This time last year, Collin Sexton was in the middle of his ascent into superstardom. A top-100 prospect in the spring, Sexton evolved into a top-50 recruit and then finally settled into the argument as the best within his position on the floor. Nassir Little is experiencing a similar storyline a year later, having cemented his argument to be a five-star recruit.

One of the most watched prospects this past week, Little has become a priority recruit for the top programs nationally. While they have not offered yet, UNC began to show attention while head coaches from Arizona, Kansas, St. John's, Georgia Tech, Florida, Miami and Florida State watched Little during the first evaluation period. Little will visit Georgia Tech at the end of August for his first official visit and while where he plays in college is still in question, what is not is the fact that Little is now heavily in contention for the best small forward prospect in the 2018 class.

Is he actually the best SF in the 2018 class?  That seems like a stretch

Certainly sounds like the kid is beyond blowing up and has totally blown up. Let's hope we can fend off the greedy, hoarding Dukes and Kentuckys of the world.

Saw a lot of great stuff yesterday at our events and Nassir Little was a bad, bad man. One of the best players I've seen this year.

Meyer -

Nassir Little is the most urgent ranking adjustment coming out of this period. Easily a top 10 prospect in 2018. Total package for a 3/4.

IMO, we need this recruitment to end within the next month or two or certainly during the early, signing period to have any chance to land Little.  If it lingers into the spring, then it'll probably be strictly a battle of the "one-and-done" schools (Kentucky, Duke, and Kansas), along with a couple of other "blue-blood" schools in Arizona and, possibly, UNC, and the "Sunshine State" schools (Florida, Florida State, and Miami). 

I believe any other schools outside of those mentioned won't stand a chance or will already have been eliminated, if this goes into April or May '18. 


NASSIR LITTLE NEEDS A BUMP

It’s quite possible that no prospect in the 2018 class is being as heavily recruited as Little. Because of his talent level and how accessible he is for coaches, he still has schools all over the country feeling like they have a shot to sign him. Head coaches from Arizona, Florida, Georgia Tech, Miami, North Carolina and Miami watched him at different point this weekend with Mike White and Josh Pastner being the regulars.

The reason he’s become such a hot recruit is simple. He’s a 6-foot-6 wing with elite athleticism and a motor that doesn’t stop. His jump shot looks as strong as it has ever been. While his handle could be an area for improvement, he’s efficient with it and has some moves in his repertoire that NBA players don’t have. Defensively, he’s locked in and he’s great on the boards. This weekend he looked like a top 10 prospect in the 2018 class.[/i]

Nassir Little moves into top 10 of Top247. Jalen Smith now a five-star. Others make moves in 4-star range.

2. Which player is the most talked about among college coaches?

Dan McDonald: This one is easy. Every coach in the building, whether they were recruiting him or not, wanted to talk about Nassir Little. He's become an elite, can't-miss prospect. His strong, athletic body at 6-foot-6 combined with his overall skill-set have coaches thinking he'll be an NBA player before long. Mike White and Josh Pastner were following him around most of the weekend. Sean Miller, Chris Mullin, Roy Williams and Jim Larranaga made appearances at his games as well. Coaches talk about not only how great of a prospect he is, but also wanted to speculate on where he might end up.
