Four-star point guard Joshua Tyson is down to two schools, Cincinnati and Xavier, and will announce his college decision this Friday, September 25, his agent at BAM Sports told Rivals.

The West Chester, Ohio, native is ranked No. 56 overall in the 2027 class and the No. 18 point guard, according to the Rivals Industry Rankings, an average of all three major recruiting media companies (Rivals, ESPN, and 247Sports).

Tyson, who will attend La Lumiere (Ind.) for his senior season, has taken official visits to both finalists. He previously considered Clemson, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Virginia Tech before trimming his list.

This summer on the adidas 3SSB Circuit, Tyson averaged 14.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 2.4 steals per game for Phenom United.

Tyson talks Cincinnati and Xavier

In a previous interview with Rivals, Tyson discussed what stood out about both finalists.

Cincinnati: “Coach (Jerrod) Calhoun is a great coach with a winning background at Utah State. He plays fast and I like to play fast as well.”

Xavier: “Coach (Richard) Pitino is an amazing guy and he likes to get the ball out and push it. I like his style of play and he’s a proven winner.”
