Kansas among those eyeing Zion Griffin

Four-star Zion Griffin was one of the major stock risers of the summer. Playing for Hoopers Basketball out of Illinois, the 6-foot-5 explosive wing earned offers from several programs throughout the Midwest and around the country.

He recently came out and cut that list of offers down to four schools with Illinois State, Iowa State, Kansas and Pittsburgh the schools fortunate to still be in the mix. He’ll be on Illinois State’s campus this week and has visits set for the other three programs during September.

Griffin broke down his leaders.

Saddiq Bey sets his first four official visit dates

Saddiq Bey took things one step closer to a college decision last week by naming his final list of six schools. Considering Pitt, Miami, Northwestern, NC State, Princeton, and Xavier, Bey has set his first four official visit dates as he will hit four separate schools during a five week period beginning next weekend.

As the school year begins, 49 of the ESPN top 100 have already committed. Only 3 inside the top 10 have pledged.

The ESPN 100 is far, far from locked
Now that Marvin Bagley has moved up and will play at Duke this season, the 2018 class has a different look. R.J. Barrett moved up to the No. 1 spot. Anfernee Simons, Darius Bazley, Tre Jones, Quentin Grimes and Nassir Little all made big jumps after strong months in June and July. There are still many unknowns as a new school year begins.

Here are five bold statements for the 2018 class:

1. No lock for the No. 1 spot
2. The point guards are here, and might be for a while
3. Don't be surprised if Bazley cracks the top 5
4. No spot is locked
5. This class needs to step up
