Reason for the Ranking (Top 50)

Andrew Force September 7, 2023 @ 03:13 PM

We introduce our updated Class of 2025 rankings!! Rankings are subjective and PrepHoops.com ranks purely upon potential and where the player will be at their basketball peak. Production factors in only when helping prove the potential is greater or lesser. Why did we rank these guys? Why are they at this spot? Take a look at five Class of 2025 prospects and learn a little about their reputation.

Peruse the complete 2025 rankings.

#46 Ashton Kirby Ashton Kirby 6'3" | PG Station Camp | 2025 TN

Ashton camped at University of Indianapolis. The left-handed Kirby wore #1 for the Tennessee Panthers during the AAU season. Wonderful height (6’3″) for a guard.

Can pull-up or cross with fluidity.

#47 Samuel Willoughby III Samuel Willoughby III 6'6" | SF Fayetteville (football) | 2025 State TN

#48 Kamden Days Kamden Days 6'7" | SF John Paul II | 2025 State TN

Kamden Days Kamden Days 6'7" | SF John Paul II | 2025 State TN (Pope Prep) camped with Tusculum in August. With Tennessee Panthers 16u, in July, Kamden routinely amassed double-figure rebounds in single games. Days actually provided the Panthers with 17p and 17r for one example.

Last season Kamden demonstrated enough body control to block shots without fouling. Can that continue as he gets to college when he will be defending 6’8″+ bigs? Probably.

#49 Sam Parson Sam Parson 6'3" | SG/CG Grundy County | 2025 State TN

Grundy County features their first Top 50 player in PrepHoopsTN’s existence in Sam Parson Sam Parson 6'3" | SG/CG Grundy County | 2025 State TN . The tall guard plays with good energy and focus.

The tall guard plays with good energy and focus. Parson is not elite quick, but he handles well enough to create separation currently. Strong. He was an enthusiastic rim-runner for NYBA (AAU) this past summer.

In-game dunking will become a common occurrence for Sam this high school season, probably even in the halfcourt.

He remains a perfect 4.0 G.P.A. student halfway through his high school tenure.

#50 Trae Rideau Trae Rideau 6'1" | PG Clarksville Academy | 2025 State TN

Played varsity as a freshman at the State Tournament. Amazing first step. Rideau played early because he was faster than most with better dribbling skills than most, but his basketball progress took a giant step with the recent development of his mid-range. STARS AAU picked him up and he was one of the only Clarksville guys playing on a shoe circuit team. Didn’t miss a beat.
