2018 guard Torrence Watson includes Butler, Creighton and Marquette in Top 8

2018 three-star Torrence Watson revealed his Top 8 schools on Friday afternoon, and the Butler Bulldogs, Creighton Bluejays and Marquette Golden Eagles have made the cut.

The three Big East programs join the Kansas State Wildcats, Michigan Wolverines, Missouri Tigers, Saint Louis Billikens and Vanderbilt Commodores, who are all still in the running for the Whitfield School shooting guard.

Watson is recognized as a three-star via 247Sports Composite, but 247Sports on their own have him as a four-star. He’s listed as the third-best player in the state of Missouri, with only SLU commit Carte’Are Gordon and Louisville Cardinals commit Courtney Ramey ahead of him as of right now.

Only one prediction has been made so far about Watson’s future via 247Sports’ Crystal Ball. That pick, made by recruiting expert Andrew Slater, has him staying in the Show Me State and going to SLU.

This will be one to keep an eye on going forward.
