USC makes top 5 for SG Joshua Christopher

Reaching as high as the eighth-best prospect in the country last summer, Joshua Christopher hasn’t fallen out of the top 15 overall prospects in the class of 2020 of basketball recruits. He recently updated his top five schools, saying this list is the new and improved top schools of choice for him.

It’s hard NOT to notice the fact that the Trojans boldly fall right in place above a crossed-out Kentucky team and land in the top five with Missouri, Arizona State, Michigan and UCLA.

Christopher is a 6’5, 215-pound shooting guard from Mayfair High School in Lakewood and currently ranks as the nation’s 11th-best prospect and fourth-best shooting guard, according to Rivals.

We’ll know more as the time comes to it, but as it stands now, National Signing Day for basketball athletes isn’t until August 1, so we’ll have plenty of time for speculation.

Until then, we can take a look at some of Christopher’s highlights, thanks to Rivals.
