Jeff Borzello looks at the top 20 left on the board and [URL=”http://eye-on-college-basketball-recruiting.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/29884776/33201484″]predicts where they will go.[/URL]
[B]1. Shabazz Muhammad (No. 1 overall)[/B]
[I]Considering: Kentucky, UCLA, Duke, Arizona, UNLV, Kansas, Texas A&M[/I]
Will wait until the spring to sign, and UCLA still seems like the leader. Kentucky, Duke, UNLV chasing.
[B]Prediction:[/B] UCLA
[B]2. Alex Poythress (No. 12)[/B]
[I]Considering: Memphis, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Florida[/I]
Plans to announce on Thursday, with Memphis, Kentucky and Vanderbilt all feeling like they have a chance.
[B]Prediction:[/B] Kentucky
[B]3. Amile Jefferson (No. 13)[/B]
[I]Considering: Connecticut, North Carolina State, Kentucky, Ohio State, Stanford[/I]
Doesn’t have a set date for his decision, but he will get it done in the early period. Wide open, but he visited NC State this past weekend.
[B]Prediction:[/B] North Carolina State
[B]4. Anthony Bennett (No. 14)[/B]
Considering: Florida, Connecticut, Kentucky, Ohio State, Oregon, Pittsburgh, UNLV, Washington, West Virginia
Don’t expect a quick resolution to this recruiting. Still very wide open, and will be a spring signee.
[B]Prediction:[/B] Connecticut
[B]5. Gary Harris (No. 15)[/B]
[I]Considering: Michigan State, Purdue, Kentucky, Indiana[/I]
One of the most hotly-contested recruitments in the country, Harris is close to a decision. Up in the air at this point.
[B]Prediction:[/B] Michigan State
[B]6. Jarnell Stokes (No. 16)[/B]
[I]Considering: Florida, Arkansas, Memphis, Kentucky, Tennessee[/I]
Kentucky turning up the heat on Stokes recently makes this recruitment even tougher to read, as Arkansas and Memphis were the favorites.
[B]Prediction:[/B] Memphis
[B]7. Robert Carter (No. 19)[/B]
[I]Considering: Georgia, Georgia Tech, Florida, Florida State[/I]
Will announce his decision on Thursday, in Atlanta. Georgia Tech has emerged as the leader heading down the stretch.
[B]Prediction:[/B] Georgia Tech
[B]8. Devonta Pollard (No. 20)[/B]
[I]Considering: Kentucky, Georgetown, Mississippi State, North Carolina State, Texas, Alabama, Marquette[/I]
Because Pollard plays football, he’s not very focused on recruiting right now. Will be a spring signee, with the SEC looking likely.
[B]Prediction:[/B] Kentucky
