The end of travel season and Live Evaluation Periods brings an update to the 2025 On3 150

The 2025 On3 150 player rankings have been updated. This is the eighth update for this class, debuting a top 50 in September of 2022 and expanding that 50 to 75 in March of 2023. We first broadened our 2025 class rankings to a full 150 in July of 2023, and this is our fifth update since fully expanding the list. This August 2024 update is based on 1) in-person evaluations since the beginning of the travel ball season and 2) continued film study and intel on prospects.

Updated 2025 Player Rankings

Since the last update in June, the On3 team has attended numerous travel ball and circuit events along with independent events, scholastic team camps, and multiple live periods. With numerous showcases and events taking place every week(end), On3 has also collected streams and combed through the film as we ensure the maximum exposure of countless events and players.

The ranking process is a continual and often fluid one. On3 starts ranking recruits after their freshman-year travel season, prior to the start of their sophomore high school seasons. That recruit can look a lot different for our final ranking after their senior year championships and all-star games are played.

We have spent the last several weeks working on this 2025 update so that it will reflect the most accurate and current representation of the recruiting cycle. This work has resulted in 29 players making their debut in the 2025 On3 150. We also have players represented in our 2025 ratings from six of the seven continents across the world. Our national team has continued collecting data on the previously ranked players, putting eyes through the 2025 On3 150 ranking process.

These players have ended the summer sessions of their travel ball seasons and have now played through five NCAA Live Evaluation periods as well as the singular Live Evaluation events, the NBPA Top 100 Camp and NCAA College Basketball Academy, since May. Our next 2025 On3 150 update is scheduled to drop in November, just before the Early Signing Period. With multiple updates remaining, there is still a lot of basketball to be played before this class cycle ends.

The goal of the basketball rankings at On3 is to assess a prospect’s long-term potential. As we continue forward, a player’s performance on the court and their continued growth will outweigh the earlier rankings. Again, every player’s arc is different, and each ranking is a snapshot in time. 

Updated 2025 Player Rankings

Here are some storylines from On3’s fourth update of a full 150 for the 2025 class. 

Grading the 2025 On3 150

The basketball player rankings scale is as follows: Five-star prospects have grades 98-100, four-star recruits have grades 90-97, and 80-89 grades are for three stars.

The first nine prospects are five starts with a rating of 98 or higher. The players ranked No. 10 to 110 are classified as four-star prospects with grades from 90-97. The remainder of the 150 and position rankings are considered three-star prospects. 

Our goal is to assess a prospect’s long-term potential, ultimately manifested by the NBA Draft. The goal of the ranking is not to assess who had the best high school career or who will be the best college player. This is why we will shoot to end each cycle with 14 five-star prospects following the lead of the NBA Draft Lottery. The vision is draft night.

AJ Dybantsa continues as the No. 1 player in the 2025 class

This was a quick conversation. We stated last year in August that AJ Dybantsa was the top overall prospect in high school basketball, and, in the time since, nothing has changed with that.

The 6-foot-8 small forward spent most of his June with the USA Basketball U17 Training Camp process. The multiple-week event brought out 33 players, from around the country, to Colorado Springs to compete for 12 roster spots. The team then flew straight to Istanbul, Turkey to compete in the FIBA U17 World Cup. En route to his second gold medal, Dybants averaged 14.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 1.6 steals while shooting 58.7 percent from the field.

Dybantsa is a lengthy wing, at 6-foot-8. He has athletic pop, both laterally and vertically. His ability to consistently create a scoring advantage with the ball in his hands is what sticks out the most about his game. His decisiveness on the ball gets him downhill toward the rim and his length and size allow him to rise up and shoot over would-be defenders.

The Five-Star Plus+ wing came back from Turkey to play in Nike’s Peach Jam. Through the 10-day, eight-game process, Dybantsa finished second overall in scoring. His 23.1 points on 48.3 percent shooting helped lead his Oakland Soldiers team to the Peach Jam Final game, going 7-1 overall for the event.

Cam Boozer, came in at No. 2 for this update. He has been the No. 2 player in all eight of the class of 2025 rating distributions. Boozer’s production is what keeps him so high in this class. The 6-foot-8 power forward, and son of former NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer, also won his second FIBA gold medal this summer, with USA Basketball. He was named the MVP of the FIBA U17 World Cup only to follow that up with another Peach Jam championship with his Nightrydas program.

When it comes to awards and championships, Boozer is as decorated of a player as we have seen in the past decade-plus of high school recruiting. Nate Ament, Darryn Peterson, and Chris Cenac round out the top five.

Kingston Flemings remains the top PG in the 2025 class

In our last update, San Antonio (TX) Brennan High’s Kingston Flemings jumped to the No. 1 point guard for the 2025 class. That did not change as the long-armed, 6-foot-3 point guard came in at No. 13 overall for the August update.

To this point in the cycle, Flemings has shown to be the best point-of-attack point guard in the class. He keeps the opposition’s lead guard from touching the paint and he puts his two feet in the paint often. Flemings has excellent length and is a consistent decision-maker, making quality reads, and showcasing the explosive burst to finish through and over contact.

Behind Flemings, there was some movement with Daytona Beach (FL) DME Academy’s Mikel Brown jumping to the No. 2, and No. 15 overall. Behind Brown, Zaragoza’s Felipe Minzer entered the rankings after a strong FIBA U17 and U18 showing, at No. 19 overall. The top five point guards round out with Arkansas commitment Darius Acuff at No. 20 overall and Miami (FL) Christopher Columbus’ Cayden Boozer remaining at No. 29 overall.

Five Stars capped at 9

The plan is to finish each full recruiting cycle with 14 five-star players. We may take a slow climb to get to the 14 number, or we could get there early. What we do not want to make a habit of is giving a player a fifth star and then taking that away. We try to keep the volatility around the five-star line at an absolute minimum throughout the process.

For this August update of the 2025 class, we have nine five-star players. No new five stars were added, but also no player had their fifth star taken away. The previous June update had 11 five stars, however, in the time since, both Will Riley (Illinois) and Moustapha Thiam (UCF) decided to reclassify and enroll in college a year early.

Here are the nine current five stars in the 2025 class.

Eighteen teams have players committed from the 2025 On3 150

South Carolina, Wisconsin, Marquette, Iowa State, Butler, and Providence each have two players committed from the updated 2025 On3 150. The highest-ranked committed player in the class is No. 20 overall Darius Acuff, a 6-foot-1 point guard from Bradenton (FL) IMG Academy, who committed to Arkansas in July.

Oklahoma, Florida, Tennessee, Missouri, Georgia Tech, Harvard, Gonzaga, USF, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Syracuse, and Georgia all have one player currently committed from the updated 2025 On3 150.

This leaves 126 players uncommitted as we exit the July Live Evaluation Periods and start to look toward fall visits and the November Early Signing Period. Currently, none of the five-star players are committed to schools.

Seventeen players make their debuts inside On3’s top 100 of the 2025 class

Seventeen players debuted in the 2025 On3 150 inside of the top 100 ranked players. Joventut Badalona (Spain) small forward Karim Lopez made the highest ranking debut at No. 16. Lopez is a lengthy and fluid wing, at 6-foot-8 who has excellent defensive instincts, attacks in transition, and a confident shooting stroke from range. Other players who entered the top 100.
