2025 college basketball recruiting rankings as March Madness tops off
The NCAA basketball madness tips off in March. The madness of the recruiting game is a year-round fast break.

Another sport saturated in NIL and transfer portal buzz, the class of 2025 has been one of the more notable in recent years. NBA legacy names like Anthony and Boozer are part of a talented group who will undoubtedly be part of top seeding in tournaments to come (at least for one season).
