Men's basketball recruit Greg Paulus may be on the verge of making a college decision.

In a telephone interview with The Chronicle Saturday afternoon, Paulus' father Dave indicated that Greg may announce his decision as early as this week.

"I think it's very possible that he'll make [a decision] before mid-September," Paulus said. "There's a possibility he may make it next week."

Paulus, a 6-foot-2 point guard, is considered to be one of the top point guard prospects in the class of 2005. As a sophomore last year, Paulus averaged 24.5 ppg and 6.5 apg at Christian Brothers Academy in Syracuse, NY. Paulus is also a talented quarterback who has already broken the New York state touchdown pass record.
