ACC Basketball: Ranking the 2017 Recruiting Classes
By Alec Lasley
Now that basically all of the rosters are in order for the upcoming year, it’s time to look at which team ranks where.
Though basketball season is still five months away, it’s never too early to talk about hoops.
As you remember, the Tar Heels won the 2017 NCAA Championship this past April, but the ACC, as a whole, had a poor showing in the tournament.
What was considered to be the best conference in the nation, and one of the best in recent history, if not all time, the ACC will have a lot of new faces come November.
The ACC set a record with 10 first round selections in this past months NBA Draft, so there are high expectations for the incoming players.
Not only did they lose a lot, the ACC also gained a lot. They have 20 players in the top 100, with nine of those coming in the top 30, so there is no question they will have one of the best conferences for young talent.
The ACC is also represented by nine different teams in the top 100.
With many star players from almost every team departing, it is time for some of the top incoming recruits to make a name for themselves in college basketball. Who will be the next big star to play in the conference? Only time will tell.
Here we rank the incoming recruiting classes from each of the ACC schools, with each player ranking being taken from 247 Sports.
