BrandonClayScouting.com: RJ Barrett releases a Final Five

R.J. Barrett of Canada has narrowed his list to five schools: Arizona, Duke, Kentucky, Michigan and Oregon. The five-star prospect was firmly entrenched in the No. 1 spot inside of the Class of 2019 just a month ago. Then Barrett decided to reclassify into the 2018 class and was behind Marvin Bagley III. Now Bagley has moved into the Class of 2017 re-opening the discussion for Barrett to possibly sit at No. 1 once again. His main competition for that spot in the 2018 class is YouTube phenom Zion Williamson of Spartanburg, S.C. For now, know that Barrett is much more likely to spend just nine months in college than any other prospect nationally regardless of class.
