Kyle Alexander – a 6-10, 200-pound senior center from Orangeville Prep in Ontario, Canada – told the Daily News on Monday that he will “probably” make a college decision by the end of this week.

Alexander said he has no more visits scheduled for the spring signing period, which continues through May 20. He took an unofficial visit to WKU in March while his team was playing in an event at McCracken County.

Alexander visited New Mexico last weekend and Tennessee before that. He also took official visits to Rice and St. Bonaventure.

Missouri, Dayton and Auburn were also in the mix at one point.

Alexander’s father, Joe Alexander, told Hoops Hype Canada last month that WKU had recruited his son more than any other program.

“Western Kentucky are relentless in a very good way,” Joe Alexander said in the interview. “They have a very high basketball program for sure, developed a lot of pros and has been in the NCAA tournament.”
