As expected, the 6'6" shooting guard from the 2021 class chose UK today. He is a Top 5 player in that class, but most everyone expects that he'll reclassify and become part of the 2020 class.

 

Big get.

Isn't he the highest rank recruit in a few years?

Probably so. Maybe since Fox?

First ESPN Top 100, top5 player since Julius Randle (#3) way back in the class of 2013.

Fox was 6th or 7th, I think.

24/7 has Skal ranked 2nd in 2015 & Towns 5th in 2014, but we're probably just splitting hairs.

 

That 2013 class, according to 24/7, had UK with #2 (Randle), #5 (Andrew), #6 (Aaron), #9 (Young), & #10 (Dakari).

Whether he reclassifies or not, but especially if he does, UK is going to clean house in the 2020 class.

 

2021, however, appears to be a monster class for Duke.

Probably so, I just used ESPN 100 for consistency sake.

He already said he's re-classifying in a video on his twitter.

I think 247sports has even moved him to #4 in 2020 as well as #4 on Rivals.
