There are 15 uncommitted prospects among the top 100 players in the 2019 recruiting class. Where will they land? We make our predictions.

NCAA basketball recruiting is the lifeblood of any quality program. As any coach will tell you, you can’t win if you don’t have talent, and you get that talent by doing well on the recruiting trail.

Many of the dominoes in the 2019 recruiting class have already fallen but, with just a few months remaining, 15 of the top 100 prospects in the 247sports Composite Rankings are still unsigned. A few are expected to take advantage of non-traditional routes like going to the G-League or overseas, but the rest will be game-changers where ever they end up.

Some currently committed prospects might find themselves back on the open market at some point as well. Coaching changes often spur this kind of movement, and some coaches with top 2019 recruiting class like Sean Miller at Arizona and Andy Enfield at USC are both on the chopping block. That could create an influx of top talent entering the market at a late stage.

Other times new schools may enter the mix for some prospects due to an unexpected NBA Draft entry or decommitment. We saw this happen with Villanova last year.

Simply put, this isn’t over, but there are only a few top prizes currently on the table.

Who will be able to make a significant addition or two to their 2019 recruiting class in the coming months? Here are predictions on where each of those 15 uncommitted top 100 prospects will end up.
