He had himself quite the performance at this year's John Wall Holiday Invitational in showing off his dominance inside and out as a presence on the hardwood. They're unbeaten at 12-0 currently as he's producing 14.3 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game. He'll be quite the force when he heads to NC State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2127653"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677d6ffa290d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ellis moves into the No. 2 position in the 2025 class as he continues his dominance on the OTE stage. He leads the OTE in scoring with 32.7 points per game and assists with 7.5 per contest as the YNG Dreamerz sit atop the standings at 12-1. He's shown why he should be considered for OTE Player of the Year after winning Most Improved in 2023-24. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1591316"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677d6ffa29121"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Magwood is another standout on the OTE stage with Combine Academy/Blue Checks checking in at No. 3 in the Top 10. Given recent results, he moves down a spot to make way for [player_tooltip player_id='2127653' first='Eli' last='Ellis'], though they'll have plenty of future battles in the SEC when Magwood heads to Auburn. He checks in at No. 3 in scoring in the OTE with 26.8 points per game while also producing 4.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game. He's another HM prospect in the 2025 class to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1410266"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677d6ffa2916e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ware is holding things down in the painted area and arguably one of the top bigs in North Carolina's 2025 class. He's putting up 10.6 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game and his passing out of the post is an asset as well. He's averaging 1.8 assists per contest. He's set to give Rutgers a paint presence they could use for a while when he heads there next fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2092926"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677d6ffa291b8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Phillips continues to hold his spot in the Top 10 as he moves in to the No. 5 position in the latest rankings update for the 2025 class. His ability to play above the rim defensively and alter shots has elevated him to the top shooting guard position. He's averaging 22.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, 1.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game to showcase his all-around skills at the shooting guard role, but he's much more than just a shooter as evidenced by his production. Look for him to make waves at Marquette in the Big East.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1409597"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677d6ffa29201"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Steinour finds himself back in the Top 10 at No. 6 in the latest rankings update for the 2025 class. He's another highly-regarded center who looks to make his mark with Lake Norman High in their quest for a state championship. They're 11-1 currently with him averaging 16.3 points, 11.9 rebounds and 3.3 blocks per game in the frontcourt. They're a big contender in the NCHSAA 4A ranks with the Clemson commit in the painted area. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1165174"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677d6ffa29246"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McSweeney moves from 37th to No. 7 in the latest rankings update in North Carolina. He's emerged as the second-best power forward prospect in the 2025 class with Cardinal Gibbons High. He's a prototypical big man who's gone underappreciated as an inside-out presence. He's producing 18.8 points, 12.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game on 53 percent shooting from the field with the Crusaders at 8-4 on the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2280113"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677d6ffa29292"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Younger has emerged as a top wing prospect in the 2025 class in North Carolina as he sits at No. 8 in the Top 10.

He's led Ravenscroft to some gritty wins already as they're 10-7 on the year. He's seperated himself as a top scoring presence to know no matter what's been thrown his way. He's got a bright future ahead of him at Boston U. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1990411"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677d6ffa29319"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Denis rounds things out in the Top 10 out of Davidson Day School.

Look for him to turn the tide with UNC in the near future given his prowess making things happen off the bounce. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
