Continue ReadingThe 2025 class is already halfway through their 16u season of AAU and only a few months away from being in their Junior years of high school. Recruiting is starting to heat up for several players and as we head into the summer, there’s a lot to be on the lookout for with this rising Junior class.
Is this the best class we’ve seen in a decade?
This class is loaded with talent from the top down. There are 3 players who are potential top 50 in America and hold tons of high major D1 offers between them in Jasper Johnson Jasper Johnson 6'5" | PG Woodford County | 2025 #15 Nation MO , Malachi Moreno Malachi Moreno 6'11" | C Great Crossing | 2025 State #21 Nation KY and EJ Walker EJ Walker 6'8" | PF Lloyd Memorial | 2025 State #116 Nation KY . There are 7 other players with multiple D1 offers in Vincent Dawson III Vincent Dawson III 6'5" | SG Great Crossing | 2025 State #327 Nation KY , Julius Edmonds Julius Edmonds 6'6" | SF Trinity | 2025 State #253 Nation KY , Elijah Clinton Elijah Clinton 6'6" | CG Western | 2025 FL , Zander Carter Zander Carter 6'6" | SG Ashland Blazer | 2025 State #296 Nation KY , Jayden Miles, Austin Sperry Austin Sperry 6'3" | SG Breathitt County | 2025 State KY and Isaiah Cochran Isaiah Cochran 6'6" | SF Adair County | 2025 State #383 Nation KY . That doesn’t even factor in how many players in the class are projecting to be D1 talents before graduation. 2015 is the best class I’ve seen since I’ve been paying attention and it looks like 2025 is going to be right there with them at the end.
Which player will be next to earn a D1 offer?
Beyond the list above, there are several players who are on track to earn D1 offers in the next year or so. Don’t be surprised if any of these guys earn D1 offers this summer or fall: Aveion Chenault Aveion Chenault 6'3" | SG Frederick Douglass | 2025 State KY (even though he’s got P5 football offers), Ben Mukadi Ben Mukadi 6'8" | C Evangel Christian | 2025 State KY , Jordan Mabe Jordan Mabe 6'8" | PF South Laurel | 2025 State KY , Maddox Huff Maddox Huff 6'3" | PG Harlan County | 2025 State KY , Sawyer Thompson Sawyer Thompson 6'2" | CG Pineville | 2025 State KY , Eli Finley Eli Finley 6'2" | PG Calloway County | 2025 State KY , Aaron Gutman Aaron Gutman 6'6" | SF Walton-Verona | 2025 State KY , and many more. The depth in the class cannot be overstated.
Who is the second best point guard in the class?
The 2025 class is absolutely LOADED at point guard. Jasper Johnson Jasper Johnson 6'5" | PG Woodford County | 2025 #15 Nation MO is firmly locked in at the top spot and is a potential NBA Draft pick down the line. After that, there are so many good point guards in the class: Maddox Huff Maddox Huff 6'3" | PG Harlan County | 2025 State KY , Eli Finley Eli Finley 6'2" | PG Calloway County | 2025 State KY , Cayden Reed Cayden Reed 5'9" | PG Mason County | 2025 State KY , Ty Price Ty Price 5'8" | PG Butler County | 2025 State KY , Lance Chandler Lance Chandler 5'11" | PG Trinity | 2025 State KY , Yamil Rondon Yamil Rondon 5'11" | PG Cooper | 2025 State KY , Josiah Lawson Josiah Lawson 6'0" | PG Trinity | 2025 State KY , Junius Burrell Junius Burrell 5'8" | PG Great Crossing | 2025 State KY , Saxton Howard Saxton Howard 5'11" | PG Lexington Christian Academy | 2025 State KY and Santonio Waide Santonio Waide 6'0" | PG Woodford County | 2025 State KY all have potential to be the second best PG in the class. Hopefully we’ll get to see some of them go head to head this summer and start to separate.
Will any prospects break out this Summer?
Just a shot in the dark but will any players burst on the scene this summer? Players like Carson Probst Carson Probst 6'10" | C Woodford County | 2025 State KY , Jaidan Combs Jaidan Combs 6'3" | SG Cooper | 2025 State KY , Jace Wardlow Jace Wardlow 6'0" | PG Bowling Green | 2025 State KY , Ashton Moser Ashton Moser 6'6" | SF Pineville | 2025 State KY , Sam Frazier Sam Frazier 6'3" | PG Ballard | 2025 State KY , Gage Richardson Gage Richardson 6'5" | SG Great Crossing | 2025 State KY , Jaunte Jenkins Jaunte Jenkins 6'2" | PG Woodford County | 2025 State KY , Prince Kahnplaye Prince Kahnplaye 6'0" | PG DeSales | 2025 State KY , Will Hanke Will Hanke 6'6" | SF Saint Xavier | 2025 State KY and Elijah Walton Elijah Walton 6'5" | SF University Heights | 2025 State KY all have the potential to break out this summer thanks to their physical gifts or unique skill sets.
