Brandon Boston Jr. is one of the top players in the 2020 class. Which NCAA basketball programs are still recruiting him as members of his final four?

NCAA basketball programs have started to turn their recruiting priorities to the 2020 class as of late. With this, the recruitments of some of the top players in the country have heated up immensely as of late. This includes Brandon “BJ” Boston Jr., a 6-foot-6 wing out of Atlanta, GA. Rated as one of the top guards in the class, Boston has garnered plenty of attention as of late for his play on the EYBL circuit.

While playing for the AOT Running Rebels (eight total contests), he is averaging 19.6 points (.455/.174/.732), 9.1 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game despite struggling from beyond the arc. He is also playing alongside several other highly-rated prospects. Boston, though, is the top-ranked player on the team at No. 8 in the class by 247Sports Composite.

Boston is well-known as a scorer at all three levels with the size/length needed to defend at a high-level. He is a great athlete and the potential is there for him to be a dominant college player before moving to the NBA. Due to his high recruiting ranking and all-around versatile game, he has been heavily targeted by some of the top programs in the country. Recently, though, Boston made the announcement that his recruitment is down to just four schools: Auburn, Florida, Kentucky, and Duke.

Each of the programs represents a potentially great fit due to their prominence on the college basketball scene. Every school will obviously offer a different pitch but the potential for making a deep run in the NCAA Tournament is present at each.

Let’s take a deeper dive into each of the four teams left in the running.
