Ranking the top 10 for Duke basketball target Charles Bediako: Baylor

6. team. 460. . . . Bears

Baylor head coach Scott Drew and his gang have certainly turned some heads already in the 2021 recruiting cycle. In fact, they currently sit with the No. 1 class after landing three top 100 prospects, including two inside the top 30. And as Rivals insider Eric Bossi explained, essentially all that’s missing for that crop is a talented post prospect like Charles Bediako:

“…After being overlooked until the last minutes on a few of their most recent additions, nobody is sleeping on Scott Drew and the Bears in this one. They already have the No. 1 class to this point with versatile forwards Kendall Brown and Jeremy Sochan to go along with scoring guard Langston Love, so they can afford to aim high for a big to anchor the group.”

Whatever the Bears have been doing of late, well, it’s obviously working. Whether it will work for Bediako, though, remains to be seen.
