Jonathan Kuminga and Adama Sanogo of The Patrick School and Canadians Charles Bediako and Josh Primo headline the list of high school stars invited to the prestigious Basketball Without Borders camp over All-Star weekend in Chicago Feb. 14-16.
The 6-foot-8 Kuminga is originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo and is now the No. 1-ranked player in the Class of 2021 and a projected Top-10 NBA pick next year. The 6-10 Sanogo is originally from Mali.
Bediako, the 6-foot-11, 215-pound big from Andrews Osborne Academy (CA), recently picked up a scholarship offer from Louisville to go along with offers from Michigan State in November and Duke in December. Despite rumblings that Bediako, ranked No. 24 in the Class of 2021 by ESPN.com, may reclass to 2020, his AAU coach says he will remain in the 2021 group.
Primo, a 6-6 guard from UPlay Canada and the Royal Crown Academic School in Mississauga, holds offers from Oregon, Utah and Alabama, among others. He recently visited Alabama.
Among the other high-profile high-school players invited are Rafael Pinzon of Long Island Lutheran/N.Y. (Puerto Rico), Moussa Diabate of IMG Academy/FL (France) and Moussa Cisse of Lausanne Collegiate/TN (Guinea.)
