Jack Bailey Jack Bailey 6'9" | PF Blair Academy | 2025 State #136 Nation NJ , 6’9 Blair Academy
Bailey is the top-ranked prospect in the 2025 class with his ability to impact the game in a number of ways. The 6’9 forward has a good face-up game as he can put the ball on the floor and knock down jumpers from distance. Bailey has a nice touch around the basket and has a solid handle. He moves well without the ball in his hands and is an underrated post defender. Bailey’s versatile offensive game is something that will help his game in a big way this season.
Nas Hart Nas Hart 6'8" | PF College Achieve | 2025 State #159 Nation NJ , 6’8 College Achieve
Hart can also play on the perimeter, making him one of the most intriguing prospects in the class. The 6’8 forward elevates for dunks in the half court and does not mind drawing contact down low. Hart uses his size to see over his defender and can make opponents pay for giving him space on the perimeter. He can defend multiple positions on the floor and skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor. Hart is a talented forward prospect who is primed for a big 2023-24 season.
Ryan Hempfling Ryan Hempfling 6'9" | PF Blair Academy | 2025 State NJ , 6’9 Blair Academy
Hempfling joins a talented Blair Academy roster and should make an impact with his shooting ability. The 6’9 forward has a high release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Hempfling moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open layups and jumpers in the halfcourt. He holds his ground on the defensive end and is an underrated rebounder. Hempfling’s ability to stretch the floor is something that will help his stock throughout the winter.
Farouk Muntari Farouk Muntari 6'8" | PF Union Catholic | 2025 State NJ , 6’8 Union Catholic
Muntari had a solid summer, which should translate into a big winter. The 6’8 forward has a good release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. Muntari runs the floor hard, setting himself up for easy layups and dunks in transition. He uses his size to influence shots around the basket and sets solid screens in the halfcourt. Muntari is a stretch-four prospect who has the potential to have a strong 2023-24 season.
David Munro David Munro 6'7" | PF College Achieve | 2025 State NJ , 6’7 College Achieve
Munro teams with Hart down low to create one of the more intriguing forward duos in the 2025 class. The 6’7 forward has a strong frame, which he uses to get position down low and draw contact in the paint. Munro has a good touch around the basket and a nice release on his free throws. He rips down rebounds on both ends of the floor and holds his ground on the defensive end. Munro’s stock has the ability to rise this season if he can consistently knock down open jumpers from behind the arc.
