Minnehaha Academy rising senior Jalen Suggs scored 15 points to help lead USA Basketball to a 93-79 victory over Mali on Sunday to win the gold medal at the FIBA Under-19 World Cup tournament in Heraklion, Greece.

Suggs, the No. 2-ranked point guard in the Rivals.com Class of 2020, won his third championship in three summers with USA Basketball.

He is being recruited for Division I basketball and football. Suggs led the Redhawks to a third consecutive Class 2A state basketball tournament title in March and quarterbacked the football team to a state championship in November.

In Greece, he was being evaluated by coaches from Gonzaga, Minnesota and Iowa State. He told 247Sports recently that he was looking to choose a college in early August and that Gonzaga was "definitely at the top.''

Iowa, Marquette and Michigan also are on his list.
