2024 5-star wing Naasir Cunningham down to 5 schools

Naasir Cunningham, a five-star small forward in the 2024 class, has narrowed his list of offers down to five schools: Duke, Kansas, Memphis, Rutgers, and UCLA.

The 6-foot-7 junior is currently playing for Overtime Elite in Atlanta as a scholarship player, meaning he didn’t accept a salary and therefore has maintained his college eligibility.

Rutgers, UCLA, and Duke have each hosted Cunningham on unofficial visits.

Cunningham, a West Orange, NJ native, plans to take an unofficial visit to Memphis next week.

As of this writing, Cunningham says he doesn’t plan to make a decision anytime soon.

Scouting Report

Naasir Cunningham Scouting Report from Jamie Shaw:

“Naasir Cunningham is a long, rangy, and athletic wing prospect. You first notice the frame, he looks like a basketball player. Offensively, Cunningham is an adept shot-making, extending out to three, off the catch. He will need to continue putting on weight and getting stronger. He is an explosive athlete, which he shows in transition. His length, positional size, and quick-twitch athleticism give the belief he can become a good team defender in time. Would like to see him attack the basket more, his tendency to settle for jump shots render him inefficient and ineffective at times, but he does have an ability to create space and knock down shots. His flashes will need to start turning into consistency and production, but his flashes can be impressive and his upside is high.”
