Just moments ago on Score Atlanta's The Official Visit, Milton forward Julian Royal announced that when he announces his college decision this Thursday at his high school, it will be either the University of Georgia or Georgia Tech. Wake Forest was previously in his top three, but Wake apparently will not make the final cut.
Other highlights from his interview with Scott Janovitz and Fletcher Proctor, Royal said that he preferred high school basketball over the AAU game because it is more team-oriented and you have set and designed plays over just individual efforts that AAU showcases.
Royal also thinks that his team should be very tough come playoff time because it is playing more of a national schedule, perhaps even compete for a "national title."
Royal was quick to say that both GT head coach Paul Hewitt as well as Georgia coach Mark Fox were very impressive on in-home visits and he wouldn't give negatives on either. He did mention that he's wondered about Hewitt's future but if he were to go to Tech, it would be for the school and the education and not for just a coach. He did reference Mark Fox though several times, perhaps tipping his hand?
As far as a package deal with high school teammate Dai-jon Parker, Royal said that that likely won't happen. He referenced that they had actually spoken about it a while ago but with Shannon Scott headed to Ohio State and Parker weighing his options, it still likely won't happen.
As far as first year expectations, Royal wouldn't go so far as to say he'll be a starter, be he said he will work hard to at least be in the rotation for playing time. He says his versatility is his best attribute and that will help him see some early playing time.
