Charlotte (N.C.) <a href="https://www.on3.com/high-school/combine-academy-charlotte-nc-18354/">Combine Academy</a> four-star shooting guard <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/kaden-magwood-178196/">Kaden Magwood</a> is down to three schools, he tells On3’s Joe Tipton. He will announce his commitment on November 11th.



Magwood will choose between <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/auburn-tigers/">Auburn</a>, <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/ole-miss-rebels/">Ole Miss</a> and <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/nc-state-wolfpack/">NC State</a>. 



The 6-foot-1, 165-pound Magwood is the nation’s No. 60 overall prospect, No. 17 shooting guard and No. 2 recruit from North Carolina in the 2025 cycle according to the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/industry-player/basketball/2025/">On3 Industry Ranking</a> — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.



Magwood has taken several official visits thus far, including ones to each of his three finalists. He recapped each of those visits with On3.



NC STATE: “When you go to the Final Four, they really notice you. When I was with <a href="https://gopack.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/kevin-keatts/550">Coach (Kevin) Keatts</a>, everyone knew him everywhere we went. The way they play, the way they practice, before the visit I didn’t realize how intense things were there. Everything is close by on that campus and they have tunnels that make it easier to get around everywhere.



“My relationship continues to grow with them since the visit. I talk to the coaches like every week, so things are still good there.”



OLE MISS: “They have two senior guards there that will be leaving. So there will be an opportunity there for me to come in and be the starter from day one. The coaching staff was really cool there, I really liked being around them. And the whole culture with the program, I really liked it. I talk a lot with Coach (Wes) Flannigan and <a href="https://olemisssports.com/staff-directory/chris-beard/935">Coach (Chris) Beard</a> a lot.”



AUBURN: “The coaching staff was real good there. Everyone communicated really well with me throughout the visit. I liked that. They said I’m a scoring point guard, so I feel like I could come in and be a <a href="https://www.nba.com/stats/player/1630536/career">Sharife Cooper</a>-type of guard, or whoever they have had there. I was there for a football game, I mean, they lost that game, but the atmosphere was great. They were up at halftime, so there were a lot of people there and a great atmosphere. I really liked it.”
