Jalen Suggs, 6-5, 195, Guard, St. Paul, Minn. (Minnehaha)
Suggs wraps up arguably the best recruiting class in program history, which ranks seventh on ESPN.com. Individually, Suggs is the highest-ranked recruit to ever sign with the Zags. The 6-5, 195-pound guard ranks fifth in ESPN's Top-100 list in the Class of 2020.
 
Suggs, a St. Paul, Minn., native, averaged 23.5 points per game during his senior season at Minnehaha Academy. He also averaged 7.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 3.8 steals per game helping the Redhawks to a 26-3 record and No. 13 national ranking. As a junior, he averaged 24.2 points, 6.5 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 3.7 steals per game. Since beginning his high school career in 2016-17, Minnehaha went 111-15 and won three straight state 2A titles. He finished with 2,945 career points, 883 rebounds, 735 assists, 509 steals and 103 blocked shots in 154 career games.
 
Suggs is the second signee in program history to be named a McDonald's All-American, joining former GU standout Zach Collins. Suggs was one of five finalists for the Naismith High School Boys National Player of the Year. He became the first athlete in state history to win the Mr. Football and Mr. Basketball awards in the same year. He was a four-star dual-threat quarterback who had more than a dozen college football offers.
 
Suggs won three gold medals with Team USA at the 2019 FIBA U19 World Cup, 2018 FIBA U17 World Cup and 2017 FIBA Americas U16 Championship.
 
"We are very excited to have Jalen join the program," Few said. "He has a really bright future, and I look forward to working with him. It has been great getting to know his family through the process."
