No. 13 Alabama Crimson Tide
London Jemison- 4 star- # 32 nationally
Davion Hannah- 4 star- # 48 nationally
Amari Allen- 4 star- # 75 nationally
It doesn't matter what the roster looks like for the Crimson Tide; they are going to get production from their freshman. 2025 is the season when head coach Nate Oats doesn't have a surefire NBA prospect heading into the offseason but still has a ton of talent and players who are going to contribute to winning for the new SEC powerhouse.
Jemison is an efficient offensive scorer who can score from all three levels of the court. His game is perfect for the Alabama offense. Hannah is a great athlete who excels at getting downhill to the basket and often gets fouled. He is a streaky shooter, but he will be relied upon to get to the rim. He has a ceiling that resembles Mark Sears's. Allen will play multiple positions and is an efficient offensive player who can shoot and draw fouls. Oats has recruited the perfect players for his system.
No. 12 Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Jalen Haralson – 4 star - # 20 nationally
Brady Koehler – 4 star - # 78 nationally
Ryder Frost – 4 star - # 79 nationally
Tommy Ahneman – 3 star - # 152 nationally
The goal of every new coach is to get things moving in a positive direction by the end of their third season. That shows meaningful progress and gives the fan base hope. That is the goal of Notre Dame and head coach Micah Shrewsberry. Shrewsberry has always been known for his ability to recruit, and he finally has a fantastic recruiting class in South Bend to jumpstart the rebuild.
Haralson is a talented player who initiates offense from all over the floor. He is a good shooter, but he is at his best when he exploits mismatches and gets to the rim. Koehler is a significant asset on the defensive end of the floor. He can be an elite shot blocker. Frost is a catch-and-shoot three-point shooter who shot over 40% from beyond the arc in high school. Ahneman is a back-to-the-basket post who is effective on his left or his right.
