Alex Kline on AG's destination

From Alex Kline/The Recruit Scoop (a Rivals sub is required):
"Can anyone beat Washington for 5-star wing Aaron Gordon?

For months, the vibe around Aaron Gordon was that he would end up at Washington or Arizona, and possibly even Kentucky. Now, Lorenzo Romar's squad is pulling away, but it is still a bit early. That decision won't be made for a while, though. For starters, the No. 4 player in the Rivals150 for the class of 2013, suffered an injury that has kept him out until July. He also announced that his college decision won't come until the high school season, possibly afterwards so a late winter or early spring decision is imminent. Never the less, the 6-foot-7 small forward out of Archbishop Mitty in California, and Blake Griffin clone, has been open about who he likes in the college process. Washington is the clear favorite at this point with Oregon, Kentucky, UNLV and New Mexico in good shape, as well. All of the schools have offered, but with the addition of Nigel Williams-Goss as the future point guard of Washington come 2013, it gives Gordon even more reason to become a Husky, too. With Washington already on top, the addition of a 4-star point guard and a conference and coach that can get him to NBA lottery pick status within the first year or two, it will be tough for any other team to make up ground on Aaron Gordon."
