<p>The wait is finally over as we have updated our 2025 rankings yet again! The class is becoming very familiar to us as we have been evaluating them for years now, but there's always updates to it.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The class features 145 ranked prospects, including many new names to the update. Here's a look at part one of new additions to the group.</p>

<p>Morgan is a player that was somehow forgotten in the last rankings, but he's been unforgettable this spring and has already picked up an offer from Radford. He's steadily improved over the years and his size alone makes him intriguing along with his ability to get up and down the floor, protect the rim and finish above it as well as his high ceiling moving forward too,</p>

<p>St. Clair is a prospect who has had a lot of success in high school just at a small private school, but this spring with Washington Warriors 3SSB he's been absolutely fantastic. The 5'11” lefty is a talented scorer who can create for himself and others off the bounce, he is able to make difficult shots from multiple levels and he can control the tempo and set the tone at the point of attack.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2451937' first='Adarius' last='Boston'] | 6'4” CG | King's Fork (#53)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Boston has played on one of the top teams in the 757 for the past few years and has been overshadowed at times by older players, but this year he was one of their go-to guys and has had a great spring on the 3SSB Circuit with Team Push. He's a very intriguing long term guard with great size and long arms, he can handle it and create or move off the ball where he can knock down shots and he has huge upside as a defender too.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2451940' first='John' last='Uzochukwu'] | 6'2” SG | LC Bird (#55 Overall)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:image {"id":2268205,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} -->
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/11/Uzochukwu-John.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/11/Uzochukwu-John.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2268205" /></a></figure>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Uzochukwu was a breakout player for one of the most surprising teams in the VHSL last year as he helped lead his unproven and rebuilt LC Bird squad to the VHSL Class 5 State Championship game. There's a lot to like with Uzo moving forward as he's a strong and well built guard that's a good athlete, he can get hot and score the ball in bunches both from deep and attacking downhill and he is a good rebounder and defender too.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1521039' first='Ethan' last='Collins'] | 6'3” CG | Central-Wise (#57 Overall)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:image {"id":1604718,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} -->
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/60-Ethan-Collins-scaled.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/60-Ethan-Collins-scaled.jpg?w=683" alt="" class="wp-image-1604718" /></a></figure>

<p>Collins was in the rankings earlier in his career and somehow wasn't in the last one so welcome back, we didn't forget about one of the top players in SWVA! The 6'3” combo guard is an all-state performer from the Southwest corner of the state who puts up big numbers consistently with his ability to get downhill and use his size to finish at the rim, he can knock down shots from deep and in the midrange and he's able to play multiple positions and contribute across the board for his team.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2451946' first='Tyrell' last='Beverly'] | 6'6” PF | Norcom (#68)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Beverly is part of an up and coming Norcom team that is getting back to their old ways, and he's been a breakout player on the 3SSB Circuit with Team Push this fall. The 6'6” power forward is a walking mismatch with his ability to step out on the perimeter and put it on the deck, he's strong and athletic enough to bang in the post and play above the rim and he can switch and guard multiple positions too.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2451954' first='Aveon' last='Tucker'] | 6'2” CG | Woodside (#96)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Tucker was an underrated part of Woodside's second straight state championship group, and while he wasn't one of their top scorers he was one of their most impactful all-around players. The 6'2” combo guard showed the ability to be a secondary ball handler and make good decisions touching the paint and making plays, he was perhaps their top on ball defender and he did all the little things to help his team win.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2451956' first='Trevor' last='Toulson'] | 6'5” SF | Benedictine (#99)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Toulson is starting to come into his own on a Benedictine team that is on the rise with their new coach, and he's a great player to help build the culture there. The 6'5” wing is a high motor and athletic player who gets after it on both ends of the floor, he's great in transition as a finisher, he can spot up and knock down shots and he is a good rebounder and defender too.</p>
