through there.”
Harvard: Harvard is the most recent to come in. I talked to them for a little bit recently and I’m going to get up and visit shortly, hopefully. But, Harvard is an incredible institution so I’m definitely looking forward to building a relationship with them.”
