VT transfer Landers Nolley, one of the most coveted players in the country, set an announcement time. Georgia basketball is in the running.

Ranked by ESPN as the No. 1 sit-out transfer in the country, Virginia Tech transfer Landers Nolley tweeted on Friday that he’s trimmed his list to three: Georgia, Ole Miss and Memphis.

Per Evan Daniels of 247Sports, Nolley has settled on a date and time to make his college announcement.

A 6-foot-7 guard/wing, Nolley has been taking virtual tours of the campuses and athletic facilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The signing deadline is May 31.
