Recruiting Trail: Charles Bassey, Western Kentucky Forward

October 12, 2018
Charles Bassey reclassified to 2018 and joined Western Kentucky as a five-star prospect.

Charles Bassey's decision to reclassify from 2019 to 2018 made him the centerpiece of Western Kentucky's basketball program. The 6-foot-10, 220-pound forward from Nigeria dominates with shot-blocking and rebounding.

Bassey models his game after Anthony Davis, developing agility and footwork from his soccer background. His dominant presence in the paint positioned him as a potential first-round pick in the NBA Draft.
