Class of 2020 Rankings Update: First Look
Evan Flood
<p>An early look at what's in store for the next rankings update in Wisconsin's 2020 class...</p>
<p><strong>Who will grab the fourth spot?</strong></p>
<p>It just has always felt really fluid between <strong>Carter Gilmore</strong> (Arrowhead), <strong>Isaac Lindse</strong>y (Mineral Point), and <strong>Dalton Bank</strong>s (Eau Claire North) at the 4,5, and 6 spots. You can make a really strong case for either of the three at No. 4 and each is so different that it's difficult to split to hairs.</p>
<p>In terms of high major potential/upside, Gilmore certainly stands out in that regard. The 6-foot-7 junior is a versatile point forward who can score off the dribble and create for others. In the right system, he can certainly hold his own at that level.</p>
<p>Banks has had a tremendous spring with D1 Minnesota. On a roster full of talent, Banks has proven to be the straw that stirs the drink.</p>
<p>As for Lindsey, he left a great last impression at Spiece Run N' Slam, lighting up a loaded Indiana Elite squad.</p>
<p>We're going to see both Gilmore and Lindsey this weekend at Wisconsin's team camp and make a judgment then.</p>
<p><strong>High Upside Big Men Emerging</strong></p>
<p>This 2020 class has a number of forward prospects with high ceilings who are starting to show strong flashes. It's always difficult to rank prospects, knowing their best days are still down the road.</p>
<p><strong>Alex Antentokounmpo</strong> (Dominican), <strong>Alex Leach</strong> (Brookfield Academy), <strong>Malik Abdul-Wahid</strong> (Brookfield Central), <strong>Darius Hannah</strong> (Milwaukee Academy of Science), <strong>Delaware Hale</strong> (Sun Prairie), <strong>Jacob Newhouse</strong> (Kaukauna), and <strong>Shilo Bowles</strong> (West Allis Central) are all forwards who have impressed this spring and have a chance to develop into terrific college prospects. </p>
<p>Trying to determine which of these prospects are peaking right now and which ones will emerge down the road will be difficult with this crop.</p>
