Scuggs said he's hearing the most from Illinois, Kansas, Michigan State, Indiana, Purdue, Xavier and Wake Forest, while he added Kentucky but the Wildcats are the only school mentioned that haven't offered him a scholarship.
The 6-foot-4 Scruggs is ranked as the No. 30 player and No. 4 shooting guard in the Class of 2017 by Scout.com.
The 6-foot-7 Wilkes is hearing the most from Indiana, Illinois, Purdue, Xavier, Butler and Kansas, while his play this week at the Under Armour Association Finals is likely to draw even more interest.
Wilkes is ranked as the No. 17 player in the '17 class, while he checks in as the No. 3 small forward.
