Where Kentucky targets landed in On3's updated 2025 basketball player rankings

The summer months are an important stretch for high school basketball evaluators. Between the AAU circuit, shoe company camps, international tournaments, and much more, there is almost too much basketball to soak in.

But our good friends at On3 do it better than anyone else. On Monday afternoon, the recruiting rankings team dropped an updated look at the Top 150 player rankings for the 2025 class ahead of the upcoming high school season. This is the fifth update to 2025 since expanding the list to 150 players and the first update since June. A lot has changed during that time.

But what hasn’t changed is the top two players in this cycle, which continue to be AJ Dybantsa and Cameron Boozer, respectively. Unfortunately, Dybantsa is no longer considering Kentucky while Boozer remains a longshot. There is a new No. 3 though and he’s being recruited heavily by Wildcats’ head coach Mark Pope. That would be Nate Ament, who had a huge summer on the adidas 3SSB circuit for Team Loaded (VA).

But what about the rest of Kentucky’s favorite rising high school senior targets? Where did they land in On3’s newest update? Let’s dive in and find out. Pope has yet to land a 2025 recruit at this stage, but that could change in the coming months. There are certainly plenty of talented options out there.
