"But just because no 5-star freshman made the Final Four, that doesn’t mean there aren’t high school standouts who are represented. Sindarius Thornwell was the No. 32 recruit in the 2013 class and South Carolina’s P.J. Dozier was the No. 25 recruit in the 2015 class.
Gonzaga meanwhile has a McDonald’s All-American on their team in the form of transfer Nigel Williams-Goss. He orginally committed to Washington out of high school."
