Granted, I don't follow this as closely as many on this board, but I can't remember a time this late in the recruiting cycle when we were a finalist for this many top basketball recruits. By my count we are on the short list of 6 of the top 20 rivals HS players in the nation:
6 Malik Monk
9 De’Aaron Fox
11 Terrance Furguson
14 Marques Bolden
17 Jarrett Allen
19 Mustapha Heron
Even last year (when A&M got all the top players we wanted), I can't remember us being in on this many. If we land even one of these six, that would be huge. This also doesn't even count Tony Carr and others lower on the list, who would also be great gets.
