WKU Recruiting: Charles Bassey’s “Crystal Ball” Looking Promising for Tops

247Sports’ Crystal Ball for Charles Bassey appears to be very positive for the Tops. I say appears because, well, I can’t actually verify (if any of you can, hit us up on the tweets), but this article seems to make it the case.
However, what I can tell you is that his crystal ball is a 100% to WKU, according to his 247Sports player page.
If you didn’t enjoy that, enjoy this little timeline of his crystal ball saying he was going to that school out east.
(I’m going to superly regret posting this when this crystal ball prediction turns out to be wrong.)
As we all know, the road to see Bassey on the Hill isn’t an easy one. My dude currently holds offers from the likes of Kansas, Oklahoma, Creighton, Washington and Cal, just to name a few, and is (again, as you know) a consensus five-star boss.
Hell, the dude is already NBA sized, as Rivals has him listed at 6'10", 225 lbs.
Both Rivals and 247Sports have him as the number three overall overall player in the 2019 class, and 247 says he’s the #2 center and best player in Texas.
There has been a recency of good news regarding Bassey potentially landing in Bowling Green, as Chad Bishop penned his weekly column this week about not only Bassey perhaps leaning towards WKU, but him reclassifying to the 2018 class (meaning he’d be in BG, if he is indeed coming, sooner).
May I tantalize you even further?
If the academics are in order, if the eligibility is in order, if the compliance is in order, there’s a real possibility Bassey and WKU have, at the very least, considered it and discussed it.

May I tantalize you even further?!
After all, one of Western’s 2018 signees, four-star guard Dalano Banton, reclassified on the very same ideals of, “Why should I wait to make my dreams of playing Division I college basketball and professional basketball wait one more year?”
— Chad Bishop, again, in his weekly column
Does all of this seem too good to be true? Yes, especially after the Mitchell Robinson fiasco of 2017. However, I’m going to trust the 247Sports cyrstal ball predictions, knowing full well it just might bite me in the booty, and am going to imagine how much fun Hilltopper basketball is going to be for the next, I don’t know, half decade (or, hopefully, longer if this recruiting trend continues).
