Matthew Hurt's recruitment among best 2019 basketball recruiting battles
Posted Aug 4, 2018
I am guessing that everyone slates James Wiseman here, and rightfully so, but I do find the battle for Matthew Hurt pretty intriguing. Most of the time, the blue bloods, whenever they feel as if they are losing traction with the prospect’s recruitment, they bow out. Not this time around. The five-star is a top target for UNC, Kentucky, Duke, Louisville, Memphis, Minnesota and Kansas.
