Reranking the men's basketball recruiting class of 2024
Cooper Flag remains No. 1 in this high school class -- but we admit to some mistakes for the rest of the list.
Rimside Brief
Cooper Flagg, a forward wearing jersey #32 for the Dallas Mavericks, continues to sit atop the 2024 high‑school recruiting class. His season averages of 21.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists over 70 games illustrate why he remains the top prospect.
The new ranking acknowledges that the rest of the list contains a few errors, but it still reflects the overall depth of this year’s talent pool. Readers should keep an eye on how the revised order reshapes expectations for college programs and future NBA pipelines.
Meanwhile, the NBA landscape remains competitive, as shown by the Los Angeles Clippers’ current 42‑40 record, a #9 seed in the Western Conference and a power‑ranking of #16. The performance of teams like the Clippers underscores the environment that incoming rookies from this class will eventually join.
