11. Brady Dunlap – No. 130

Dunlap is a 6’7 guard/wing from California, playing for Harvard Westlake. He and the team were fairly impressive this past season, including a win over Bronny James and Sierra Canyon. Dunlap’s size and shooting ability makes him an ideal small forward at the NCAA Basketball level and if his defense translates, he’ll become a key rotation piece as soon as next year.

Dunlap had originally committed to play for Notre Dame and it made sense as he fit the style of play Coach Mike Brey had there. But after his intentions to retire at the end of the season, Dunlap opted to de-commit and become a free agent.

Unlike some of the other prospects on this list, we at least know who the teams in the running for Dunlap are. He recently announced a final five, which includes, St. John’s, Villanova, North Carolina, Penn State, and Nebraska. Ironically enough, two of those (St. John’s and Penn State) went through similar changes on the sideline.

Of this group, the Red Storm and Nittany Lions have the most playing time to offer. Nebraska has been loading up on wings, while the Tar Heels recently landed Stanford transfer wing, Harrison Ingram. Look for a decision from Dunlap soon once he completes all of his visits.
