FUTURECAST: Yves Missi to Baylor  

Yves Missi, a 2024 big man, will make his college commitment on Wednesday, and I’ve entered a FutureCast for the Baylor Bears here. Texas and Stanford have put their best efforts in this recruitment, but I feel good about Baylor.

As of now, Missi is in the class of 2024. There’s been some speculation about him reclassing into the 2023 class, and I think that’s a serious possibility that could be explored over time.

FUTURECAST: Ahmad Nowell to Tennessee  

Relationships are the key in basketball, especially in recruiting. Nobody has done a better job of forging a relationship with 2024 point guard Ahmad Nowell than the Tennessee coaching staff.

Nowell told Rivals recruiting director Rob Cassidy that he’s planning to take an official visit to Knoxville within the next month, and I’ve entered a FutureCast for the Vols as I currently view them as the leader in this race.

Villanova, Arkansas, Auburn, Seton Hall, Louisville and Kansas are some of the other schools in the mix for Nowell.
