Recruiting season is in full swing. After a weekend on the grassroots circuit, One Shining Podcast discusses the best prospects in the class of 2017. Scott and I take a look at the top players we saw at the EYBL and Under Armour in Indiana and stack them up against recruiting classes of years past.
Topics include:
- Why DeAndre Ayton is considered the No. 1 NBA prospect in high school basketball.
- Can Mohamed Bamba steal the top spot from Ayton? The Harlem native has outrageous physical dimensions and a great mind for the game.
- Trevon Duval is the top point guard in the class, and no one else is close.
- Is Michael Porter aggressive enough to reach his potential?
- Kevin Knox is on a dramatic rise. Where’s his ceiling at?
- Hamidou Diallo and Lonnie Walker are a pair of game-breaking shooting guards. We discuss why both are so coveted for college basketball coaches right now.
- Wendell Carter is the most polished high school player in the country right now.
