5-star PG Robert Dillingham announces final 4 schools

Ahead of announcing his commitment Friday, Charlotte (N.C.) Donda Academy five-star point guard Robert Dillingham announces his final schools of Auburn, Kentucky, Louisville and USC.

Dillingham is the No. 3 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

He is also the No. 3 prospect in the 2023 On3 rankings.

The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine gives Kentucky an 80.8% chance of landing Dillingham, making the Wildcats a heavy favorite to snag the top-three prospect.

RPM was released to the public in December. The On3 engineering group teamed up with Spiny.ai to create the industry’s first algorithm and machine learning-based product to predict where athletes will attend college. 

It factors in machine learning, social sentiment, visits and historical trends. However, expert predictions are still a big piece of the RPM equation.

Dillingham currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $136k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
