Breakdown: The class of 2020 doesn’t have a ton of depth but Center does seem like a spot you a few options late with some upside. One of the sleepers in this class is Elijah Malone. Snuggled up near the Ohio and Michigan border, he’s gone mostly under the radar but has Prairie Heights playing at a high level and he’s a dominate post who can shoot the ball at a great clip. Also look for some guys like Jacob Brown who is picking up offers here and Khori Baker who is having a pretty good final season at John Glenn.
Junior Colleges should have a heyday with this group due to some development and academic issues in this group. A big reason why these guys are still on the board. Could see a guy like Chris Okeke and Jackson Gowdy having a great developmental curve with a post-grad stint.
A lot of size as well here with multiple guys over 6’8. Of the 18 remaining, we expect a good chuck should have NAIA and above options. Might see something like an 3-way split with 6 guys going NAIA, 6 going DIII, and 6 going JUCO or not continuing to play.
