There are currently 18 five-stars atop the ESPN 100 player rankings for the men's college basketball class of 2026. Three are off the board as of early September: No. 12 JaShawn Andrews was the first of this group, announcing his commitment to Arkansas in May. He was followed in July by No. 4 Jason Crowe, who gave Missouri its first five-star recruit since 2017. Most recently, coach Dennis Gates landed his second five-star recruit in the 2026 class in No. 14 Toni Bryant. And the Tigers are still heavily in the mix for more ESPN 100 players.
