NCAA Basketball: Top 10 early winners of 2025 recruiting classes

4. Duke Blue Devils

With other coaches moving around, it’s not a surprise who, once again, has the No. 1 overall class. This one will feel a little more special for Blue Devil fans, landing the five-star Boozer brother. Cameron Boozer is ranked No. 2 overall, while Cayden Boozer is a top-20 point guard, both being the sons of former Duke legend, Carlos Boozer.

The other two commits in the class are five-star commits as well. Sheldon Henderson is a 6’6 wing who picked Duke over Louisville, while Nicolas Khemenia is a top-20 power forward and one of the best players in California. It’s another strong class that may end up remaining No. 1 overall.

3. Houston Cougars

Before this Fall, Houston’s highest-rated commit out of high school was 5-star forward Jarace Walker. He has been passed up by two players in this class. Kingston Flemings is a top-20 point guard prospect from San Antonio, while Isaih Harwell is a top-15 overall shooting guard, who picked the Cougars over Gonzaga in the process.

Now in the Big 12, Houston’s recruiting has to be at the highest levels to maintain championship status. They’ve done that so far and could end up being the biggest winner overall by the class finalization this Summer.
