Recruiting is the lifeblood of NCAA Basketball, and many top 2019 prospects have yet to make their commitments. Where will they land?
The top recruits in the 2019 recruiting class just started their senior year in high school and, as expected, most of them remain unsigned.
Of the 25 prospects who received a five-star rating in the 247sports Composite Rankings, 18 have yet to give a commitment. Both Kentucky and USC have already gotten pledges from a pair of five-star prospects, and as such, it’s no surprise to see them ranked among the top three 2019 recruiting classes (along with Villanova).
Obviously, those rankings will change a lot over the course of the next year and these next 10 players will have a lot to do with it. Freshmen are having as big of an impact as ever in college basketball and, as we’ve seen, a star freshman or two can singlehandedly define and carry a program for however long they’re there.
There is no clear No. 1 overall recruit in the 2019 class as three players – James Wiseman, Vernon Carey, and Cole Anthony – are all thought of as can’t miss prospects, but there are several other budding stars at the top of the class.
So, where will the top uncommitted prospects end up? Here are our predictions for the top 10 unsigned recruits, as ranked by the 247sports Composite:
