Jason Kapono Recruiting Update:
He'll Decide Next Week--(May 14, 1999)

We just spoke with Jason Kapono (6'-8" Sr. PG/SG/SF/PF) of Artesia High School, and he told us that he definitely will not sign a National Letter of Intent before tomorrow, May 15, which is the final day for signing such letters. Instead, Jason will wait until next week at which time he'll sign a scholarship agreement with the school of his choice.

Jason told us that he's down to four schools, UCLA, Utah, Missouri and Arizona. He just returned from his visit to Arizona, and said he "really liked it." Of course, he also said he "really liked" all four of the schools on his list, so all of you 'Cats fans shouldn't get too overly-excited by the fact that Jason had a good visit. Jason also had a good visit (unofficial) to UCLA this past week too.

Jason said definitively that he won't be making a decision this weekend. "I won't decide until next week. I'll sign scholarship papers next week."

Again, Jason gave us absolutely no hint about the direction he might be leaning, so we'll all just have to wait a bit to find out.

Stay tuned.
