Lewis talks his process and what he’s looking for in a school

In a previous interview with On3, Acaden Lewis broke down his thinking when it comes to official visits and also what he is looking for in a school.

“I’d like to start taking my official visits basically as soon as the summer is over,” Lewis said. “June is kind of hectic with the NBPA Camp and then the two live periods. So after July, once Peach Jam is over, I’m looking to start going on my official visits. My birthday is October, so I was thinking committing then would be cool, but I don’t want to rush things.

“The culture of the school will be big for me. I want to see how they talk to the top guy, their second guy, their thirteenth guy. See how they treat their managers and everyone in the program. The roster will be big too. WIth the portal and everything going on there, I want to go into a family environment where I know the coaches are invested in me.”
