Chris Beard’s work on the recruiting trail has already begun, even less than a week into his tenure. With Kai Jones already off to the NBA and Jericho Sims more than likely right behind him, Texas is going to be in need of big men next season. Charles Bediako could provide relief from the 2021 class.
The four-star center from IMG Academy released his top five schools on Thursday, with Texas making the cut with some elite basketball programs. Duke, Michigan, and Ohio State were on the list, plus Alabama.
Bediako is one of the highest-rated uncommitted prospects left in the 2021 class. Landing the center would be the perfect start in the recruiting circuit for Beard.
