College coaches poll: Who's the best prospect, scorer, defender?

Posted Jul 28, 2016
The best-defender voting came down to two recruits: Mohamed Bamba and Mitchell Robinson. Both elite-level shot blockers, Bamba and Robinson, an early pledge to Western Kentucky, have had their share of impressive performances on the defensive end. Out of 106 votes, Bamba, a 6’11” center with a 7’7” wingspan, checked in at No. 1, pulling in 24 votes. (Sports Illustrated)
