Four-star point guard prospect Jalen Cone announced Sunday night that he will re-classify and graduate high school this spring. He will make his college choice on Thursday, and there are six finalists: NC State, Virginia Tech, Tennessee, Wake Forest, Boston College (?!), and Texas A&M.
Cone had the option to graduate in 2020 as well. NC State has made him a priority and was willing to take him either year. Some of these schools have been recruiting him quite a while longer, though.
The 247Sports Crystal Ball only has three submissions from recruiting experts at this point, but all three have Cone picking Virginia Tech.
