UNC, Gonzaga are "clear frontrunners" for 5-star guard Isiah Harwell

Posted Dec 4, 2023
The No. 9 player in the 2025 basketball recruiting class, Isiah Harwell is as in-demand as any prospect in the country. The Idaho-born star boasts a top nine of North Carolina, Gonzaga, Baylor, Houston, Texas, UCLA, Cal, Alabama, and Idaho State, but it doesn't seem as though all nine stand on equal footing. Gonzaga and UNC feel like the clear frontrunners. (Rivals.com)
