Sophomore-to-be Baye Fall has been turning heads around the halls of Lutheran High School for awhile.
Now the 6-foot-11 Senegal native is getting attention nationally, with Fall ranked among the top 10 Class of 2023 recruits in the nation by ESPN on Tuesday morning. Fall came in at No. 6 in the initial rankings, with LeBron James’ son Bronny also on the list at No. 24.

Fall is currently the only Colorado high school boys basketball player listed on any of ESPN’s rankings for the 2021-23 classes. To see the complete rankings, .
