2025 Rankings Update: The Top Ten

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hard to believe but these 2025s are already Juniors and only have one year of AAU left before they'll be committing to schools and off to college. This class took a hit with Jasper Johnson, [player_tooltip player_id='2377717' first='Jayden' last='Miles'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2377714' first='Elijah' last='Clinton'] all opting to leave for prep schools but all three were originally 2024s who moved to 25 with the Covid year so the class is sort of back to normal at this point. Here's a look at the top ten prospects in the class right now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1130310"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Malachi moves into the top spot and is a top 40-60 prospect in America in the 25 class depending on where you look.
