NCAA Basketball: Top 10 early winners of 2025 recruiting classes

It's been a strong start for the 2024 NCAA Basketball freshmen class, with a number of newcomers having big performances. And with the covid year seniors going away after this season, looking for freshmen to get back to having a sizeable impact on the sport.

The annual signing day for high school commits have recently passed, with a number of five-star prospects announcing their intentions to join respective teams for the 2025-26 campaign. There are still plenty of star prospects available, including top-10 targets, Caleb Wilson, Koa Peat, Nate Ament, and the No. 1 class of 2025 player, AJ Dybantsta.

There are a number of programs who have landed multiple commitments in the 2025 class so far, including some making history. Here's a power ranking of the 10 teams with the most successful classes to this point, including a few honorable mentions.

Honorable Mention: Syracuse Orange

The Orange cracked the top-10 this week with the commitment of Kiyan Anthony, the son of Syracuse legend, Carmelo Anthony. But they got another top-40 commitment in Sadiq White, a talented 6'8 forward. Australian guard Luke Fennell is also a four-star commit to the program.

HM: Michigan Wolverines

Coach Dusty May's first recruiting class is looking like a success, landing a pair of 4-star wings (Winters Grady and Oscar Goodman), along with Trey McKenney, a 6'5 shooting guard who at one point was a five-star target, currently in the top-25 overall.

HM: Mississippi State Bulldogs

Mississippi State isn't normally up there with the SEC recruiting heavyweights but they have a top-10 overall class, including landing Jamarion Davis-Fleming, a 6'9 center who is the top player in the state. Four-star guard prospect King Grace is the highest-ranked at 46 overall.
