"On3 caught up with four-star Sadiq White after a live viewing at this weekend’s Good Guys vs. Cancer event to talk recruiting. “I haven’t taken any official visits yet, and I don’t have any planned right now,” White said. “I’ve taken unofficial visits to South Carolina, Syracuse, and NC State. They’ve all offered me.” South Carolina: “It really is like a family down there. Coach (Eddie) Shannon embraced me really early, and I had a good time down there on my visit. They play fast, so that is really good. They play with a lot of spacing and let their athletic guys get downhill. I like how they let their athletes be athletic and clean up down there.” Syracuse: “The coaching staff, Coach (Adrian) Autry and Coach B (Brandon Straughn) and G-Mac (Gerry McNamara), they all embraced me real well went I visited. They like my versatility and think that would fit well with how they’re trying to play. I talk with them almost every day, about life, about basketball, about expanding my game. Everything.” NC State: “Coach (Joel) Justus has been great. He’s wanted me to come over and check out the program, and see how they work. And those guys work over there, they really get after it. They’re really physical as a team, and I love that. They have a bunch of dogs over there.” “I’ve heard from Arkansas a good bit, Coach (Ronnie) Brewer and Muss (Eric Musselman),” White said. “Duke and UNC are both starting to express more interest recently.” www.on3.com/news/sadiq-white-talks-south-carolina-syracuse-nc-state-visits-breaks-down-recruitment/"A super-bouncy lefty who recently cut his list to Alabama, Arkansas (though the coaching change could impact that), Georgetown, LSU, Syracuse, Tennessee and Texas, White is as versatile a defender as there is in the country. He flies all over the floor, has plus instincts and has a great frame to fill out. He has a lot of similarities to Dillon Mitchell at the same stage." 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/longformarticle/college-basketball-recruiting-usa-basketball-xavion-staton-mikel-brown-koa-peat-jalen-haralson-and-more-230232509/#2404023

"A few months back when Dwayne Aristode made the trek over to the U.S. from the Netherlands to play at Brewster Academy for his junior season, the 6-foot-7 wing was clear on the inevitable adjustments that would accompany the move. Aristode played in Spain for three years with Club Joventut Badalona, but his coming out party was last year when he competed with the Netherlands in the 2022 U16 European Championships. There he pumped in 15.3 points, nine rebounds, 3.1 assists and two steals a game... When asked which programs are reaching out most consistently, Aristode named Duke, UCLA, Wake Forest, Arizona, Georgetown, Xavier and Connecticut. “A lot of the schools have been talking to me since the summer,” Aristode said. “There are more schools that are reaching out too. That’s been cool, just talking to the coaches and getting to know the different staffs, but I’m just focusing on hooping right now.” basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/dwayne-aristode-emerging-as-a-star-in-the-2025-class

"Ranked the No. 109 overall recruit in the national junior class, Kaden Magwood had a loud 40-point performance against La Lumiere this weekend at the Marshall County Hoopfest. A 6-foot-3 guard who is solely wired to score the basketball, Magwood finds his offense with size-up dribbles, quick drives to the basket, and great lift to elevate over defenders in various scenarios along the perimeter. There is room for improvement as a decision-maker with the ball in his hands, but he has a great body, the ability to rise and fire, and microwave ability when it comes to making shots from a variety of areas on the floor. Recruitment: Magwood has been to Alabama, Illinois, and Virginia Tech for visits dating back to the latter part of August." 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/article/triple-threat-alert-eybl-scholastic-aristode-brewster-magwood-oak-hill-stagg-img-222401214/ "He certainly approached opening weekend in the adidas 3SSB with a “take no prisoners” approach, averaging 28.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists a game for Team Loaded last weekend. “I want to make a name for myself,” Magwood said. So far so good as it pertains to college coaches, the 6-foot-3 junior picked up a new offer from West Virginia and interest from Georgia Tech. Alabama, Georgia, Virginia Tech and Illinois, among others, are also involved. Magwood has drawn comparisons to Russell Westbrook because of the aggressive manner in which he attacks the rim, his elite athleticism, speed and shot making ability." basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/four-star-kaden-magwood-on-fire-to-start-spring

"3. WHICH PROSPECT THAT MADE HIS RIVALS150 DEBUT DO YOU SUSPECT MIGHT JUST BE STARTING HIS CLIMB? Cassidy: I like what I’ve seen from Eric Reibe, whom we started out at No. 94. I just haven’t seen a lot of him just yet. The fact that there’s top-50 potential at work in the 6-foot-11 big man is evident even in limited viewings. A German import, Reibe fits the Skilled-European-Center stereotype and carries with him a skillset that allows him to act as an impact rebounder and versatile scorer, as he showed the ability to score both in the post and on the perimeter at NBA Top 100 Camp. If he becomes more consistent, more comfortable off the dribble and more engaged defensively, he could aggressively climb the rankings." basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/rivals-roundtable-thoughts-on-the-2025-rivals150-refresh"However, he says six schools are staying in contact the most. “Definitely Ohio State, Oregon, Creighton, Michigan, Iowa, and Providence. They all text me on a daily basis, call me on a daily basis.”... Georgetown: “It was good. I can go there many times because its so close to me. (Cooley) is a very good coach. He’s known to build up programs. He puts a lot of value into relationship building. He does a great job of that, keeping a lot of contact with us. He’s always inviting me to practices and games. I think a few years from now, the program is going to keep on growing and building. I think he will do a good job there.”... Reibe isn’t done with college visits as he plans to see at least three more programs. “We don’t have exact dates but I’m planning to do visits to Oregon, Creighton, and Michigan.” www.on3.com/news/eric-reibe-recaps-visits-to-iowa-ohio-state-georgetown-harvard-previews-future-trips/"Eric Reibe came away with the best overall performance from a big man. Currently ranked No. 135 in the class of 2025, the 7-foot center showed big strides in his game competing with Team Museum. The skilled lefty rebounded and showed a blend of playing in the post and getting to his left hand, stepping out and knocking down multiple threes, and finishing strong at the rim. Defensively, he blocked and altered shots at the rim and showed progression in his game. Reibe is currently planning visits to Creighton and Oregon." hoyatalk2.proboards.com/thread/33695/acaden-lewis-point-sidwell-friends?page=3

"Marcus Jackson has been having a very productive summer and fall. The 6-foot-7, 210 pound forward from Baltimore (Md.) is currently ranked No. 106 overall and is a composite four-star... “Everything is going fine as of right now. I did a visit to ECU and will be doing a lot of unofficial visits. I’ll also take a couple official visits too.”... Outside of East Carolina, Jackson will look to visit the programs that show the most interest in him. “Providence, Missouri and few others are recruiting me right now. The other schools I’d want to visit will be a surprise.” Jackson broke down both Missouri and Providence with 247Sports. Missouri: “I’m looking deep on their academic programs because I’m interested in the engineering program there. I’m going to visit to them later in the season but as of right now I’m just looking at their academics.” Providence: “Their culture is great, and the coach is great. There’s a lot of good things going around there.” 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/article/marcus-jackson-providence-missouri-college-basketball-220602488/"3-star PF Marcus Jackson (2025) plays with so much pop. Not only is he explosive, but he is also a quick leaper getting off the ground in a hurry. Jackson is still raw, but he continues to figure things out. He stepped into a smooth three in this one, he also finished high above the rim with authority. Has an intriguing impact on the game. He finished with eight points and three blocks in the win." www.on3.com/news/chick-fil-a-classic-day-2-top-performers/"MARCUS JACKSON - TEAM THRILL Marcus Jackson has been a prospect I've been high on and he became one of the X-factors in a highly competitive matchup against Team Durant on Saturday. The bouncy four man continues to play with high energy and showcased his highlight reel dunks and blocks due to his athleticism. Jackson currently holds offers from Illinois, Maryland, Seton Hall among others." 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/longformarticle/college-basketball-acaden-lewis-tyler-jackson-chance-mallory-230823725/#2411332

"4-star PG Chance Malloy (2025) has been one of the biggest standouts of this season’s tournament. The 5-foot-10 point guard had another standout performance in the championship game of the Coby White Division. Mallory is a skilled and compact lead guard who has range out to 30-plus feet and a tight handle that gets him to open spots on the floor. The MVP of his division finished with 27 points, five rebounds, four assists, and three steals in the win." www.on3.com/news/john-wall-holiday-invitational-day-3-top-performers-drake-powell-paul-mcneil-jayden-quaintance/"On3 MVP: Four-Star PG Chance Mallory (2025) There is a toughness factor that Chance Mallory brings to the game that is hard to ignore. The Charlottesville (VA) St. Anne’s Bellfield guard plays with a ton of confidence and brings it on both ends of the floor every minute he is in the game. Mallory is very skilled which is enhanced by the toughness. His range extends out to 30 or so feet, and he is comfortable knocking it down off the bounce or off the catch. When defenses press too high on him, he attacks the paint. Mallory’s decision-making was excellent today, processing quickly and delivering precisely. Mallory is around 5-foot-10, so some will question the size, but he competed on the defensive end of the floor, guarding especially well in the open floor. Virginia Tech head coach Mike Young and an assistant were courtside along with coaches from West Virginia, Notre Dame, LSU, and Georgetown to watch.

"Jordan Scott, Virginia Elite - The number 53 ranked prospect in the national class of 2025, Scott has been an established prospect for quite some time now, and yet he's still just scratching the surface of his potential. He has a few significant markers for long-term success in his wing size, smooth shooting stroke, and the overall fluidity in his game. While there are times you might want to see him assert himself more, he's unselfish and a very willing passer. He is also engaged on the defensive end of the floor. Give him some time for his body to fill-out and ideally add some force and rim pressure in correlation to that, and you have a high-level long term prospect." 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/article/scouting-the-top-prospects-from-session-i-of-the-uaa-part-2-231159361/"8. 4-star SG Jordan Scott (2025) Jordan Scott has a great frame, very intriguing as you project moving forward. He plays an efficient game that can be quiet at times, but is always ready when his number is called. Scott is listed at 6-foot-6 and he carries a plus wing span. He has a smooth jump shot that he steps into with confidence. He is good within two or three dribbles, getting to his spots, or moving the ball around. Scott also showed some ability to post his man and create an advantage. He played somewhat passively at times and will need to continue developing the handle, but showed high basketball IQ and an ability to rebound at his position." www.on3.com/news/under-armour-next-circuit-top-performers/

"Mikey Wilkins is a 6-foot-8 power forward who plays with a motor that makes him hard not to notice. Wilkins transferred to Arden (NC) Christ School this off-season, which is who he played with during this first scholastic live period. A who’s who of college coaches showed up to watch the 2025 prospect, including head coaches from Clemson and Mississippi State, along with a slew of power five assistant coaches. Immediately, you see Wilkins’ propensity for chasing rebounds. He goes and gets it in and out of his area with good instincts and a purpose. Offensively, he has a lot of tools to work through, and it seems like they are still figuring out how to best use him. Wilkins has touch, which he showed when his feet are set beyond the three-point line. He is also an excellent passer, able to push the break off a rebound or run the offense from the top of the key. He also has some footwork and balance, with touch, on the block. Wilkins currently claims offers from Virginia Tech, Iowa, South Carolina, LSU, Illinois, Mississippi State, and others." www.on3.com/news/north-and-south-carolina-live-period-top-performers/"Georgetown & Virginia Tech are the latest to offer 2025 frtoncourt prospect Zymicah Wilkins.

At 6-foot-8 with a big body, Wilkins is mobile and active. He is comfortable putting the ball on the floor and loves to manuever through and around defenders to score with touch inside.

"Maryland hosted one of the top prospects in the DMV with Adrien Stevens. Stevens, a 6-foot-4 combo guard who attends The Bullis School (Md.) has already been to campus and is continuing to get familiar with the Terps... “I feel like I’m building a great relationship with coach Willard,” Stevens said. “I can feel his genuine interest towards me as more than a basketball player. He likes my personality and I think that goes far in recruiting. I want to go to a place where I’m valued off the court and he definitely made it clear that I’m a priority on and off the court.”... “The conversations we had entailed that Big-10 kind of role when it comes to bigger guards,” he said. “They can see me handling the ball for them and going forward in the fall and winter they want to see me handle the ball prove myself on that side. Along with that they want me to be that defensive anchor. Every team needs that and they’re looking at that.” Outside of his visit to Maryland, Stevens also took an unofficial to Virginia Tech this summer that left a lasting impression... Moving forward expect Stevens to take an official visit to Marquette October 7th with Xavier and Pitt as other potential destinations. When it comes to the upcoming Marquette visit, they also stand firmly in the mix from the constant communication and effort in recruiting him. “I talk to Marquette a lot,” he said. “They’re probably the school I hear from the most. I talk to them almost every day. They been a priority for me and I’ve been a priority for them. It’s good to have that reciprocating relationship especially to a school I could see myself going to. I’m also really excited to see Milwaukee. A lot of people say it’s nice and people in the Midwest are good people so I want to see that for myself.” 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/article/adrien-stevens-maryland-marquette-pitt-virginia-tech-214782113/"Adrien Stevens, We-R1 - There are a lot of guards who like to try to attack the rim. There aren't many that do it as instinctively or efficiently as Stevens. A big, power guard at 6-foot-4, he's plenty capable of bullying his way to the rim, but often doesn't need to as he has a knack for improvising his path, just enough to find the gaps without wasting movement. Stevens, who came into the spring ranked no. 92 in the national class, is also a capable enough shooter when in rhythm to keep defenders honest." 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/article/scouting-the-top-prospects-from-session-i-of-the-uaa-part-1-231099500/
