South Carolina is among the five schools with the best chance to land Spartanburg Day basketball star Zion Williamson, according to national recruiting experts.

Williamson is the most-hyped high school prospect since LeBron James graduated directly to the pros nearly 15 years ago. The 6-foot-6 small forward has already racked up millions of views on YouTube with his highlight-reel dunks, appeared several times on ESPN’s SportsCenter and built a massive following on social media.

The Lexington (Ky.) Herald-Leader asked five national recruiting analysts — Rivals.com’s Corey Evans, Scout.com’s Evan Daniels, ESPN’s Jeff Borzello, and Jerry Meyer and Andrew Slater of 247Sports — to weigh in Williamson’s recruitment.
