In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the top recruits that the Butler Coaching Staff is targeting for the 2019-2020 season. These are players who have the potential to make an immediate impact and help lead the Bulldogs to continued success on the court.

Top 5 recruits

1. Zion Williamson – Zion Williamson is a 6’7″ Power Forward from Spartanburg, South Carolina He is ranked as the No. 1 player in the country by ESPN and is considered a once-in-a-generation talent. Williamson has phenominal athleticism and is an excellent dunker. He dominated at the High School level, averaging 32.6 points, 13.7 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game as a senior. He has drawn comparisons to Lebron James and is expected to be one of the Top Picks in the 2019 NBA draft

2. RJ Barrett – RJ Barrett is a 6’7″ shooting guard from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. He is ranked as the No. 2 player in the country by ESPN and is considered one of the best scorers in the country. Barrett averaged 28.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 4 assists per game as a senior in high school en route to being named the Gatorade National Player of the Year. He has committed to playing college basketball at Duke University next season where he will team up with low top recruit Zion Williamson

3. Bol Bol – Bol Bol is a 7’2″ center from Olango Island, Philippines who currently attends high school in Santa Ana, California. He is ranked as the No 10 player in the country by ESPN but was previously seen as a possible No 1 overall pick before suffering a foot injury that caused him to miss most of his senior season. Bol averaged 21 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 blocks per game before his injury and has been compared to NBA Star Kristaps Porzingis due to his unique combination of size and skill for a big man.

4. Romeo Langford – Romeo Langford is a 6’6″ shooting guard from New Albany, Indiana who played his college basketball at Indiana University last season as a freshman where he was named Mr Basketball USA after averaging 27 points per game during his high school career.. Langford was considered one of the top recruits in 2018 but fell outside of ESPN’s Top 10 due to his decision to play College Basketball instead of going straight to the NBA like many other elite recruits have done recently (such as Zion Williamson). Romeo langford isn’t expected to be taken until late in the first round or early in the second round of this year’s NBA Draft but could prove to be a steal for whatever team ultimately winds up drafting him based on his tremendous scoring ability and potential ceiling as a player..

5 Cameron Reddish – Cameron Reddish is a 6’8″ small forward from Norcross, Georgia who played last season as a freshman at Duke University where he averaged 13 points and 3 rebounds per game while playing mostly off the bench behind fellow freshman stars RJ Barrett and Zion Williamson . Reddish was considered one of the top recruits coming out of high school where he was ranked No 3 by ESPN but has seen his stock fall slightly after an up-and-down freshman season at Duke where he struggled with consistency at times.. Despite his inconsistencies during his first year of College Basketball Reddish still possess tremendous upside and potential thanks to his size (6’8″), athleticism ,and shooting ability which make him an intriguing prospect heading into this year’s NBA Draft where he projected to be selected somewhere late in lottery..
