2025 Rankings Update: ND Overview
In this article:
PHD updated the Prospect Rankings for the sophomore class in North Dakota. This group of players is talented! There are many skilled guards, shooters, and athletes. The amount of size/BIGs in this class is what really makes it special!
The high-profile name in this class is Mason Klabo Mason Klabo 6'2" | PG Fargo Davies | 2025 State #240 Nation ND who already holds D1 offers from NDSU, UND, and UNI. He is playing his AAU ball with Howard Pulley. Klabo will no doubt receive much more attention from college coaches as time goes on. With that being said, we have many other prospects with the potential to play at the D1, D2, D3, NAIA, and JUCO basketball.
Many of these players will be playing at Prep Hoops Live this weekend in Minneapolis. PHD is excited to see them hoop!

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE PROSPECT RANKINGS
How do you guys decide where a player gets ranked? Let me tell you….
North Dakota’s Prep Hoops prospect rankings are compiled by our writers with input from high school, AAU, and college coaches who watch a ton of North Dakota basketball. We put a lot of time and energy into it — probably too much! — and we are as diligent as we can possibly be to get it right. We never intentionally set out to bury a kid or leave them off the list. We try not to be biased — other than favoring kids with talent, grit, and a desire to get better. We work hard at being fair. But at the end of the day, not everyone will be happy, and that’s OK. Rankings are updated four times a year, October, January, March, and June. Here are some other important things you should know.
– College coaches have a lot of influence. If there is no clear consensus on the top players in each class, we give them the last word.
– AAU matters. In the winter update, we are obviously adding players who are having great high school seasons. This is the primary opportunity for athletes who don’t play AAU ball to make their mark. It is a reality, however, that players who do not play AAU are greatly diminishing their opportunity to make the prospect rankings. They are also limiting their opportunities to play college basketball since being seen by 10 coaches is statistically less likely to yield the desired result than being seen by 100.
– Most importantly, this list is about college potential, not current performance. Let me repeat that. THIS LIST IS ABOUT COLLEGE POTENTIAL, NOT CURRENT PERFORMANCE. This is the big one, the factor that causes the most consternation, and the most misunderstanding, especially among keenly interested parents.
