In a little over a month's time, R.J. Barrett - the No. 1 recruit in the 2018 class - will reveal to the world where he's decided to play college basketball.

In a blog posted to USA Today Sports on Friday, Barrett reiterated that he's narrowed his choices down to three schools - Duke, Oregon, and Kentucky - and will commit on Nov. 10.

"I’m gonna do it at home in Canada with all of my family and friends," Barrett wrote. "I decided to go back to Canada to make the big decision because that’s the place that made me. It just feels right to come back to where it all started.

"I don’t know where I’m going yet. I just set the date because I want to get it over with before the season starts and that should be enough time to come up with the right decision."

In July, Barrett declared his intention to enter college a year earlier following Marvin Bagley III's decision to reclassify.

The 17-year-old sensation will also be returning home this weekend to take part in the Canadian National Team assessment camp.
