Continue ReadingAt the end of May we had 222 players to rank for the 2025 class and we are now up to 250. We actually have more than 250 but I am putting a cap on each class at 250.
45 players are new and some have moved to different states, focused on different sports or went into the 2026 class.
Of the 45 new players, 10 are in the Top-25, 14 are in the Top-50 and 25 are in the Top-100.
This obviously means some of the players who were ranked at the top last year saw their ranking drop.
This class is pretty deep with some obvious studs at the top with Nationally ranked players but there are many players that you can see playing D1 basketball down the road.
Our goal at PrepHoopsAZ is to try and recognize anyone who may play college basketball. We will keep searching for new players in preseason camps/events/leagues/Prep Hoops Circuit, Arizona Top-250 EXPO and during the AIA/CAA/OTE/NIBC/EIBC/Grind Session seasons.
1. 22 players have earned a D1 offer so far showing that there is depth to it including Kingston Tosi Kingston Tosi 6'7" | SF Millennium | 2025 State AZ of Millennium.
2. Three of the players are or can be 4 or 5 star status with Koa Peat Koa Peat 6'8" | PF Perry | 2025 State #6 Nation AZ , Jeremiah Fears Jeremiah Fears 6'1" | PG AZ Compass Prep | 2025 State #31 Nation AZ and Tristan Beckford Tristan Beckford 6'6" | SF Hillcrest Prep | 2025 State AZ .
3. Rankings are based on a lot of things. Production, size for position, college coaches, the eye test, ability to score and defend, instincts, IQ, how a player moves, speed, ball handling, shooting, fundamentals. length and possible upside. It is not the easiest thing to do since not all players play in the same leagues for AAU and HS. They can be in the CAA, Grind Session, EIBC, OTE and the AIA obviously has different levels. Plus AAU teams may play on National Circuits (3SSB, UAA and EYBL) or play on local independent circuits (Pangos, Prep Hoops, WCE, NxtPro, The Stage and so on). So you put all that information together and create the rankings.
4. Of the 250 players we have 65 PG’s, 49 SG’s, 41 CG’s, 46 SF’s, 39 PF’s and 10 C’s.
