On Wednesday, the early period for National Signing Day begins for basketball and we could see a couple of guys officially become Hilltoppers.
As it stands, the Hilltoppers have two verbal commitments for the 2019 class, both of which are in-state products.
Isaiah Cozart announced his verbal commitment to the Hill late in October and Jackson Harlan gave his verbal commitment back in June.
A quick check at 247Sports’ hoops targets list shows that the Tops may not have a ton of luck with the 2019 class in terms of numbers but they do say the Tops are in play for five-star forward Precious Achiuwa.
Names to watch out for throughout the day and week (the early period ends next Wednesday) are Tre’ Williams, Bruce Guy, Luis Reynoso and Mason Daniels.
I’m also unsure of when a player can reclassify, but if it happens this early signing period, the B I G name to watch for is Nick Ongenda, who gave his verbal commitment to the Tops’ 2020 class back in October.
It could be the case the Hilltoppers sign multiple unknowns. It could be the case they sign no unknowns but are still in play for them. Anyone Rick Stansbury can get the earlier, the better.
If there is someone the Tops are hoping to land in the early period but don’t, the regular singing period is April 17 — May 15, 2019.
