“I would say it’s between Gonzaga, Minnesota and Marquette,” said Suggs. “I think those are the three frontrunners. Those are the three schools that I’m closest with and have some of the best relationships with.”
However, Suggs isn’t quite ready to cut his list down just yet.
“There are some other ones involved,” he said. “Michigan is emerging. I’ve talked to coach Juwan Howard a lot lately. Iowa and Iowa State are still in the mix. They’ve been in my recruitment, pretty much ever since my seventh grade year. So, we’ll see.”

That is probably the weakest top list I have ever seen from a recruit of Suggs caliber, makes me wonder if he is overrated.
24x7 has him rated 306, 316 composite. Not sure how that jives with being in the final 16 for U19, I would think he is in line for a big bump. FYI
Probably looking at his football ranking. He’s a top 15, five-star kid.

Weird, those were the numbers I got when I did a search, I looked at the 2020 list and he is at #12. OK, stand corrected. Thanks
Yes, you were looking at his football profile. He’s a high-major prospect in both sports. Here’s his basketball profile.

Well, it listed Brian Snow as his lead analyst and he is a BB guy. I think it is just a glitch in 24x7’s search engine Software that pulled up the FB rank.
Yes, his football profile is very strong, offers from Ohio State, Nebraska, Georgia but not sure how commitable these offers are
Blurbs from Christopher, Kessler and Suggs.
id add draymond to that ^ list.
think he was just a 3 or 4 star. but beilein recruited him like a 5 star — very hard for a very long time. felt like he was all ours til that worm izzo realized he was an idiot and just started offering all of JBs prospects.

Just thinking about a ‘dream class’ for 2020, this is what I had in mind if there remains six likely openings (five currently and a Davis grad transfer):
Zeb
JAR
Burnett
Kessler
That leaves two, one of which I think has to be a projectable 3/4 man that can ideally shoot the ball – could that be Scooby? The sixth spot is a wild card to me, and could still theoretically be filled by Franz, I guess.

if that was the class I’d feel pretty good banking a scholarship for a grad transfer and one for ‘21

I’d keep a spot open for a grad transfer for sure, then maybe Jace Howard

Scooby would be pretty ideal in that class sans an elite 3&D wing/PF. Scooby might never shoot all that well but let him hustle, play d and rebound with those four around him and that’s a solid, balanced team.
Thats a dream class, outside of getting five one and done players.

Jace is a pretty similar prospect no?
Scooby has far better offers. He’s more of a sure thing and more likely to contribute earlier. I’d take Jace as a walk on, but I wouldn’t want him on scholarship unless we had elite players throughout the class

The 2020 class might well be more of a “take what you can get” type class, plus Jace is much more likely than Scooby (who is likely going to MSU)
Scooby is a top 150 kid with high-major offers. Jace is an unranked kid with a couple of mid-major offers. I would say they are a different tier.

I did calm it a dream class. And yeah, Jace is more likely than Scooby. But again, I said it was “ideal” and a dream class. Which is what we were talking about.
Don’t think Juwan or Michigan can afford to have 2020 be a “take what you can get” class. It will probably be the class that really determines how much he accomplishes over the first 3 years or so.
