Nothing has changed since the last time we caught up with Chares Bediako at the beginning of the month. The four-star junior is nowhere near publishing a school list at this time but rather, is more focused on completing his high school season before taking a closer look into his recruitment.

The interest geared towards him is worthwhile because of his talent and the lack of prospect’s build in his mold. Duke offered earlier in the winter, a scholarship could be taken whether he wants to reclassify into the 2020 class, or remain with his original 2021 class. Alabama has also been in frequent contact with him thanks to Keon Ambrose-Hylton, a Tide signee, teaming up with Bediako on the high school circuit. Also, keep an eye on Michigan State, who has begun to invest greater attention into his recruitment.

However, I don’t expect for Bediako to do anything with his recruitment any time soon. If he were to reclassify, that decision wouldn’t be made until the summer and after he plays on the Nike EYBL circuit with the Uplay Canada bunch. In the meantime, expect for more of the nationally relevant programs to jump into the recruitment of the Canadian standout.

JD Davison, while he has been one of the more difficult prospects to see this winter thanks to playing one of the more isolated areas, has become a priority target for some of the top programs near him. Auburn, Mississippi State and Ole Miss have been hot on his heels but the two schools to watch are Alabama and Memphis. Each have been in to see Davison a number of times this season and his commitment is not expected anytime soon, it is within reason to view the Tide and Tigers as the two leaders for him. He could also potentially visit Memphis this weekend for their game against UConn.

Outside of Davison, Alabama is not anywhere near securing a commitment but it will be active this spring. The Tide have started to recruit a number of Rivals150 juniors including the aforementioned Davison, along with Peyton Daniels, Malaki Branham, Bediako and Josh Primo, the latter two who could reclassify into the 2020 class later this year.

JD is pretty good, but it would be nice snag Daeshun Ruffin from Ole Miss.

Wisconsin gaurd Kobe King announced he is transferring. He’s their second leading scorer. Might be a transfer target.

Said Wisconsin wasn't a good fit. Maybe wants to play in a system with more freedom? Not sure if Oats still has connections to Wisconsin, but he would be a nice addition.

Galin might transfer at the end of the year.

Not sure if this is a final list or what, but this is about Josh Primo.

If those are the finalists it seems like we have a decent shot. Is he a reclassification candidate too? I know there was another one besides Bediako.

Jonathon Lawson a 6’6 combo forward from Memphis said Alabama is one of the schools recruiting him the hardest. His two older brothers played at Memphis and Kansas, and another older brother is a starter for Oregon as a freshman. He is a top 100 player. Would be a great get for Oats system.

Give Bediako a "strong a$$ offer" and lets get this ball rolling. Wishful thinking but I can dream.

6’9 Alabama signee Keon Ambrose of @isa_basketball (OH) has been off the charts in this one. Ability off the bounce, showing athleticism/wiggle in transition & shooting the ball well too. A lot to like here #PhenomHargrave

I like him, versatile player. Can rebound well, post up, take people off the dribble, hit threes, should be a nice addition.

Yeah, plus his energy and motor is great. Definitely the type of player Oats is looking for.

Now if we could get a 5.
