<p>It is always fun to look at previous classes and see where guys are now. The 2020 high school class was an interesting one. They are the ones who had to play their freshmen seasons <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/25/sport/ncaa-basketball-season-covid-19-spt-intl">coming out of a pandemic</a>. They were also the first class eligible for the <a href="https://ignite.gleague.nba.com/">G-League Ignite</a> program.</p>



<p>There were <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/consensus-player/basketball/2020/">20 consensus five-stars</a> in the 2020 high school class. Sixteen of the players chose the college route, and four of them chose to play for the G-League Ignite program. Eighteen of the 20 five-stars were one-and-done guys and entered the <a href="https://www.nba.com/news/2021-nba-draft-results-picks-1-60">2021 NBA Draft</a>. Seven of the top ten players drafted in 2021 were out of the 2020 high school class. <a href="https://goheels.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/caleb-love/23545">Caleb Love</a> and <a href="https://okstate.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/moussa--cisse/10404">Moussa Cisse</a> are the only two players who remain in college. </p>



<p>While On3 did not do individual rankings, the <a href="https://www.on3.com/news/on3-consensus-ratings-rankings/">On3 Consensus</a> dates back to the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/consensus-player/basketball/2009/">2009 high school class</a>. The On3 Consensus is a proprietary algorithm that equally compiles ratings and rankings from all four of the major recruiting media services. </p>



<p>Let’s go through the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/consensus-player/basketball/2020/">2020 On3 Consensus</a> five-stars and see where they are now, just two full seasons removed from high school.</p>
