Hunter Dickinson, one of the top center prospects within the 2020 class, has begun to focus a greater amount of time into his recruitment. After leading a high-major recruitment since practically his freshman year, the top-30 big man has trimmed his college list to a final seven. Arguably the most polished center in high school basketball, attaining offers and priority attention from some of the nation’s best has never been a difficult task for the 7-footer. After completing his senior summer on the travel circuit, Dickinson told Rivals.com that Florida State, Louisville, Michigan, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Providence and Purdue are the seven programs that he has settled upon for where he will attend college next fall.
