Basketball recruiting storylines to watch in 2021

Posted Jan 4, 2021
Gonzaga isn’t going to land the top recruiting class in the country even if they land current No.1 Chet Holmgren and No. 6 Hunter Sallis. They won’t have the numbers. But they would have a top five class in the country and the highest ranked duo of anybody in 2021. There is a very real chance that they do that. I’ve predicted Holmgren to the Zags. (247 Sports)
