Anyone expecting a decision soon from Peachtree Ridge small forward Jordan Capps may be waiting for a while. According to 247sports.com, Capps has decided to wait until spring to announce his decision. He currently holds offers from Appalachian State, Furman, Gardner Webb and Winthrop, but he is starting to receive looks from other programs such as Arkansas, Wake Forest, Minnesota and Illinois. If Capps can post a big season, look for the offers to come pouring in for the 6-foot-6, 195-pound Suwanee product.
