NCAA Basketball Recruiting: Non-Big Dance teams with bright futures

9. TCU Horned Frogs

National 2019 Class Rank: No. 24

TCU may have been “snubbed” from the NCAA Tournament this season but they won’t be down for long. This is due to the fact that head coach Jamie Dixon has shown signs of putting together an outstanding 2019 recruiting class. Dixon, on the whole, is one of the more underrated leaders in the country and he has turned around the Horned Frogs’ program in a hurry. With regards to the future, owning the No. 24 class in the country for 2019 is a darn good place to start. To this point in the recruiting season, three top-150 players have signed their letters of intent to play in Fort Worth.

Leading off the group is P.J. Fuller, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Nevada. Ranked as the best player in the state and the No. 65 player in the country for the class, Fuller can fill it up. He brings plenty of size to the off-guard position and has a versatile offensive game that allows him to score in a variety of ways. Fuller can finish around the rim, pull up from mid-range, or knock down looks from beyond the arc. He is hardwired to score.

Next, the Horned Frogs landed another top-100 guard in the form of Francisco Farabello. He is ranked as the No. 98 player in the class and is a true lead guard. He sees the floor remarkably well and is a crafty passer in transition and in the halfcourt. Farabello has the potential be an excellent pick-and-roll playmaker while also dictating the pace of games with his ball-handling and creation.

Small forward prospect Diante Smith (No. 135) completes the class. At 6-foot-6 with a wide frame, Smith has what it takes to be a strong defender for four years at the college level. If he continues to develop on the offensive end, he will be a very nice player for the Horned Frogs.
