Covering high school sports in Tacoma, Pierce County and the South Sound.

Avery Bradley will attend Findlay College Prep in Henderson, Nev., said Garry Ward, Bradley's AAU coach.

"He just left the state on a plane at three o'clock," Ward said.

Bradley, one of the nation's most heralded high school basketball players, withdrew from Bellarmine Prep last week. Ward said Bradley needed to raise his core GPA to become eligible to play basketball in college as a freshman.

According to Ward, Bradley has whittled his college choices to three schools -- Kansas, Texas and UCLA -- and will announce his decision "later this week or early next week."

Ward said Bradley was on track to graduate at Bellarmine Prep in June 2009 and was academically eligible under Bellarmine Prep and Washington Interscholastic Activities Association rules.

"His GPA has got to be higher," Ward said, "and we all know that Bellarmine Prep is one of the toughest academic schools in the state."

Bradley also considered attending prep schools South Kent (Conn.) and Oak Hill Academy (Va.), in addition to Rainier Beach High School in Seattle, Ward said.
