Mark Dolejs / USA TODAY Sports

Duke transfer Derryck Thornton is expected to select his next team in the very near future, possibly within the next couple of days, Jeff Goodman of ESPN reports.

Thornton paid visits to Kansas, USC, Washington, and Miami after leaving the Blue Devils, and is reportedly leaning toward choosing one of the first two programs.

The former five-star recruit announced his decision to transfer out of Duke in mid-April. He spent one year with the Blue Devils, posting 7.1 points and 2.6 assists per game.

He'll be forced to sit out the 2016-17 season, per NCAA transfer requirements for undergraduates.
