"Class of 2026 prospect A.J. Dybantsa is just a freshman but the 6-foot-7 wing has had the eyes of coaches and scouts on him for more than a year. As Rivals gets closer to ranking the 2026 class, it’s become clear that Dybantsa deserves first crack at topping the Rivals150. Saturday drove that point home once again, as the Expressions Elite star rattled off a 23-point, seven-rebound, seven-assist assist effort while playing two age groups up in the 17U division. Even at his young age, he impacts every facet of the game and is now proving he can dominate for long stretches while playing against older, more-seasoned elite prospects. It’s obviously incredibly early in Dybantsa’s recruitment, but the future five-star says he is yet to take any form of unofficial campus visit and won't really turn his attention toward his recruitment until next year. Boston College was Dybantsa’s first offer and he’s recently reeled in Providence, Alabama, UConn, Georgetown and Michigan." basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/cassidy-s-takeaways-saturday-s-eybl-session-in-arizona"Dybansta will almost certainly top rivals initial 2026 rankings this summer, so attempting to read much into the early stages of his recruitment is futile. The 6-foot-7 freshman is a truly special prospect that will likely have every offer he wants by the time he makes a decision. Expect heavy blueblood involvement in addition to the schools that have already offered. The picture of his recruitment isn’t likely to begin until next year at this time." basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/top-2026-aj-dybansta-is-taking-over-games-and-collecting-offers |

"Indiana has offered class of 2025 big man Eric Reibe. The 6-foot-11 Reibe announced the offer on his Twitter page. Reibe is not ranked by the major national recruiting outlets at this time, but an impressive spring and his recent run of offers suggest that is coming soon. Hailing from Germany, Reibe has only been in the U.S. for a few months. He attends The Bullis School in Potomac, Md. A lefty with perimeter shooting ability, Reibe projects like a modern European center or stretch-four. Reibe has been offered by Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Georgetown, Purdue, Maryland and Virginia Tech in the last month." www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-recruiting-hoosiers-offer-class-of-2025-big-man-eric-reibe/ |

"NC State just wrapped up its transfer portal haul and is now zeroing in on its final targets for the 2024 recruiting class to go along with Paul McNeil. But the State coaching staff has also been keeping a close eye on several standout targets in the 2025 class and Preston Copeland is an early name to know. The 6-foot-8 forward has impressed on both the Adidas 3SSB circuit and non-live period events with the Garner Road 16U program and made an early name for himself. Copeland also recently took an unofficial visit to NC State back on April 15 to tour campus and said he came away impressed. "I really enjoyed my visit to NC State, especially being so close to home," Copeland said. "They've got a lot of interest in me and said they're going to watch me a lot this summer. It was really nice meeting all the coaches and staff and getting to know them on a more personal level." Copeland's lead recruiter with the Wolfpack is Levi Watkins, who has already watched him play multiple times and has a relationship with Copeland's father, Ike, from their playing days. Ike was also former teammates with current NC State assistant Kareem Richardson during the 1992-93 season at ECU -- the last Pirates team to make an NCAA Tournament appearance. "We've all known each other for a long, long time," Ike said of Watkins and Richardson. "I've known [Kevin] Keatts since way back too, so I've got great relationships with that entire staff. They all showed Preston love and made him feel welcome at NC State. ... Levi's a great dude. He used to foul like crazy though [laughs] that's one thing I remember most about him." 247sports.com/college/north-carolina-state/article/preston-copeland-basketball-recruiting-nc-state-interest-2025-fo-210279343/ |

"Marcus Jackson - 6'8", 250 pound '25 F/C, Edmonsdon (MD) - Johnson is a unique player, given his length, height and size, all coupled with good mobility and a strong competitive nature. You can tell Marcus is still defining his game. "He just started playing basketball, probably a couple of years ago" shared Durant, who values the defensive impact of Johnson, not only strapping up against his man, but providing rim protection. Georgetown and Illinois have both offered this evolving performer. Many, many more are coming." alabama.rivals.com/news/travel-team-tour-team-thrill-16u |

"Jordan Scott has been one of the breakout players of this Spring. The 6-foot-5 wing is averaging 19.8 points and shooting 53.9 percent from the field for the Virginia Elite program on the Under Armour Rise 16u Circuit. Scott was named Northern Region Player of the Year and Concorde District Player of the Year as a sophomore this season at South Lakes High (VA)... “I’d say we hear the most from Michigan State, Virginia, and Virginia Tech, right now,” Scott said... "My mom, Christy (Winters) Scott, played at Maryland, and my dad, Jerome Scott, played at Miami,” Scott said. “My sister, Brianna Scott, currently plays at Georgetown." www.on3.com/news/jordan-scott-talks-recruitment-virginia-virginia-tech-michigan-state/ |

"Arriving on the high major scene virtually overnight, 6-foot-6 Class of 2025 guard Jaylen Harrell has become one of the fastest stock-risers in the country. The Massachusetts native broke out during the EYBL Session I, averaging 23 points, 6.4 boards, and 2.2 assists for Expressions while fleeing the obscurity his versatile game was previously cloaked in. As a well-built, bigger guard capable of eliciting mismatches and taking smaller defenders into the post, Harrell is unique for the mismatches he evokes. Buoyed by a tight handle and the ability to create space and shots off the dribble, Harrell also has an adeptness for creating open looks and exploiting seams in the defense. He currently holds offers from Georgetown, Alabama, Providence, and UMass." alabama.rivals.com/news/big-2025-guard-bags-hoya-offer |

"The Hoyas recently made an offer to 2025 summer stock riser Niko Bundalo of Green HS and the Wildcats Select. Bundalo has been a revelation on the AAU circuit, showing out with his rim running game, above-rim finishing, and deft inside-outside left handed touch. Playing for the Wildcats Select, the 6-foot-9 Bundalo has tipped the high major scales, drawing recent offers from Georgetown, Syracuse, Cincinnati, and other. "At his age, he is just so advanced skill wise," explained Green HS head coach Mark Kinsley, whose team went 17-7 and won a Federal League Championship this past season". He is not just a stand on the block, low block guy or a stand on the perimeter catch and shoot guy. He can put the ball on the floor with his left hand, right hand. One of the more unique attributes to his game is his passing ability, as he has made sublime reads out of the post." alabama.rivals.com/news/cooley-embraces-youth |

"5. Four-star PG Tyler Jackson – Team Thrill 16u Tyler Jackson plays with a fire, something that combines confidence and competitiveness. He has long arms, great length, and a quick-twitch body. In the high school year with Baltimore (MD) St. Frances, you saw a lot of shooting from him. He got to his spots, got downhill, and would look toward the rim. In this setting, playing on the ball, Jackson did a good job getting into the paint and making plays. He is a good athlete with a nice burst, and he is skilled. He consistently was able to make plays in the Under Armour Circuit, and that part was interesting." www.on3.com/news/under-armour-circuit-live-period-top-performers-day-2/Sounds like our coaching staff is recruiting players from the UA circuit, imagine that... "Few traveling teams regardless of shoe affiliation have two class of 2025 point guards like Tyler Jackson on the 16s and Chance Mallory on the 17s. Rivals.com ranks the 6-foot-2, 160-pound Jackson as the No. 18 overall player in the country and he showed why with great quickness, ability to create and a knack for putting defenders on their heels. He finished with 22 points in the 58-45 win over We R1 16s. Jackson is a hot recruiting name with colleges, and he’ll now get to know the new Georgetown staff. “Syracuse just offered me and Alabama just offered,” said Jackson, 17. “I’m waiting for that Kentucky offer. I haven’t heard from Georgetown yet. I went to Maryland and went with [UMD signee] Jahnathan Lamothe [of Saint Frances], who is going there.” basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/zembal-s-takeaways-sunday-at-the-under-armour-association"Five 2025 four-star prospects coaches will be eager to reach out to June 15... Jackson has been one of the toughest defensive assignments in the Nike EYBL E16 all spring, evident of his production. The 6-foot-2 point guard is averaging 30 points, 5.3 rebounds and two assists a game. In the fourth and final session of the EYBL last week, Jackson shot 50% from the 3-point line. His greatest asset is his ability to keep the defense off balance as a lethal scorer and playmaker at all three levels. Virginia Tech, Cal, Penn State, Houston, Syracuse and Alabama, among many others, will likely be in a mad dash to see who sends the first text." basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/2025-four-star-prospects-coaches-will-be-eager-to-reach-out-to-june-15 |

"Nyk Lewis, Gonzaga (DC) – Lewis is already one of the most well-known true point guards in the rising junior class, but in this setting, he showed his ability to score the basketball. He was aggressive from start to finish, albeit while always maintaining his floor vision, and showed off a naturally soft ball with his develop three-point range... Derek Dixon, Gonzaga (DC), ’25 – Friday night was Dixon’s night as he got to show off his skill, perimeter size, and steady demeanor. He’s a shooting threat from long-range off both the catch and the dribble, can make shots coming off screens, and has enough handle to push with his head up and be a playmaking threat... Acaden Lewis, Sidwell Friends (DC), ’25 – The southpaw guard has a wealth of weapons at his disposal including creativity with the ball, lots of pace in the open floor, quick moves off the bounce, a soft shooting touch from behind the arc, and long arms to match..." 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/article/college-basketball-recruiting-nike-elite-one-hundred-darius-acuf-211468068/ |

"We got our first look at 2025 wing Jordan Scott last weekend at the Crossroads Elite Camp. At the Future 60 we were able to get a much closer look and while he’s still a very much unfinished product, Scott looks like the type of wing who is easy to place some futures bets that could end up earning big returns. Pushing 6-foot-6 he’s an already sizey wing with a baby face who just appears to be scratching the surface of who he could be. He has a workable shot, pretty high basketball IQ, and is real versatile. Scott is still growing into his body and seems to have a thirst for learning as much as he can. Long story short, he’s got a lot of things going for him in the long term. Hailing from Reston (Va.) South Lakes, Scott has been racking up offers lately as California, Illinois, Iowa, Penn State, Pittsburgh and Washington have all offered since the end of April." 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/article/college-basketball-recruiting-andrew-crawford-jordan-scott-cole--211468748/ |
