Lewis, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard out of El Paso (Texas) Chapin is set to decide between eight schools – Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Baylor, Houston, Memphis, Texas Tech, and UCLA.

The Texas native has taken official visits to Memphis, Arizona, and Texas Tech. He’s taken unofficial visits to Houston, Texas Tech, and Baylor. However, his decision will likely come down between Texas Tech and Arizona.

Lewis discusses Texas Tech and Arizona visit

Lewis’s two most recent visits came in the month of February. Arizona on the weekend of Feb. 5th, and Texas Tech on the following weekend of Feb. 12. He discussed both trips in a previous interview with On3.

Texas Tech: “Tech was good. I really enjoyed it. The coaching staff are definitely all great people and it’s always great to be around people like that. The atmosphere in Tech is crazy.”

Arizona: “Since I was a kid, Arizona has always been my dream school so I was really excited to get out there. Coach (Tommy) Lloyd is a great coach coming from Gonzaga. Their style of play is fast, uptempo, sharing the ball, high IQ. They also have great fans there. The atmosphere was definitely crazy versus USC. It’s Arizona, you know? You can’t go wrong with it. I just had a great time in general.”
