After saying he would consider reclassifying from 2021 to 2020 early last July, five-star Mater Dei point guard Devin Askew said a few weeks later that he wouldn't because there was "no rush."
But suddenly it feels like there may be a rush again. Askew posted on Instagram on Tuesday that he would set a date and make a commitment soon, a day after UA coach Sean Miller and Louisville coach Chris Mack were among those watching him practice at Mater Dei.

Arizona, Louisville, Villanova, Memphis and Kentucky are pursuing Askew, who stood out with Team Why Not over the summer, and Stockrisers said he met with Mack on Monday and with John Calipari last week.
