UPDATE: Pepperdine transfer Jordan Baker reportedly will decide between four schools.

According to this tweet by Matt L. Stephens of the Coloradoan, Baker said today that Colorado State, Iowa, Providence and Florida State are his top four.

We recently covered junior Jordan Baker's decision to transfer from Pepperdine. Where might the 6-foot-4 combo guard end up?

Baker visited Iowa two weeks ago and told Tom Kakert of HawkeyeReport.com shortly thereafter that Fran McCaffery's program was in the lead.

"I am going to compare the rest of the visits to Iowa," Baker said. "Obviously, Iowa was the first so they are the leader, but I haven't taken any of the other visits yet."

Baker will visit San Jose State on July 19 and Colorado State the weekend of July 28-31. Baker also plans on visiting Providence and said that Florida State has shown interest.

Baker averaged 11.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game but was not particularly efficient offensively. He turned the ball over on over 26 percent of possessions but shot the ball well from beyond the arc, connecting on 37 percent of his threes. He will presumably sit out a year and be eligible in 2014-15.
