Posted Sep 16, 2019
Over the weekend, 2021 five-star power forward Paolo Banchero announced he is down to nine: Baylor, Duke, Georgetown, Gonzaga, Kentucky, Memphis, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington. Banchero isn't expected to commit in the near future, but If I were to pick teams with the best chance of beating Washington, I would look at Duke and Kentucky. (Rivals.com)
