We are all waiting for Jon Kuminga to make his decision and reclassification announcement...For whatever reason, commitment dates have been reported, whether they were June 16 or June 22. In fact, Kuminga had never actually set a timetable for his decision. He has finalized his school list to a group of four while also including the G League among his finalists, but that is all that he has had to say.

I would be rather shocked if Kuminga plays a minute of college basketball. Kuminga has not officially said it, but I believe he will make the move into the 2020 class and the G League is where he will spend his year between high school and the NBA beginning in the fall. There were overseas opportunities that Kuminga could have taken, but at this time staying domestic and competing alongside Jalen Green, Daishen Nix and a few others will likely be the route that he takes.

If there is one college that can potentially lure Kuminga in it is Texas Tech. The Red Raiders have invested the most time recruiting him in recent weeks and they have a strong in-road thanks to his brother, Joel Ntambwe, being a member of the program.

He is not going to Duke or Kentucky. Auburn could work its way into contention, but Texas Tech looks like the only school that could convince him to go the college route. However, that is going to take a lot of work. For now, the G League is the best bet.
