Recruiting: Top-ranked point guard has Maryland, North Carolina firmly in mix

Anderson, reflecting on his recruitment process, said to Chad Simmons of Rivals, "I’ve gotten a lot of offers. A few I can think of are UNC, Alabama, Maryland, Georgia, and Georgia Tech. There’s more, too; those are recent, though."

When mentioning the schools recruiting him, Anderson also touched on Maryland and noted how its staff reached out promptly once they were allowed to do so.

"They’ve been on me ever since I can remember," Anderson explained. "They called me at, like, 11:59 on day one. It’s a great bond going on with them, you know."

Scout profile Anderson is a 6-foot-4 guard, a big, strong athlete who has a big-time motor that runs at all times. He is a lefty with an excellent ball-handler who always goes downhill and uses his body to shield defenders driving in the paint at finishing the basket. He has the speed to separate from defenders and hit open jump shots. He will still have to work on his jump shot, as well as other aspects of his game.

Anderson is looking for a school that will cater to his skill set as a point guard and also make him feel at home, regardless of where he attends, as he may be away from his family.

“When I’m looking into my recruiting, I want to see who’s going to cater to my position,” Anderson said. I would like to work a lot as a point guard. I have a big job at the one spot, so I would like a school that’s going to cater to my position, but also a school that’s going to make me feel at home. Being away from family, if that’s the case. So, just having that homey feel wherever I go.”
