NCAA Basketball: Top 10 early winners of 2025 recruiting classes

10. Alabama Crimson Tide

It’s surprising to this point that the Tide doesn’t have a five-star commitment, but they still have a top-10 class, thanks to a talented trio of commits. Davion Hannah is a 6’5 "shooting guard, while London Jemison is a 6’8" wing, both ranked in the top-40 in the class.

Add top-74 small forward Amari Allen; Alabama has a nice crop of players. Based on how Derrion Reid looks and with Chris Youngblood being a senior, there’s going to be a need for wing depth and they accomplished that with this group.

9. Kansas Jayhawks

Another year, another 5-star commit for the Jayhawks, landing Darryn Petterson. The 6’5 shooting guard is ranked No. 3 overall and set to be the future replacement for seniors Zeke Mayo and David Coit. Even if they add more transfers, Petterson will likely be a starter on the 2025-26 roster.

The other recent pickup was Bryson Tiller, a power forward and ranked in the top-20. He’ll be the future replacement for KJ Adams and give depth in the frontcourt. Four-star Samis Calderon is a 6’8 wing who, like Tiller, plays at Overtime Elite, a recruiting factory for the Jayhawks.
