They are the same fans who took and ran with the misinformation "7 years .176 avg in post season for Nate per Bubba" nonsense.

I think we'll see a totally different Trevon this year. Something was amiss last year. New start for all. If we get the Trevon we had prior to the knee injury, look out. Now if Kamani Johnson had a year left to come in as a locker room/energy/key rebound and a bucket guy. Kamani ended up being one of my favorite Razorbacks of all time. Hope he gets taken care of.

Typically speaking in any sport, an ACL surgery isn't 100% until year 2 where you feel like yourself again. And TB has some bigs around him this time too.

I could see Cal pairing Brazile with Aidoo and pairing Thiero with Big Z. That would make it so we would always have a big on the floor who’s a legit 3 point threat.

Aidan Chronister is the No. 40 overall player in the 2026 On3 Industry Ranking. The 6-foot-7 wing who played his first two seasons at Bentonville (AR) Rogers High has transferred to play his junior season at Bel Aire (KS) Sunrise Christian on Nike’s EYBL Scholastic League.

“I’m a lengthy wing, a three/two,” Chronister told On3. “I can do anything on the court, whatever the coach needs. I’ve always been able to shoot it and score it, I’ve been working on my handle and getting downhill. I watch a lot of Keven Durant, and how he gets to his spots and shotmake. And Jayson Tatum and his hesi. Really, I watch a lot of taller guards, and take pieces of what they do.”

On3 was able to catch up with four-star Aidan Chronister to talk about his recruitment.

“Of the schools who have offered, I’ve taken unofficial visits to Missouri and Oklahoma,” Chronister said. “I’ve also visited Indiana and Xavier. The old Arkansas staff offered me and I’ve visited there. The new staff hasn’t offered yet, but they’re talking with my coaches a good bit.”


quote:

Aidan Chronister talks recruitment
“I think Indiana might be close to offering,” Chronister said. “We’re hearing pretty regularly from the new Arkansas staff. We’ve been hearing from LSU and Iowa State, too. I want to go see both of them.”


quote:

ARKANSAS: “I really want to meet Coach Cal (John Calipari). He is an amazing coach who has developed a lot of NBA guys.”

In his words
“I’m going to try to find a coach and a staff that I have a good relationship with, that I get along with,” Chronister said. “I’ll look at the offense a program runs and what kind of plan they have for me. I know a lot of coaches can fit me into a lot of different spots with my skill set, and I can do a lot of different things with my versatility. So, I’ll look at the playstyle and make sure it’s a fit, but I don’t really have a preferred way of playing. As long as I trust the coaches and the staff, and they trust me, that will be important.”

The 2025 On3 150 player rankings have been updated. This is the seventh update for this class, debuting a top 50 in September of 2022, expanding to 75 in March of 2023, and broadening to a full 150 in October, and updating the 150 in July. This is the fourth update of the full 150 list. This update is based on 1) in-person evaluations from the beginning of the travel ball season and 2) continued film study and intel on prospects.


Updated 2025 Player Rankings

quote:

Since the last update in April, the On3 team has attended numerous travel ball and circuit events along with independent events and practices. With multiple showcases and events taking place every week(end), On3 has also collected streams, and combed through the film as we ensure the maximum exposure of countless events and players.

The ranking process is a continual and often fluid one. On3 starts ranking recruits after their freshman-year travel season, prior to the start of their sophomore high school seasons. That recruit can look a lot different for our final ranking after their senior year championships and all-star games are played.

We have spent the last several weeks working on this 2025 update so that it will reflect the most accurate and current representation of the recruiting cycle. This work has resulted in 17 players making their debut in the 2025 On3 150. We have also continued collecting data on the previously ranked players, putting eyes through the 2025 On3 150 ranking process.

These players have ended the spring sessions of their travel ball seasons and are starting the individual camp and the live scholastic sessions of June. Our next 2025 On3 150 update is scheduled to drop after the July live evaluation period. With multiple updates remaining, there is still a lot of basketball to be played before this class cycle ends.

The goal of the basketball rankings at On3 is to assess a prospect’s long-term potential. As we continue forward, a player’s performance on the court and their continued growth will outweigh the earlier rankings. Again, every player’s arc is different, and each ranking is a snapshot in time.

On3 released its most recent update of the 2025 On3 150 rankings on Monday, and AJ Dybantsa remains atop the list. Dybantsa re-classified into the 2025 class in October and he immediately settled into the No. 1 spot for this cycle, where he has remained since.

Dybantsa, a 6-foot-8 wing, recently announced he would transfer to play his senior season at Hurricane (UT) Utah Prep. He is currently one of eleven five-star prospects in the 2025 class ranking update. He is one of seven Five-Star Plus+ prospects in the 2025 On3 Industry Ranking. The Five-Star Plus+ is an indicator that the player is rated as a five-star prospect across all four major recruiting websites.

The conversation for the No. 1 player in this class came down to two players. Dybantsa and No. 2 ranked Cameron Boozer. Boozer, the son of former NBA all-star and USA Olympic gold medalist Carlos Boozer, is currently leading Nike’s EYBL Circuit in both scoring and rebounding. In fact, the 6-foot-8 power forward is embarking on his senior year of one of the most productive high school careers we have seen over the past decade.

As Boozer wraps up his junior year of high school, the Fort Lauderdale (FL) Christopher Columbus High forward has won three state championships, two Nike Peach Jam championships, and a FIBA gold medal. Winning has simply followed Boozer around. And that is a large reason why he is in this conversation for the No. 1 overall player in the 2025 class. The production that leads to wins.

However, at On3 we have never shied away from transparency in our rankings process. At the end of the day, we are ranking toward NBA Draft night. At this point in the process, as we wrap up this cycle’s junior year of high school, Dybantsa’s attainable ceiling is simply too high to ignore. That is why, after discussion, he remains No. 1 in the 2025 On3 150.


quote:

Dybantsa’s continued production at the highest levels
While AJ Dybantsa’s ceiling is as high as any player in high school basketball, the 6-foot-8 wing is already producing numbers, consistently, at the highest levels he is capable of playing. In fact, it seems that when the viewing lights are the brightest, Dybantsa shows up with top-notch performances.

Dybantsa has a soft scoring touch with length and natural explosive pop. That makes him difficult to guard for many as he can shoot over most at his position or get by most his size. With that said, over the years, we have seen continued growth in the maturity of Dybantsa’s scoring bag.

Throughout the high school season at Napa (CA) Prolific Prep, Dybantsa showed the ability to get into his shot within two and three dribbles. Whether that is with a pull-up jump shot, a straight-line drive at the rim, or a catch-and-shoot three, Dybantsa proved to be an efficient scorer.

The Five-Star Plus+ wing earned MVP honors of the Grind Session, one of the top prep leagues in the country, for the 2023-24 high school season. MaxPreps tells us that he averaged a polished 21.1 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game.

Fast-forward to this travel season. He is playing on the Nike EYBL Circuit with the 14-1 Oakland Soldiers program. He has provided a little bit of a different scoring presence. Dybantsa is doing a lot off the bounce, getting downhill and attacking defenses. Through the 15 games played, Synergy has Dybantsa averaging 22.2 points on 50.2 percent shooting from the field on 14.2 attempts, 38.0 percent from three on 3.3 attempts, and 80.0 percent from the line on 8.3 attempts per game.

Whether he is playing in the up-tempo style of the USA Basketball Junior National Team, the half-court style of Prolific Prep in the Grind Session, or the aggressive downhill style with the Oakland Soldiers, Dybantsa has continued to show a diverse scoring package. With still room to grow, he is able to self-create, score efficiently, and get to the line.

A sneaky part of Dybantsa’s game is his passing. While he will not be misconstrued as a point guard anytime soon, he is able to make reads in the halfcourt and deliver on target to create advantages when defenses are keyed in on him. Dybantsa averaged 3.5 assists during the high school season, he also averaged 3.8 assists last summer during the U16 FIBA Americas championships. While he is a skilled scorer, he is also a willing – and able – distributor.


quote:

The archetype and physical tools
As we have already discussed AJ Dybantsa’s ability to put the ball on the floor and create an offensive advantage, and what makes that so attractive is the natural physical tools that he possesses. Dybantsa is listed across the board at 6-foot-8 or 6-foot-9, already above-average size for a wing at the highest levels of basketball.

Dybantsa’s wing span is listed anywhere from 6-foot-11 to 7-foot-1. Either way, at his height, he is carrying a plus wing span. He is also an explosive and twitchy athlete. While he does not show that side of his game often, it plays a large part in his ability to get downhill and to the rim or to his spots for the pull-up jump shot.

He will need to continue adding strength to his base and core. Ultimately this should only enhance his footwork that he will continue to tighten with game reps. As he continues to add weight to his upper body and torso, it will only enhance his ability to go toward the rim and absorb contact. Dybantsa has a projectable frame that should be able to add weight without losing much – if any – athleticism.

Already with his unique size, length, and athletic makeup, Dybantsa is able to shoot over most players who are as athletic as him and dribble past players who are high size.


quote:

Looking forward and projecting AJ Dybantsa
Successful players, at the highest levels of basketball, are unique. They possess physical tools that not many have, athletic tools that not many have, and skills that not many have. That is why the pool of NBA players in the history of the game is less than 5,000. While there are always outliers, most NBA players have positional size, athleticism, and skill.

What makes a player unique is when you are able to combine all three of those attributes into one. While every player’s developmental patterns are different, there are certain indicators that you look for as players continue to grow and age. With On3 projecting toward the NBA draft, the younger a player is the more variance is available toward the ultimate goal.

AJ Dybantsa checks the positional size box, already entering his senior year of high school. The average height in the NBA for a small forward is 6-foot-6, and some change. The average height for starting small forwards in this season’s NBA playoffs is 6-foot-6.7.

The shooting is valued in today’s game, but so is the creation. An ability to score in a variety of ways whether self-creation or while spacing off the catch, allows for usage versatility. The processing and distribution make things interesting. And the size, length, and twitchy athleticism at least show upside or adequacy on the defensive end.

A look across today’s NBA landscape and we see that high-priced value being placed on wings. Ten of the 20 highest-played players in the league are considered wings. A look at the 2024 NBA Finals and it will feature wings like Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Luka Doncic. AJ Dybantsa still has some things to clean up in his game with the necessary development in front of him. However, a look at potential archetype outcomes fit directly in line with what is valued at the highest levels of basketball.

On Monday, On3 released an updated 2025 On3 150 ranking. The previous update for this class was in April. In the time since the previous update, we have seen half of a high school basketball season pass by. The On3 national team has racked up the air miles along with watching countless hours of streams and film.

This update saw AJ Dybantsa hold serve in the No. 1 spot for the third update. On3 first moved Dybantsa, originally in the 2026 class, to No. 1 when he announced his re-classification in October. Dybantsa has had a strong Spring with the Oakland Soldiers program leading them to a 14-1 overall record while finishing the regular season fourth in scoring on efficient shooting.

On3’s rankings use a baseline of first projecting for the NBA Draft, with a career in the league being a secondary projection tool. Our goal is to assess a prospect’s long-term potential, ultimately manifested by the NBA Draft. We look at a player’s career developmental arc and how their game projects moving forward.


quote:

How close was the race for No. 1?
The discussion for the No. 1 position was not the slam dunk conversation that has happened in the past. Ultimately, AJ Dybantsa maintained his position at the top of the class, however, Cameron Boozer’s continued production, across all levels of play, is very hard to ignore.

Boozer, the 6-foot-8 power forward, is the son of former NBA All-Star and Olympic gold medalist Carlos Boozer. In his high school career, he has won three Florida State championships, two Nike Peach Jam titles, and a FIBA gold medal with the USA Basketball Junior National Team. He has also won MaxPreps National Player of the Year and Gatorade Player of the Year honors.

Yes, Cameron Boozer bleeds production. He is currently leading Nike’s EYBL Circuit in scoring and rebounding for the 13-1 top-ranked Nightrydas program. All of this is what is making things a conversation for the No. 1 player in the class.

With AJ Dybantsa, he has produced as well. Dybantsa’s Napa (FL) Prolific Prep team does not play for a state championship. However, the 6-foot-8 wing did win overall MVP of the Grind Session, the league with which Prolific Prep plays. Along with that, Dybantsa’s 22.2 points are fourth on Nike’s EYBL Circuit this year. He is also shooting 50.2 percent from the field, 38.0 percent from three, and 80.0 percent from the free-throw line. Dybantsa also has a FIBA gold medal with the USA Basketball Junior National Team.

At the end of the day, when putting Dybantsa and Boozer side-by-side, the ceiling of Dybantsa is higher. Some of that might have to do with the potential archetype outcome and in Dybantsa’s case the value of a creating or scoring wing. Boozer’s IQ and feel are nonetheless through the roof, but Dybantsa’s basketball ceiling continues to grow.

For now, Dybantsa remains the No. 1 player in On3’s 2025 cycle, however, it is not a conversation we foresee going away anytime soon.


quote:

Which player(s) are you higher on than others?
Chris Cenac is the obvious one here, however, I have spoken about him a couple of times in other articles. The same with new No. 1 overall point guard Kingston Flemings. Braylon Mullis is another one that On3 was the first to put in the rankings last summer, and he has continued to rise. However, with the spring he has had, I fully expect others to follow suit with Mullins. So for this space, I will write about three guys that On3 bumped higher than the industry for a couple of cycles now, and they continue to add to their games.

Malachi Moreno, On3’s No. 18 overall player in the 2025 On3 150, is a 7-foot-0 center who has length and fluidity. Moreno is a throwback big of sorts, if this was 2005, he would be a consensus top-five type player. However, the game has changed, there is an emphasis on shooting, which brings spacing, and creation, which brings positional fluidity. What still carries great value in the game is rim protection and switchability. Can a big guard in the pick-and-roll and he can defend the paint and the basket? Moreno can do both, very well. He is also a quality area rebounder with an expansive catch radius. Moreno has a natural touch, but he will need to continue cleaning up his jump-shot mechanics. He can score over his left shoulder, but he will need to continue strengthening his base. With that said, the fluidness that Moreno has with his instincts around the basket has him in this range for us.


quote:

Who was the toughest player in the class to rank?
During the last 2025 On3 150 update, the person who was written about in this space was Darius Acuff. The point guard at Bradenton (FL) IMG Academy still remains difficult to place, but at No. 20, not much has changed with him since the last time I wrote about him. So I went in a different direction.

For this question, I want to talk about Will Riley. The 6-foot-8 wing from Malvern (PA) Phelps School. He kept his five-star status, remaining in the top ten (No. 10) of the class. So why is he hard to place, well it is the unique style of his game. The totality of his production is what we are banking on when placing him as a five-star.

While an individual outing might not be the most aesthetic, a grouping of viewings paints a more complete picture. Riley is a scorer, an effective bucket-getter who can self-create and knock down shots. At 6-foot-8, pushing 6-foot-9, he is comfortable on the ball in the half-court. Where he is unique is his use of pace and a herky-jerky cadence.

Riley is capable of touching the paint on the ball. While he might lack top-end burst, he carries an array of hesitation dribbles, up-and-under shots, and off-balance finishes that make him difficult to guard. At his size, playing balanced off two feet, Riley draws a lot of fouls, getting to the free-throw line a good bit.

When looking at his shooting breakdowns, the range of his outcomes can be pretty drastic. One game going 2-9 from three and the next 6-7. However, at the end of the day, just as it did this season, he typically evens out to around 40 percent.

A confident guard/wing with positional size who can self-create, shoot, and draw foul has a lot of value. And just as his 42-point outburst for UPlay Canada in Nike’s EYBL Indiana stop would suggest, while it might not be the most traditional, Riley is producing a valuable rate.

Meleek Thomas, one of the top prospects in the 2025 class, has scheduled two official visits. The 6-foot-3 shooting guard out of Lincoln Park (PA) will make a trip to see Dan Hurley and UConn on June 19-21, followed up by a trip to Arkansas and new coach John Calipari on June 25-27.

The Five-Star Plus+ rising senior has already taken official visits to Pitt, Kentucky (old staff), Auburn, and unofficial visits to Penn State, Indiana, and Villanova.

According to the On3 Industry Ranking, Thomas is the No. 6 overall player in the nation in the 2025 cycle. The On3 Industry Ranking is a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

“I’m already a three-level scorer, but I’m seeing my teammates better when they’re cutting for the ball,” Thomas previously told On3’s Jamie Shaw. “I’m getting to my spots better and scoring easier now. Playing 17u only makes me better. These guys are all going to college next year, so playing up against them improves my game. I take a lot of pieces from a lot of guys in the league. Like Steph Curry for his off-ball movement, LeBron (James) with how dominant he is, and Chris Paul for his point guard skills.”


quote:

Meleek Thomas Scouting Report
“Meleek Thomas is a bucket-getter who is wired to score. He is electric when it comes to shooting the ball with range that extends well beyond the three-point arc and the confidence that extends to any level. He has good length with some quick-twitch pop to his game. Thomas is able to carve out space off the bounce. His dribble can get him open, and he has the ability to contort his body to get his shoulders squared upon release. He will need to continue adding weight to his frame. Scoring comes so easily to him, he can get shot happy. Thomas is a good on-ball defender and has natural instincts in the passing lanes. he is tracking as one of the top guards, nationally, in his class.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw

quote:

Five-star guard Meleek Thomas is as well-traveled as any prospect in the 2025 class. The in-demand point guard has already logged a long list of visits, both official and unofficial, and now seems to be ready to polish off his summer travel itinerary with two important trips.

“I haven’t totally finalized the dates yet, but after talking to my family and my teammates and stuff, I’m pretty sure June 19-21 will be UConn and June 25-27 will be Arkansas,” Thomas said on Monday.

The two upcoming official visits seem vital to the five-star’s process, as his long-standing relationship with new Razorback head coach John Calipari and UConn’s pitch and pedigree make both programs serious players in Thomas’ recruitment – a recruitment the five-star says he hopes to have wrapped up prior to his senior season.

“At first, I was going to commit on Aug. 6 because I wanted to commit on my birthday, but then coaching changes and stuff happened so I had to push it back,” Thomas said. “I probably have to take a visit in August so it’s going to be maybe September now, but definitely before my senior season.”

According to Thomas, Pitt, Auburn, Kansas, Miami and Indiana join UConn and Arkansas as serious players in his process and he remains in contact with Kansas State and Alabama.

I could see Cal pairing Brazile with Aidoo and pairing Thiero with Big Z. That would make it so we would always have a big on the floor who’s a legit 3 point threat.

This is what I was thinking. I could see it being a matchup problem where if a team goes small Brazile and another big could dominate inside. If the other team goes big Brazile would be a matchup nightmare because he can spread the floor.

7. 4-star SF Cam Ward (2025)
Cam Ward has had a very productive Fall on Nike’s EYBL Circuit, and the 6-foot-7 wing has continued that trend this weekend. He is a length and strong forward who is comfortable playing downhill or guarding multiple positions. Ward is an above the rim player in transition and he aggressively attacks the basket in the half-court. His motor got him into position to finish a lot of plays this weekend. He had a good sense of the game, and always seemed to be in a good spot to make a play. He went over 20 points for multiple games and played efficiently which also added to his production.


quote:

9. 4-star SG Kayden Edwards
Kayden Edwards came into the event with a reputation as a shot-maker. The 6-foot-3 guard did nothing to dispel that conversation. He has the ability to heat up quickly, putting ample numbers on the board fast. Edwards has a smooth jump shot with range, that he takes confidently. The long-armed lefty has a quick release and excellent balance, which enables him to often get a clean look. He is decisive in transition and finishes with touch as he absorbs contact around the basket. Edwards did a good job of getting to the free-throw line. He has a unique ability to score, and do so in a microwave manner. He hoovered around the 20-point mark throughout the weekend.

Five-Star Plus+ SG Meleek Thomas (2025) – In a camp setting, things can go left relatively quickly. With Meleek Thomas, the energy he brought to the court was non-stop. Thomas is an electric scorer, able to get to his spots on the floor and get a clean look. His defensive intensity stood out in this setting.


quote:

3-star SG Courtland Muldrew (2025) – Courtland Muldrew is an aggressive downhill driver, and he is at his best when he is able to get a head of steam going to the basket. In the camp games that opened up and turned into track meets, Muldrew was at his best. He is fast and has a confidence guarding the ball.


quote:

4-star SG Jacob Lanier (2026) – Jacob Lanier continues to not only showcase a smooth floor game but also a lot of confidence. He was comfortable at Pangos playing on and off the ball, he showed athleticism in the open floor, awareness on defense, and handle when he was on the ball. He has good size and had a consistently productive weekend.

Regardless of rumors etc., I think the underlying problem beyond Muss being checked out and ready for a change was his love of Devo. He had some great tourney moments, but Muss giving him a pass to basically quit two years in a row, and a never ending leash of turning the ball over in critical moments had to grate on a lot of these transfers who were clearly better players

CAMP MVP: Meleek Thomas


quote:

Thomas missed day one of camp because of flight cancellations, but his two-day performance was impressive enough to persuade camp organizers to choose him as Pangos All-American MVP.

Thomas is as versatile a two-way guard as there is in the 2025 Rivals150, and he proved it again in Las Vegas, impacting games on both ends of the floor as well as on the glass, where he rebounds incredibly positionally. Thomas impacts winning in a number of ways, but his mental engagement in the camp as well as his vocal leadership in the all-star setting also popped off the page.

Thomas went for 16 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds in one Monday game, a stat total that was indicative of his larger, two-day performance.

Recruitment: Thomas is set to visit UConn on June 19 and Arkansas on June 25. The Huskies and Razorbacks join Pitt, Auburn, Kansas, Miami and Indiana as the programs at the center of his recruitment.

Figure we're in probably the best shape to land some of these guys.

1. We have the spots. Many do not.
2. We have the money.
3. See 1 and 2.
