Top 5 Uncommitted 2021 Basketball Recruits
The high school basketball Class of 2021 has the potential to be one of the best in recent memory. While most of the highly rated players in this class are already committed to where they will play college ball, there are a few players in the top 10 overall still with decisions to make: a generational type talent, talented scorers, and a dominant big man. Let’s take a look at the top 5 uncommitted 2021 basketball recruits.
Chet Holmgren – Minnehaha Academy (MN)
Regarded as the top overall basketball prospect out of high school since RJ Barrett in 2018, Chet Holmgren has the potential to be a special type of player.
At 7 feet tall and 190 pounds, Holmgren is regarded as not only the top center in the country, but the consensus top overall player as well. Holmgren is a unique prospect as he can do everything well offensively and is no doubt the best shot blocker in the country.
Holmgren has interest from schools such as Gonzaga, Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio State, and whoever gets him is truly getting a generational type of talent.
Jaden Hardy – Coronado (NV)
Arguably the best offensive player in the Class of 2021, Jaden Hardy can score with ease. The top combo guard in this class, Hardy is a consensus top-5 player and has the ability to completely take over a game.
Hardy has interest from Kentucky and UCLA, among other schools, as well as interest from the NBA’s G-League. Wherever Jaden Hardy ends up, he will no doubt be a star from day one due to his offensive abilities.
Patrick Baldwin Jr. – Hamilton (WI)
Regarded as the top small forward in the Class of 2021, Patrick Baldwin Jr. is a versatile athlete. At 6-foot-9 and 190 pounds, Baldwin has it all in his game and is continuing to improve his versatility on the court, which is why he is regarded as a top-5 overall player in this class.
Baldwin has interest from schools such as Duke and Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where his father is the head coach.
Hunter Sallis – Millard North (NE)
One of the bigger combo guards in this class, Hunter Sallis has all the makings of a future NBA star. Sallis is rated as the No. 2 combo guard in the Class of 2021 and has interest from schools such as Gonzaga, Kentucky, and North Carolina. Wherever Sallis ends up going, he has the potential to be one of the best overall players in the country.
Michael Foster – Hillcrest Prep (AZ)
At 6-foot-9 and 220 pounds, Michael Foster is one of the best big men in high school basketball. Foster can play any position in the frontcourt and has shined for national powerhouse Hillcrest Prep. Foster has interest from schools such as Georgia and Florida State, as well as the NBA’s G-League.
