Here are a few newcomers to the 2025 rankings..   <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PH-Zakary-Cain-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/PH-Zakary-Cain-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2672824" /></a></figure>   Zakary Cain (6'3/PG/'25/East Limestone)   IG: ZakaryCain   X: @ZakaryCain   Zakary was brought to my attention by a coach in the Huntsville area who was very high on him, as he had seen him play numerous times and wondered why he had not been getting any love. So when I went to see him play, he did not disappoint and showed that he was definitely one of the top talents in our state. He is a lethal scorer from all levels, has smooth handles, and his shot-making ability is very impressive. I kept asking myself while watching him play why I hadn't heard of this kid before, as he was a very talented scorer and a playmaker who made the game easy for everyone.   He makes his debut as the #22-ranked player in his class.   <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/PH-Austin-Dudley-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/PH-Austin-Dudley-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2808314" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Average Joe Sports / Deedra Pike Average Joe Sports / Deedra Pike</figcaption></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='2814939' first='Austin' last='Dudley'] (6'2/CG/'25/Hoover HS)   IG: austindudley5_   X: @Austin_Dudley5   Austin was a pivotal piece to the Bucs championship run. From his overall play and exceptional shooting in the regionals to timely buckets and intense defensive play in the final four, Austin saw his stock rise, particularly in the second half of the season. Despite playing alongside the Big 3, who gets most of the attention, Austin showed that he was just as important to the team with his ability to produce in clutch moments.    He makes his debut as the #42-ranked player in his class.   <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/PH-King-Larkin-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/PH-King-Larkin-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2794373" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Average Joe Sports / Deedra Pike Average Joe Sports / Deedra Pike</figcaption></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='2456499' first='King' last='Larkin'] (6'5/F/'25/Paul Bryant)   IG: Iamkinglarkin5   X: @Iamkinglarkin   King has good positional size and has strength to go along with the size. He is a physical presence on both ends of the floor. He is very active on the inside and showed his ability to score inside the arc as well as rebound at a high rate. He has the ability to impact games with his motor and athleticism, and he will be able to transfer his high-energy play to the next level.   He makes his debut as the #44-ranked player in his class.   [player_tooltip player_id='1978589' first='Javion' last='Dailey'] (6'0/CG/'25/Daphne)   IG: juice.loading_   Javion is an athletic lefty who is very shifty off the bounce. He plays with a chip on his shoulder and is extremely confident in his game, and he doesn't just talk the talk but walks it out. He is always hunting for scoring opportunities and has a scoring arsenal that helps him be a really good finisher at the rim and scorer out on the perimeter. When he is on he is nearly impossible to slow down.   He makes his debut as the #49-ranked player in his class.   <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/PH-Garrett-Morgan-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/03/PH-Garrett-Morgan-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2797690" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Average Joe Sports / Deedra Pike Average Joe Sports / Deedra Pike</figcaption></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='2786938' first='Garrett' last='Morgan'] (6'3/CG/'25/Glencoe)   IG: gmorgann21   Garrett is a combo guard who produces on and off the ball, and the final four was my first time seeing him compete. He scores from multiple levels and was a tough cover off the bounce. He has shot-making and set-up abilities. He is really good at creating his own offense and has the passing skills to get the rock to his teammates where they can be successful.   He makes his debut as the #52-ranked player in his class.       <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/PH-Austin-Germono-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/PH-Austin-Germono-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2790244" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Average Joe Sports Average Joe Sports</figcaption></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='2786973' first='Austin' last='Germono'] (5'8/PG/'25/Oakwood Adventist)   IG: austingermono2   The final four was my first time seeing Austin; needless to say, he impressed me with his overall play. He is a small PG with a lot of heart and impacted the game on both ends of the floor with tenacious play. He is a solid overall floor general who runs the show and scores for his squad. He was his team leader and is one of the main reasons that Oakwood had the season they had and made it to the final four.   He makes his debut as the #55-ranked player in his class.     [player_tooltip player_id='2814990' first='Danilo' last='Stojakovic'] (6'5/SF/'25/Tuscaloosa Academy)   The final four was my first time watching Danilo play, and like I did for the standouts that I saw, I went back and watched film to see if their performances matched their overall play from the season. Needless to say, Danilo has been putting up huge points with his ability to get to the cup. He is a downhill attacking wing who wastes no movements when attacking off the dribble. He has strength and creativity when finishing in the paint and at the rim. His game draws fouls, so he gets to the line often. He isn't afraid of the moments and has shown to be a clutch performer.    He makes his debut as the #63-ranked player in his class.   [player_tooltip player_id='2814949' first='Lucca' last='Nelson'] (6'0/CG/'25/Spanish Fort)   IG: l_nelson04   Lucca is a small PG who has a really good scoring arsenal from all levels. He is heady, has a solid skill set, and knows how to run the show or put numbers on the scoreboard. He showed an innate ability to make his teammates better throughout the year. He is a good point guard who is the engine of his team, adapts to any situation, and was a good leader on and off the floor.    He makes his debut as the #64-ranked player in his class.
