(Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images)With college basketball about to start and the early signing period right around the corner, ESPN’s staff ranked its No. 1 recruits since the Worldwide Leader began evaluating prospects with the Class of 2007. The panel considered players’ high school, college, and NBA careers, along with where they were selected in the NBA Draft.
A very familiar name is at the top. Anthony Davis, Class of 2011, is No. 1 thanks to an incredible growth spurt in high school, his national championship year at Kentucky, and budding success in the NBA.
