New readers: Use code Proia30 for discounted subscription     We updated our Class of 2025 rankings taking into account the rising senior's grassroots' performance, HS season performance, personal accolades, and team performance. First, we'll discuss the prospects that made the biggest leaps within our top 35. Let's get into it!      Previous Rank: 6   -The big fella made the leap from 6 to 3 off the strength of a strong summer with Bullis, [program_tooltip program_id='2450576' first='Team' last='Museum'], and at several elite individual player camps. The German national blew up on a national scale this summer as college coaches got a chance to see him for the first run of extended playing time stateside as a versatile forward prospect that can stretch the floor with his shooting, score with a soft touch in the paint, and play-make from the high post. Arguably one of the best long-term prospects in the area, Reibe has a chance to stamp himself as a national name if he is able to remain healthy and lead Bullis to another IAC championship while winning individual matchups along the way.     Previous Rank: UR   -Jeffrey flirted with professional opportunities this summer and thus, didn't land in our last set of rankings but sets out to make a name for himself in the DMV. The NYC native committed to the University of Maryland today after an explosive summer on the EYBL circuit as a 3-level scorer that can create for himself or others off the bounce. With a college-ready physical frame, aggressive mentality at both ends of the floor, and a nice blend of perimeter skills-- Jeffrey could leapfrog some of the prospects ahead of him by landing Mt. Zion in national discussions as the leader of a team with great size and positional versatility.     Previous Rank: 18   One of the premier shot-makers in the country, Polk's shooting ability with great positional size has boosted his recruitment to include a bevy of MM-HM interests and offers. Polk's ability to play the role with New World of an ultra-dependable floor-spacer that can also rebound the basketball and create for others from the wing contrasted nicely with more of an on-ball role with St. Albans during the scholastic live periods as a primary scoring option that gets it done from all 3 levels.       Previous Rank: #27   -Really loved the developmental arc from Fields over the past 12 months. Fields hit a growth spurt to move from 6'5 to 6'7 and added in a ton of perimeter skill to a more sharpened physique. Fields proved his worth as a 3/4 tweener prospect that can knock down shots, defend at a pretty high level, and hit the glass at both ends of the floor to create extra opportunities for his team.     Previous Rank: 32   -Bumpass has continued to climb the 2025 rankings as a versatile scoring guard that can fill it up from the perimeter. His play during DC Live boosted his recruitment as he showed college coaches that he has the ability to hit C+S looks from beyond the arc, can get to his spots and into his pull-up jumpshot smoothly from the midrange, and has improved his ability to finish around the basket. The next step in his development will be to use the gravity that comes with scoring in bunches to create for his teammates in the halfcourt when he begins to see more double-teams and traps.     Previous Rank: UR   -A stretch 4 sleeper prospect that has the tools to blossom into an effective perimeter weapon, Akoue had some nice moments with [program_tooltip program_id='2078456' first='DC' last='Premier']. The 6'9 big can stretch the floor with his perimeter shooting while still providing defensive versatility and secondary rebounding. The jumper is falling more consistently and his touch has improved in the paint, with a more consistent motor and some added muscle onto a slight frame-- Akoue has the makings of an intriguing inside-out prospect.
