It looks like 247sports.com has released its final top 150 MBB recruiting rankings, and Stanford's class of 2020 is looking solid (listings are formatted as national rankings for 247sports/247sports composite):
Ziaire Williams (4/5), consensus 5 stars, #1 SF per 247sports
Max Murrell (79/118), consensus 4 stars, #14 PF
Brandon Angel (123/213), 4 star for 247sports, 3 star for composite, #25 PF
Noah Taitz (219/169), consensus 3 stars, #32 SG
Of course, the noticeable omission for the incoming class is point guard.
Per the 247sports composite, Stanford's MBB class is ranked #15 nationally, #2 in the Pac-12 (behind Arizona). Of course, these rankings will change between now and if/when the school year starts. For example, at the moment, Oregon and UCLA have only one 2020 commit each. However, the vast majority of the top 150 players have committed or decided to turn pro. Again, per 247sports composite, the only undecided players are #16, #61, #106, #107, #111, #121, #122, #143, #150. (I'm assuming that there are still quality transfers out there as well, although I don't think they would be included in the recruiting class rankings for 2020.)
For those looking ahead to 2021, Stanford MBB commit Isael Silva is the #4 rated PG at the moment.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
