Class of 2025: Top 10

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of 2025 improved a lot over the years and there are players that will move up the rankings before the season is over. There have been many additions to the rankings and none better than the #1 player in the country. Let's take a look at the Top 10. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2321479"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e472d12ec68"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We will likely know where the #1 player in the country will be attending in a few months as Dybantsa finishes his official visits. Dybantsa is a generational talent and he is the most sought after player in the Class of 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not only does he bring length to the floor, he is actually strong although slender. He is a Kevin Durrant type of player. He is shooting the ball well and his wiggle on the ball is impressive. He can also do work inside and he is an above the rim monster. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1532052"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e472d12ecca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harwell might not have been really hyped up this past spring and summer and that is simply because he was nursing and injury. He has looked smooth in his recovery and he is set to start the season at powerhouse Wasatch. Harwell committed to Houston yesterday and chose them over the likes of Gonzaga, Houston and Cal. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harwell would fit in any system but he will excel at Houston as aa CG that has also transformed himself into one of the better defenders positionally in the class. Not only does he bring elite attacking and different finishing packages to the next level but he also brings tough defense on the ball and he rotates well off the ball. This will be a skill set that translates to the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1532662"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e472d12ed19"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mandaquit is a player that will change a program in many ways. First and foremost is he is a leader out on the floor. He kind of gives you some Jason Kidd vibes. He has elite vision and he can put the ball on the money for shooters. cutters and above the rim players. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mandaquit is build to play college ball right now as he is strong and his handle and his ability to protect the ball is just next level. The other aspect of his game that might not be seen by the average eye is that he can read defenses and adjust on the fly. He is a true extension of a coach out there on the floor. He will be a big time get.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1575685"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e472d12ed5e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jones has ascended so much from his freshman season. He just blew up this spring and summer on the 3SSB Circuit and he did it playing defense and being an active rim crasher on both ends of the ball. His motor in the open floor was really something else. He has a solid foundation with his current skill level as a scorer and defender and the best part of his game is that he will have time to develop at a historic program at UNLV. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>UNLV is getting a kid that has not hit the ceiling in his development yet. Jones send off Shawn Marion type vibes for the older folks reading. He will have a fantastic year this high school season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1146666"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e472d12eda6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Burgess has been playing at his won pace and it has really paid off. He has been a late bloomer but he is starting to hit a really high level stride. The quality of offers he is picking up is just impressive to where he was as a freshman. Burgess has really transformed into a high level stretch big that will likely be a 4 at the next level. He has put on some weight but in a few years he will have an opportunity to really transform his body which will help him inside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The upside is there and that's why he has continued to pick up offers. He recently picked up an offer from Illinois. He is set to have a monster year protecting the rim and scoring. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1253127"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e472d12edf0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nwuli has been quietly putting in work. He is down to 6 schools: Utah, UCLA, Louisville, TCU, San Diego State and USC. These high major schools are looking for that very active and high motor player that will get buckets and stops. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nwuli is tough attacking the rim and in the mid-paint/mid-range area he has a soft tough and elite finishing ability. He is another player with a high ceiling that can continue to sharpen his skills at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1366003"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e472d12ee3f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vance comes over to Utah Prep with over 11+ offers and he willpick up more as the season transpires. Utah Prep gets things started early as they head to San Diego soon for a showcase that will have a lot of coaches in attendance. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vance has some elite positional size at the wing. He has some bounce off of two feet and out in the perimeter he has wiggle that will get him space for easy jumpers inside the three-point line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1146670"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e472d12ee7b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Southwick might be the best shooter in the state and teams are coming to the realization late here. His jumper is high and with a high finish he is able to finish above longer defenders. He continues to pick up interest ashe racked up an offer from Utah Valley as of late. He could be a kid that ends up getting away from the local schools but with his shooting ability he is a player that will find a way to get on the court. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Southwick is also rare in that he not only can shoot the ball but he is one of the best on ball defenders and he understands defensive concepts off the ball. His handle has improved over the years and he still has room to improve. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2304482"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e472d12eeb1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gballou is on the move as he has made his way up the rankings a bit. He has a chance to move up even more. He might be the most immovable player in the state. A player that demands a double team almost every time he touches the ball. He has that Charles Barkley in him as he will back you up from a really high post up area. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gballou will have options at the next level and he is more mobil than he gets credit. His touch around the rim is impressive. His footwork seems to get better and better. This kid is nice. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2540138"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66e472d12eee5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rassmussen is an elite player coming over from Idaho. Not only does coming over make sense for him as he will get more looks before the season is over but it will prepare him to play right away at the next level as he will see high level competition night in and night out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>His strength is off the charts and it is crazy to think he will only get stronger and faster. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
