5/30 update: One more big board update to close out the month from Kevin O’Connor (Yahoo Sports) who has Cedric Coward all the way up at #5!

---

Coming in hot with this month’s big board comparison, as June is just around the corner. Luckily, we have a fresh big board update from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo (ESPN) as of this morning! We also have boards from Kevin O’Connor (Yahoo Sports), the No Ceilings crew, J. Kyle Mann and Danny Chau (The Ringer) and Tankathon.

There are various changes to check out after the NCAA withdrawal deadline came and went this week, including 18 from ESPN’s top 100 list who opted to return to school and take advantage of NIL deals.

Keep checking back, as I’ll be updating this post as more big boards are released this month. And follow @hoopsdistillery on Twitter for update alerts or search #bigboardcomp.
