NCAA Basketball Recruiting: Analyzing Cam’Ron Fletcher’s top five
Missouri Tigers
Considering Fletcher is from Saint Louis, the Tigers are clearly the most local program in this latest list. Head coach Cuonzo Martin has been involved in this recruitment for a long time and it should be no surprise that Missouri was able to make the cut. With that said, though, the program might have a difficult time out-recruiting the other powerhouses attempting to land the commitment. Still, I do not want to be the one who counts out Coach Martin is any recruitment battle, especially not one so close to the program.
Coach Martin is known as one of the more underrated recruiting closers in the nation and it is fair to say that the Tigers are in a good position to potentially land Fletcher. They have been targeting Fletcher for arguably the longest period of time and the majority of their recruiting efforts are focused on this commitment. At this point in time, the Tigers are yet to secure a 2020 commitment but Fletcher would be an insanely strong start.
Missouri has reached the NCAA Tournament in just one of the last six seasons and landing this local product could mark a turning point for the program. This is far from a sure thing, but Missouri is in a much better spot than most realize for possibly landing this commitment. The Tigers have been targeting Fletcher for a long time, boast a strong recruiter in Coach Martin, and can make a hometown pitch centered around immediate playing time in a starring role.
