Brandon Jennings' SAT score is becoming more difficult to track than the guard's dribble.

The top-ranked Oak Hill (Va.) Academy point guard, who signed to play for the Arizona Wildcats this upcoming season but is flirting with going to Europe instead, learned Saturday he will have to wait until Friday for results of his third SAT attempt.

Jennings originally believed he would receive his test score on June 26; when he did not, his family said the score would come Saturday. Jennings found out Saturday from the College Board that his result will come next week.

"You can't really worry about things you can't control," said Kelly Williams, Jennings' family friend. "Whatever reasons why they're delaying it, we're not really worrying about it."

Jennings has been ranked the top recruit of the 2008-09 class by Rivals.com, Scout.com and ESPN.com.

In June, Jennings and his mother, Alice Knox, retained Los Angeles attorney Jeffrey Valle to explore a possible jump to a European professional league, something no other prominent American recruit has attempted. After a year, Jennings would enter the NBA draft.

Williams said Jennings would consider Europe even if he receives a qualifying score. Williams said Saturday he was "sure (the decision) will come after the 11th."

Jennings did not receive a qualifying score in his first SAT. His second test showed such a jump in score that the NCAA flagged it, forcing the Compton, Calif., native to take the test a third time.

"He passed the test already — they decided to red-flag it," Williams said. "It's all on the NCAA. It's their world. We're just living in it."

A qualifying score does not automatically make the 18-year-old eligible to play at Arizona. Jennings still has to pass through the NCAA's clearinghouse, a process that could take weeks.

Jennings, who is training in New Jersey with Kelly Williams' son, Nets guard Marcus Williams, was unavailable for comment.

Kelly Williams said neither Jennings nor his family members were annoyed by Saturday's news — or lack thereof.

"What's there to be frustrated about?" he said. "They decided to do whatever they decided."
