With Jones, I would say this is the best recruiting class in the past 20 years at least. My thinking is based on the fact that #1 ranked players (and Jones is #1 according to ProspectsNation) have such an oversized impact on team success (e.g. Candace Parker, Maya Moore, Breanna Stewart). The Chiney-lead class comes close because she definitely was that transformational type of player. However if you compare the high school resumes of Sara James and Toni Kokenis vs Belibi, Prechtel and Jump, I would say the latter win out. Neither James nor Kokenis made a USA basketball team and Belibi has done that twice. Plus Belibi is arguably the best athlete in her entire class and has a ton of upside. Prechtel came very close to making 2 different national teams and has a lot of upside as well. And Jump is likely one of the best shooters in her class.
