Final 2025 men's NCAA basketball recruiting class rankings

With Niko Bundalo and Braydon Hawthorne announcing their commitments, we can finally close the book on the 2025 men's basketball recruiting class.

With roster movement settling down, college basketball coaches are hitting the road to watch the next generation of high school prospects. But before we turn the page to the next three classes, it's time for the final edition of our 2025 recruiting class rankings.

There has been plenty of change since the last update in January, with multiple five-star prospects making commitments, as well as coaching changes and transfer portal machinations leading to decommitments.

Here were the biggest stories of the past few months:

Arizona adds five-star duo: Tommy Lloyd's recruiting class was missing star power entering March, but that was rectified quickly with Koa Peat and Brayden Burries committing to the Wildcats within a two-week span. Both players should start immediately and keep Arizona in the top 15 nationally.

Nate Ament picks Tennessee: The single-biggest commitment of the spring came on Easter Sunday, when top-five prospect Ament committed to Rick Barnes and Tennessee. The Volunteers emerged as the favorite down the stretch, beating out a long list of programs that pursued Ament. The 6-foot-9 wing could be the best long-term prospect in the class.

Impact of coaching changes: Most springs, there are headline commitment flips due to the coaching carousel. And while there were still several top-50 decommitments this year, it was as much a result of portal additions as it was coaching changes. Darius Adams (UConn to Maryland) and Acaden Lewis (Kentucky to Villanova) made their moves after the Huskies and Wildcats added multiple perimeter players from the portal -- both landed with head coaches new to their programs, with Buzz Williams taking over at Maryland and Kevin Willard at Villanova.

Most other big changes centered on Miami. Matt Able, who committed to the Hurricanes under Jim Larranga, flipped to NC State. And new Miami head coach Jai Lucas was able to land top-50 recruits Shelton Henderson and Dante Allen, who had originally committed to Duke and Villanova, respectively.

Note: Class rankings are determined by a mathematical formula weighting various factors related to the quality and quantity of players in the class.
