Things are heating up in the run up to the 2017 class’s early signing period in November. We’re one month away from players having to sign the dotted line.
Though some schools have made early moves and secured truly impactful classes, there remains a wealth of undecided players that could swing the vote in the recruiting race of 2017.
Among the players undecided are:
Baylor has the top class here in mid-October with a trio of uber-talented in-state prospects. Tennessee isn’t far behind with the No. 3 point guard in the class and the top rated post player in the 2017 class as well. Closing fast is Louisville, headlined by the No. 1point guard in the class, the No. 4 post as well a commit who is among the top 20 wings available this year.
The top 50 signing classes still have quite a few single player classes, which usually don’t hold the closer we get to signing week. The rankings will be updated weekly until the conclusion of the early signing period and will be updated again in the spring after the final signing period is complete.
