Briarcrest's Kennedy Chandler is 5-star prospect according to ESPN

Briarcrest Christian's Kennedy Chandler moved up over 20 spots in the latest ESPN 60 rankings for the Class of 2021. The junior point guard was previously No. 43. Now he's No. 18 and a five-star prospect. 

Since leading Briarcrest Christian to its first state title in over a decade in March, Chandler's recruiting stock rose rapidly. A strong summer on the EYBL circuit with Mokan Elite culminated in a Peach Jam title.

Chandler holds offers from Memphis, Kansas, Michigan, and USC among others. He is the No. 2 junior prospect in the state according to ESPN behind recent Lausanne transfer Moussa Cisse who is ranked No. 9 overall. 

Wooddale's Johnathan Lawson (No. 43), Lausanne's Alden Applewhite (No. 48) and Trezevant's Jalen Brown (No. 55) are also in the ESPN rankings.
