Five-star guard Dylan Harper is one of the best players in the class of 2024, and the New Jersey guard is being recruited by another five-star to come join him in the Big Ten. That player?
[autotag]Airious Bailey[/autotag], a five-star commit to Rutgers basketball.
Having committed to Rutgers earlier this year, Bailey is the highest-ranked verbal in program history. The standout from Georgia is the No. 15 player in the nation according to 247Sports.
Harper is the second-best player in the nation and has a top five that includes Rutgers basketball. Over the weekend during the USA Basketball Mini Camp in Houston, he spoke with 247Sports about the five schools that are recruiting him when Bailey interrupted their interview.
The conversation shifted to Bailey, who appears to be recruiting Harper to Rutgers:
“He’s always calling me, texting me, DM’ing me all the time,” Harper said of Bailey in his conversation with 247 Sports. “He is telling me we can win a ‘natty’ [National Championship] together and I really believe we could. I am really going to take that into thought.”
There are currently two commits to the 2024 recruiting class for Rutgers basketball. The aforementioned Bailey is a huge piece for the Big Ten program’s future. [autotag]Dellquan Warren[/autotag], a four-star guard and a top-75 recruit, committed to Rutgers in late December.

Were Harper to commit to Rutgers, then the Scarlet Knights potentially could have the top-ranked class in the nation.
