Michigan and Arkansas are the only two programs he has taken official visits to.

And speaking with On3 , Muurinen said what he's looking for.

In college I see myself as a stretch four, I think I could handle it a little more.

I havent really been able to handle the ball much this season at AZ Compass, but thats something Im looking a little more at doing in college.

The biggest factor for me will be how are the schools going to play me? Thats what matters.

Im comfortable as a stretch four, shooting the ball, catching it at the top of the key and using my dribble, catching lobs, you know the basic stuff as a four or five man today.
