The point guard and primary Bearcats target has been on Wes Miller's radar since he arrived as head coach in Clifton and its kept UC in the mix for a player that could be the best in the country when the dust settles on this class.

At 6-foot-3, 180 pounds, Collier is viewed as the best pure passer in the country. He has lit up nearly every opponent his Skill Factory AAU squad faced this summer and still has UC in a top-four with UCLA, Michigan, and USC.

According to On3, UC is the favorite to land Collier at 29.8%. He would be the third five-star recruit to sign with UC in the 247Sports era.

Collier isn't lacking in love from the other major recruiting services either: Rivals (No. 4), On3 (No. 2), and ESPN (No. 14).
