Alonzo Gaffney's talent level has never been in question. However, the three-star prospect's production never quite met expectations. That has changed in drastic fashion as the Ohio Basketball Club star played the part of an elite, blueblood recruit on Saturday.

Blessed with great length, athleticism and an improved skillset, it is like the light turned on overnight for Gaffney. Ohio State offered on Friday and Kansas jumped into the mix on Saturday. Gaffney's father played at Cincinnati, and the Bearcats were present at each of his games, but keeping the 2019 star in-state is going to be difficult. Louisville has already gained traction with him and it is only a matter of time before other nationally prominent programs jump into the mix as well.
