NCAA Basketball Recruiting: Analyzing top 9 teams for 2025 top-40 SG Davion Hannah

Pittsburgh Panthers

The two main shooting guards on the roster for Pittsburgh are Ishmael Leggett and Damian Dunn, who are both entering their 5th and final years in college. The position will be wide open for Hannah or any other class of 2025 guard to commit. Other four-star targets include Adrien Stevens and Aceden Lewis, as well as 5-star guard target, Meleek Thomas.

Wisconsin Badgers

It was a rough offseason for the Badgers at the shooting guard position, losing both Connor Essegian and AJ Storr to the transfer portal. But with returning guards Kamari McGee and Max Klesmit and incoming transfer John Tonje all being seniors, there’s a clear path for Hannah to not only return back home but possibly start as a freshman. Wisconsin already has two commits in the 2025 class and Hannah would be the prize of the group if he picked them.

Xavier Musketeers

The Musketeers have a bunch of senior guards in their rotation for next season, including Marcus Foster, Dante Maddox, and Cam’Ron Fletcher. Former top-100 prospect Dailyn Swain is the only other underclassmen off-guard on the roster, with no commits in either the 2024 or 2025 class. With star guard Desmond Claude gone, look for Coach Sean Miller to focus on finding at least a couple of lead guards to replace the current seniors.

Of the nine options, Pittsburgh, Wisconsin, and Louisville are the ones with clear pathways to playing time. Can the local Badgers win this recruitment out? They’ve struggled with previous top prospects from the state of Wisconsin but after that happened this offseason, they have plenty of pressure to try to win this battle.
