247 Sports recently updated its prospect rankings for the 2020 basketball recruiting class. There was a fair amount of movement, too, including several ACC prospects.
Caleb Love, heir to the point guard throne at North Carolina, jumped up to a top-10 ranking — from No. 23 to No. 6. Walker Kessler, Love’s soon-to-be (fingers crossed) classmate at UNC, fell from No. 13 to No. 25. Kessler remains as 5-star recruit, though.
247 class 2020 rise/fall:
Caleb Love +17 from #23 on 10/1 to #6
Makur Maker -12 from #5 on 4/14 to #17
Keon Johnson +6 from #21 on 10/14 to #15
Zay Todd -13 from #14 on 10/17 to #27
Walker Kessler -12 from #13 on 4/12 to #25
Mark Williams +13 from #29 on 11/1 to #16— fendo (@dancingwithnoah) May 6, 2020
Incoming Duke center Mark Williams, moved up 13 spots: No. 29 to No. 16. Williams is now a 5-star recruit, too.
Other Top 100 Names
- Scottie Barnes, FSU: moved up one spot; now No. 8
- Jalen Johnson, Duke: fell back four spots; now No. 12
- Day’Ron Sharpe, UNC: fell two spots to No. 20
– Day'Ron Sharpe isn't a super bouncy athlete, but he runs the floor well, good hands too. A force on the offensive glass. UNC will absolutely maul teams on the o-glass with Bacot, Brooks, Sharpe, Kessler
– Cade Cunningham is insane. Ridiculous passing feel/vision, OTD finishing
