The No. 3 -ranked small forward in the Class of 2020 per 247Sports.com Barnes will also visit Florida State (Sept. 27), Ohio State (Oct. 4) and Miami (Oct. 18).

“With Scottie, that kid to me has such great energy and passion for basketball,” Montverde coach Kevin Boyle said. “He’s got such a great motor. He loves to play. To me, he’s a can’t miss lottery NBA player in the sense of giving you an immediate contribution for your team. I mean, he can guard multiple positions. He could rebound, he could facilitate. Now he needs to define himself more offensively to be a higher level player, but he’s a can’t-miss successful player that can contribute right away where a lot of lottery picks don’t. I can’t see how he’s not a top-five lottery pick. He just brings it and competes.”
