<p>The No. 18 prospect in the 2025 rankings is off the board with [player_tooltip player_id='1968872' first='JD' last='Bowden'] headed to Presbyterian College in the Big South. He's come a long way since joining Ambassador Christian in his final year of high school basketball. Through the adversity, Bowden showed he could still produce in leading his new squad with 15.7 points, 4.0 assists and 1.6 steals per game on 53 percent shooting from the floor and 39 percent shooting from deep. He'll be a combo guard prospect to keep an eye on with his best basketball ahead of him at the next level.</p>

<p>The No. 34 prospect in the 2025 rankings is off the board as [player_tooltip player_id='2213545' first='Joshua' last='Dalton'] is headed to the Stetson Hatters in the ASUN Conference. Dalton spent this past season at Golden State Prep where he really flourished as a stretch forward prospect. He showed he could handle the basketball and knock down shots offensively and be a presence defensively as a versatile defender and shot blocker. He'll look to continue his development at the LM D1 level.</p>

<p>The No. 35 prospect in the 2025 rankings won't have to travel far from his Bandys High home with [player_tooltip player_id='2093887' first='Landon' last='Vaughan'] committing to Lenoir-Rhyne in the South Atlantic Conference. He'll certainly be a presence to watch with the potential to transfer up in the future given his length, mobility and versatility. He played a key role in Bandys' run to the NCHSAA 2A West Region Finals as he put up 22.3 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game, accumulating 12 double-doubles across 30 games. His ability to alter shots, roam the paint and make things happen with his length should be on full display at the next level soon enough.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Still Available in the Top 25</h2>

<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">21. [player_tooltip player_id='1226599' first='Tayeshaun' last='Smith'] | Combine Academy (OTE)</h3>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jacksonville, Oakland, College of Charleston, Arizona State, Illinois STtae, Iowa, High Point and Nebraska were all on the table at one point. He'll be a late steal for a DI hopefully in the Southeast region.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">22. [player_tooltip player_id='1299049' first='Da'Ron' last='Hall'] | Winston-Salem Christian Post-Grad</h3>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hall runs the floor well as a finisher in the paint but can knock down shots on the perimeter and show off his mobility there. Defensively, he's shown he can defend multiple roles and alter shots. He's an underrated prospect for DI and DII programs in the region to target.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">24. [player_tooltip player_id='1508752' first='Brett' last='Freeman'] | Ardrey Kell</h3>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Florida State offered him back in February along with Florida International. He should be another late DI signee in the 2025 rankings when it's all said and done.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">25. [player_tooltip player_id='1220133' first='Mason' last='Dobie'] | First Flight</h3>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dobie remains one of the most decorated shooters to leave First Flight. College programs in need of a sure-fire scorer with confidence, look no further.</p>
