Recruiting Notebook: Five players to know in July
Posted Jul 1, 2016
Mohamed Bamba, Center, PSA Cardinals: I believe Mohamed Bamba has the best shot of surpassing DeAndre Ayton to be No. 1 in the 2017 class and the No. 1 draft pick in 2018. Bamba has ridiculous measurements at 6'11" with a 7'9" wingspan and a 9'7" standing reach. He’s been improving at an impressive rate since emerging during his sophomore season.
