There are just four NCAA Basketball teams left for class of 2020 big man Frank Anselem to decide from? Which team has the best shot to land him?

Among the biggest positional needs this offseason, the center spot was one many NCAA Basketball teams were trying to take care of. However, outside of top-tier transfers Matt Haarms and Olivier Sarr, there just weren’t many free agents from either the portal or the available class of 2020 bigs. Thing is, there are a couple of players this week making a decision, including five-star center Moussa Cisse and Frank Anselem, who each reclassified to play next season.

While his latest updated ranking may have dipped, Anselem is still viewed as a four-star prospect who has high upside. At 6’10 and over 220 pounds, he’s a great athlete and rim protector with a growing offensive game that could have him end up in the NBA. His decision to reclassify makes sense given the need many teams had as a center and once he re-opened up his recruitment, Anselem had a number of interested suitors.

From the last updated a month ago, there were six programs after Anselem. Now though, only four programs remain.

With three of these teams having missed out on the NCAA Tournament (projected as an at-large at least), and the other (San Diego State) losing its best players, all four teams could use a player of Anselem’s talents. In fact, he may be the best available player any of these programs will be able to get for the rest of the offseason.
But which one will get Anselem, who intends on making a decision on Wednesday? Here’s a look

at how he would fit with each of the finalists.
