#2: Gonzaga Bulldogs
The Bulldogs successfully brought in number one ranked Chet Holmgren a week ago. He is the most exciting player in his class because of his unicorn skill set. They have paired him up with another five-star prospect in Hunter Sallins. Together, they are easily the best freshman duo entering college basketball. They have also added another four-star prospect in Kaden Perry, which makes them a scary team once again.
