Murphy has visited Uconn Providence and Florida, and plans on checking out another prospective school this weekend.

"I'm actually going to check out Georgia Tech down in Atlanta this week cause my high school team is playing in a tournament down there this weekend," Murphy said.

Although Murphy has no favorites in terms of schools or conferences, he has an idea of what he is looking for when he makes his decision.

"Obviously academics are number one," he said. "Next is the relationship with the coach and the 'family' atmosphere. Style of play and where I would see myself helping the team, too."

With his brother already at Florida, many think that the Gators could be one of the favorites land his services.

However, Murphy says that is not the case - he is wide-open despite the family connection.

"Eh, not really," he said when asked if Erik's location have an impact on his decision.. "He's helping me with the whole recruiting process and he's always here to talk to if I have questions. So he's been a big part of the process for me, but because he's at Florida doesn't have any effect on where I'll end up."

The 6-foot-7 Murphy still has plenty of room to grow and develop, as he needs to refine his game and also mature physically. Luckily, he still has three years before he heads to college.
