He really has no idea which one is the front-runner at this time, and it's possible that he'll wait until the spring to sign, especially if more schools get involved.

Armand also told us that the team is looking really great, and that Tommy Johnson (6'-4" Sr. SG) has definitely not transferred back to Fairfax and will stay at Crenshaw.
