NCAA Basketball: Analyzing top 2020 recruiting class from each P-5 league

Top NCAA Basketball recruiting class in the Pac-12 – Arizona

Late moves in the recruiting cycle helped to edge out other respectable Pac-12 recruiting classes. Even with Stanford and Arizona State adding their highest-ranked prospects in history, the wildcats stashed enough talent to widen the gap.

Top 50 Dalen Terry brings size, length, and playmaking to Tucson. His 6-6 frame allows for a versatile game even if he does need work on his deep ball. Developing ball skills and range will make his time on campus shorter than expected.

Miller’s latest class has a great deal of international flare. Within five days of each other European prospects Kerr Kriisa and Daniel Batcho catapulting them in the rankings. Kriisa man’s the point with elite passing, off the bounce shooting, and competitive nature on defense. Batcho a 6-10 center out of France is a solid post scorer and rim runner.

Replacing Josh Green’s size and production won’t rest solely on incoming Canadian Benedict Mathurin, but he sure fits the mold. Standing 6-6 with a plus wingspan Mathurin is equal parts, playmaker, and scorer, especially with a live ball.

Last but not least is Tibot Gorener, the youngest in the group and the signature we’re all waiting for. We’re looking at a kid with a big frame as he stands 6-8 with plenty of real estate to fill out. A standout shooter in the class of 2020 whose development over the years indicates a high passing IQ.
