Spring live evaluation periods and early travel ball season lead to 2025 On3 150 Ranking update

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

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. 

Updated 2025 Player Rankings

Here are some storylines from On3’s fourth update of a full 150 for the 2025 class. 

Grading the 2025 On3 150

The basketball player rankings scale is as follows: Five-star prospects have grades 98-100, four-star recruits have grades 90-97, and 80-89 grades are for three stars.

The first 10 prospects are five starts with a rating of 98 or higher. The players ranked No. 11 to 110 are classified as four-star prospects with grades from 90-97. The remainder of the 150 and position rankings are considered three-star prospects. 

Our goal is to assess a prospect’s long-term potential, ultimately manifested by the NBA Draft. The goal of the ranking is not to assess who had the best high school career or who will be the best college player. This is why we will shoot to end each cycle with 14 five-star prospects following the lead of the NBA Draft Lottery. The vision is draft night.

AJ Dybantsa maintains spot at No. 1

The conversation for the No. 1 spot in this ranking update took a little longer than the previous one. While AJ Dybantsa held on to the top position, Cameron Boozer has continued to consistently produce at the highest levels.

There is a noted expectation that we have each time Boozer steps on the court. The floor is high with the 6-foot-8 power forward with his ability to dribble, shoot, and pass. The son of former NBA all-star and US Olympian Carlos Boozer is also an excellent rebounder and an ultimate competitor. He has won multiple Peach Jam titles, multiple state titles, and a FIBA gold medal with USA Basketball. In each setting has produced numbers, currently leading Nike’s EYBL Circuit in scoring and rebounding with the No. 1 ranked Nightrydas program.

While Cameron Boozer most certainly has a high floor, the ceiling of 6-foot-8 small forward AJ Dybantsa is quite similar to what wings look like at the highest levels of basketball. Dybantsa is an explosive and twitchy athlete with great length and a frame that projects toward being able to add quality weight as he continues to grow. The natural physical tools he possesses translate quickly as he raises in level.

Where things with Dybantsa shine is the scoring acumen he continues to show. Through 15 Nike EYBL Circuit games with the Oakland Soldiers, the Five-Star Plus+ wing is averaging 22.2 points per game. Per Synergy, he is shooting 50.2 percent from the field on 14.2 attempts and 38.0 percent from three on 3.3 attempts. He is scoring in a multitude of ways, from each level, while getting the other team’s top perimeter defender and game plan. He is scoring 1.047 points per possession in EYBL gameplay.

The consistently high production value Boozer brings to the table is enticing and has him firmly in this conversation. However, the ceiling that Dybantsa continues to show is among the highest in high school basketball.

Chris Cenac adds his fifth star

This ranking update saw the five-star players move from ten to 11. Welcome Chris Cenac to the conversation. The 6-foot-10 power forward from Baton Rouge (LA) Isadore Newman moved from No. 18 to No. 6 in the latest update.

Cenac’s rise into the top ten has been a steady climb. He first moved into the top 25 of On3’s 2025 ratings in the October 2023 update. He then moved into the top-20 in January of 2024 where he remained for the April 2024 update.

What first opened our eyes to Cenac was the natural athletic fluidity he had with his size and length. There simply are not many 6-foot-10 players who are able to move like he is. When you added in the comfort and touch he showed in stepping out and shooting the corner three, the upside was noticeable. Since that initial rankings bump, Cenac has continued to grow his game.

He is now starting to fill out physically. Showing a strong base and core. It has helped him score around the basket, establishing position and taking contact while scoring over his left and right shoulder. However, where Cenac has really grown his game is rebounding. During the USA Basketball Junior National Team Final Four Minicamp, Cenac was the best rebounder in the building. Cenac is still an upside defender able to switch and slide as well as protect the rim. He is also a capable pick-and-pop shooter.

The development has been on a steep slope over the past 12 months, and the 6-foot-10 forward simply continues to grow.

Kingston Flemings has taken over as the No. 1 PG?

The top-ranked point guard in the 2025 class for this update is Kingston Flemings at No. 14. In all there are seven point guards ranked among the top 50 players and three among the top 25.

No. 14 Kingston Flemings
No. 20 Darius Acuff
No. 23 Mikel Brown
No. 29 Cayden Boozer
No. 32 Savo Drezgic
No. 39 Chance Mallory
No. 46 Nyk Lewis
