Scout.com Updated 2017 Top 50 Basketball Recruits
Posted Oct 30, 2014
When we first introduced the 2017 class to you, we did so with DeAndre Ayton and Troy Brown at the top of the list. Well after getting a stronger look at the class and extending our rankings from a top 15 out to a top 50, the top two spots look familiar. While Ayton and Brown sit at the top, there are a handful of players just behind them that are elite level prospects. Michael Porter, a 6-foot-8 small forward, Zach Brown, a talented big man, and Wendell Carter round out the updated 2017 top 5.
