How every 5-star men's college basketball commit fits at his new school

There are 18 five-stars atop the ESPN 100 player rankings for the men's college basketball class of 2026. Entering the July live period, just one player (JaShawn "JJ" Andrews) had committed, but now there's one more joining the mix: ESPN 100 No. 4 Jason Crowe announced Friday he was committing to Missouri, giving the Tigers their highest ranked recruit since Michael Porter Jr. in 2017.

ESPN's Jeff Borzello will be tracking every five-star commitment announcement as it happens this season, and break down how it happened, the fit and more.
