Gonzaga is no longer a factor in the recruitment of Reid Travis, Adam Zagoria of zagsblog.com says.

Instead, Travis will choose from Stanford, Duke and Minnesota on Nov. 8th. His father confirmed the announcement date to the Star Tribune.

It is interesting that the Minneapolis native would eliminate a school so late in the process, but it's hard to know what goes on behind the scenes.

Travis is the first of the local 'Big Three' -- which includes Tyus Jones and Rashad Vaughn -- to announce a decision date.
