College Basketball Recruiting: Predicting where the top uncommitted seniors will land
With the finale of March Madness, recruiting will headline college basketball for the coming months. Who’s still undecided and where will they end up next fall?
The drama that college basketball brings in March is officially over, making recruiting and high school prospects the primary focus for college basketball.
Entering this spring, plenty of the nation’s top players still remain undecided. According to the 247Sports Composite, five of the top 15 seniors are uncommitted, as well as nine of the top 40 prospects.
Five-star power forward Mohamed “Mo” Bamba and five-star point guard Trevon Duval highlight the list of top undecided seniors. According to the 247Sports Composite, both rank at No. 3 and No. 5 in the national rankings respectively. Five-star prospects in Kevin Knox, Brandon McCoy, Brian Bowen, and M.J. Walker are uncommitted as well and will be analyzed in this slideshow.
I have gathered information from various sources that focus on national recruiting or are team-specific analysts to come to a decision on where these talents will end up. I have provided a “confidence level” of my prediction, similarly to how ESPN’s Jeff Borzello does, along with other schools heavily involved in a recruit. The 247Sports Crystal Ball is factored in and will be included in the article.
