2021 Winners

#1 Chet Holmgren
#15 Hunter Sallis

The Zags finished strong pulling in 3 top 25ish players including the #1 overall (Holmgren) as well as a late commitment from former a UK recruit (Hickman).
2) Michigan (306 pts)
#6 Caleb Houstan
#11 Moussa Diabate
#40 Kobe Bufkin

4) Duke (264 pts)
#2 Paolo Banchero
#18 AJ Griffin
#19 Trevor Keels
Jaylen Blakes
Banchero, who is poised to make an instant impact in Durham, will have lots of help from this top 5 class.
5) Kentucky (244 pts)
#12 Daimion Collins
#14 TyTy Washington
#33 Bryce Hopkins
At first glance this appears to be unusually low for John Calipari, who has finished in the top 3 in each of his years at UK. However, the rest of the story is that the Cats killed it in the transfer portal opting for more experienced players under the newly relaxed rules.
Pro (213 pts)
#2 Jaden Hardy
#13 Michael Foster
#75 Scoota Henderson
Fenbo Zeng
For the second year in a row, if the professional ranks were to be considered a college, it would have ranked in the top 10. Rather than 6th, this class would have been closer to 3rd if the late reclassification of Henderson had been picked up by all the services rather than just one.
6) Michigan State (182 pts)
#17 Max Christie
#48 Jaden Akins
#56 Pierre Brooks
The Spartans reload with a strong class of 3 top 50ish players.

#66 John Butler
Leonard Hamilton once again flexes his recruiting muscles with this talented class.
8) Alabama (168 pts)
#9 JD Davison
#30 Charles Bediako

The Tide picks up an elite PG in Davison, who will challenge Tennessee's Chandler for the top incoming SEC playmaker.
