Let’s face it. The Champions Classic was going to be loaded this year anyway.
Kentucky, Duke and Michigan State already had the Nos. 1, 2 and 3-ranked recruiting classes in 2016 according to Scout.com and 247Sports.com.
But now with Josh Jackson’s commitment to Kansas, the Jayhawks are up to No. 7 on Scout and No. 13 on 247Sports.com.
On Nov. 15 at Madison Square Garden, Duke, which figures to be the preseason No. 1 team in most polls, will face Kansas, while Kentucky meets Michigan State.
