Don’t look too deep into my Charles Bediako FutureCast prediction, but Alabama has been the constant chatter with the top-20 center for the past year. Nate Oats and his staff have done an awesome job of recruiting the standout Canadian and the Crimson Tide's work north of the border has been impressive, recently enrolling Josh Primo and Keon Ambrose-Hylton, two incoming freshmen that played travel ball alongside Bediako as recently as last summer.

Sure, Duke, Michigan and Ohio State are three others that are involved with Bediako, but the Blue Devils' recruitment of Bediako is a bit overblown. Adding another big of his talent would be nice, but Paolo Banchero’s commitment may have solidified Duke's frontcourt needs in the 2021 class. I would watch out for Tennessee and Texas and while I do not foresee a commitment happening anytime soon, the Tide are definitely among the favorites for one of the best centers in the nation.
