The top five remained unchanged with Sadiq White Jr Sadiq White Jr 6'8" | SF Myers Park | 2025 State #56 Nation NC , Mikey Wilkins Mikey Wilkins 6'8" | PF Christ School | 2025 State #66 Nation NC , Jackson Keith Jackson Keith 6'6" | CG Southern Durham | 2025 State #84 Nation NC , Colt Langdon Colt Langdon 6'7" | SG Millbrook | 2025 State #114 Nation NC and Trent Steinour Trent Steinour 6'10" | C Lake Norman | 2025 State #140 Nation NC still coming in at the top five positions, after that, however, there’s quite the movement after that with some new faces in the sixth through 10 spot in the latest rankings update!
Bryce Slay Bryce Slay 6’5″ | SG Carmel Christian | 2025 State #276 Nation NC is a familiar face as he moves from the seventh spot into the sixth position in the latest update. His movement is minor though he remains a key piece on Team Curry’s UAA 2025 squad. He’s a 6-foot-5 wing prospect that can knock down shots on the perimeter and in the midrange and defends the basketball at a high level. He’s also quite the rebounder given his length and athleticism. Charlotte, Western Carolina, Marshall and Winthrop are a few mid-major programs to offer him.
Gevonte Ware Gevonte Ware 6’9″ | C 1 of 1 Academy | 2025 State #150 Nation NC is a sizeable big man at 6-foot-9 with 1 of 1 Elite Rare. He’s a forward prospect that’s shown he can do a little bit of everything with his length, acting as a presence in the paint defensively, as a rim runner on the break and as a finisher with his back to the basket for starters. He’s one of a few names with the 1 of 1 Elite Rare group that’s turned heads in the first spring session. He’s a physical presence that’s already gotten the attention of Nebraska, Texas A&M and High Point on the Division I level. He’s a high-level forward to track given his ability to play multiple roles on the floor at his size.
Isaiah Henry Isaiah Henry 6’5″ | CG Cannon School | 2025 State #162 Nation NC has been quite the presence on the wing for Team CP3 on the EYBL scene after all of their sessions. He’s a 6-foot-5 prospect that’s shown he can operate on the wing as a slasher and creator off the bounce and in the paint as a shot-blocker and rebounder on the defensive end. He’s led the way for Team CP3 on the EYBL scene with 14.1 ppg, 6.3 rpg and 2.2 apg on 42.4 percent shooting from the field. He’s a strong-framed guard with offers already from Georgetown, Georgia, Virginia Tech, East Carolina and Temple, among others. As he shows he can knock down the 3-ball with consistency, he’s a name that’s due to grow in the 2025 class.
Highlights
Chadlyn Traylor Chadlyn Traylor 6’3″ | PG North Mecklenburg | 2025 State #384 Nation NC is an emerging name to get to know out of the Charlotte metro area that’s headed to North Mecklenburg High in the latest turn of events. He’s a 6-foot-3 floor general that produced 15.5 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 3.0 apg amd 1.3 spg on 46 percent shooting from the field and 41.1 percent from 3-point land at West Charlotte High. He’ll certainly bring a ton of playmaking and shooting to a rotation that already has Duke commit Isaiah Evans Isaiah Evans 6’6″ | SG North Mecklenburg | 2024 State #17 Nation NC in the rotation. He’ll be a name to know with the Vikings in the 2025 class.
Tayeshaun Smith Tayeshaun Smith 6’7″ | PF 1 of 1 Academy | 2025 State #252 Nation NC is another prospect from the 1 of 1 Elite Rare frontcourt that enters into the Top 10, moving from No. 18 to the 10th spot in the 2025 rankings. He’s a prospect that’s shown he can operate well at the stretch-forward spot, knocking down shots on the perimeter and in the high post. He’s also shown he can make plays out of the post with his length and passing ability. Nebraska is the only high major program to offer him so far.
