Updated 2025 Rankings: New Faces (Part 2)

The wait is finally over as we have updated our 2025 rankings yet again! The class is becoming very familiar to us as we have been evaluating them for years now, but there's always updates to it.   The class features 145 ranked prospects, including many new names to the update. Here's a look at part two of new additions to the group.   [player_tooltip player_id='2451966' first='Cole' last='Hoffman'] | 6'8” C | Manchester (#102)   Hoffman was a big part of Manchester's successful season this year, and he's an intriguing prospect with a lot of upside at his size. At 6'8” he can move off the ball well to get open on duck ins and cross cuts, he can post up and finish over the shoulder, he shows good touch out to the elbows and is a good rebounder who can challenge shots too.   [player_tooltip player_id='2309825' first='Tiberius' last='Fields'] | 6'3” CG | Harrisonburg (#108)   Fields was one of the top payers in the Harrisonburg area this year, with his consistent production across the board. He's a big guard who can handle and get into the teeth of the defense where he can finish or make plays for others, he's a good athlete in transition who can play above the rim and he's able to guard multiple positions as well.   [player_tooltip player_id='2452107' first='Knox' last='Axselle'] | 6'5” SG | Atlee (#109)   Axselle is a new addition who is getting his name out there much like his older brother Rival who now plays at Guilford College. The 6'5” off guard has a good frame that should fill out and has long arms to get deflections and rebounds, he's a very good shooter from deep who sets his feet quickly and has good range and he gives good effort across the board too.   [player_tooltip player_id='2443233' first='Brent' last='Thompson'] | 6'0” PG | Trinity Episcopal (#111)   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Thompson-Brent.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Thompson-Brent.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1978343" /></a></figure>   We've wrote quite a bit about Thompson this Spring with his play for Team Marsh, as he's shown he's one of the top floor generals in the Richmond area. The 6'0” lead guard is a smooth lefty who controls the tempo and makes plays for others, he can score it off the bounce from deep and in the midrange well and he's a natural leader who can run the show for his team.   [player_tooltip player_id='2452134' first='Ben' last='Vaughn'] | 6'2” SG | Steward (#113)   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/Vaughn-Ben.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/Vaughn-Ben.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2220804" /></a></figure>   Vaughn is a player who came on the scene this past fall and had a very good season as a secondary option for Steward where he showed he can impact the game in a number of different ways. He may not look ike it but he's a very good athlete who can play above the rim in transition, he's a good perimeter defender, he can knock down open shots and he's willing to do the little things to help his team too.   [player_tooltip player_id='2452144' first='Justin' last='Debrew'] | 6'5” PF | Cosby (#121)   Debrew is a new name we discovered this year with his talented Cosby team and his stellar play for Team [program_tooltip program_id='2416185' first='Loaded' last='804'] this spring. The 6'5” forward is an all-out and high motor guy who runs the floor hard and brings it on both ends of the floor, he is a strong post defender and moves his feet well to switch and he's active on the offensive glass for extra opportunities too.   [player_tooltip player_id='2452155' first='Zachary' last='Owens'] | 6'2” SG | Maury (#123)   Owens has emerged this past year with his Maury team and has been a force with the new Team Loaded VB City team, showing his ability to make plays on both ends of the floor. He's a good shooter off the ball with the ability to knock it down from deep and the short corner, he's a good secondary ball handler who can create for himself and others and he's a very good defender with good instincts on and off the ball.   [player_tooltip player_id='2452157' first='Kharon' last='Scruggs'] | 6'0” SG | Manchester (#126)   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/Scruggs-Kharon.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/Scruggs-Kharon.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2310861" /></a></figure>   Scruggs was another breakout player for Manchester this year, emerging as a two way impact player whose high energy style is infectious to his team. He's a very good athlete who has great speed in the open floor, he's a strong defender who moves his feet well, he gets to the rim and gets to the line a lot and he does all the dirty work too.
