By SAM LANCENORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. — While the coaches left Peach Jam, ZAGSBLOG stayed behind to catch up with the top 2025 prospects in the Nike EYBL circuit. The live period is set to resume on Friday and coaches will be allowed back in the gym to watch prospects up close.With that, you need to know the latest recruitment buzz on the top prospects to know which coaches to look out for courtside. So without further ado, here are updates on every five-star player in the 2025 class.
AJ Dybantsa
The No. 1 player in 2025 will be cutting his list by the end of July. He will then visit his final schools and make a decision. Click on his name above for breakdowns of Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Baylor, BYU, Duke, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, UConn, USC.
Cameron Boozer
Things are quiet on the recruiting front for Boozer, as he likes to keep things in house.Last time he chatted with ZAGSBLOG, it was Miami, Duke, UNC, Michigan, Florida and Arkansas recruiting him hardest. ZAGSBLOG asked Boozer at Peach Jam if there are any other schools joining the mix.“It’s still the same,” he said.Boozer also said he doesn’t have any visits planned.“You’ll see,” he said when asked about timetables for setting those.
Caleb Wilson
Wilson plans on cutting his list in the coming weeks after Peach Jam, he told ZAGSBLOG. He has several official visits set in stone, but no dates will be released. He doesn’t want any distractions and wants to get down to business while visiting schools. Full story updating Wilson’s recruitment coming soon.
Meleek Thomas
Thomas is fresh off a visit to UConn, which he really enjoyed. Dan Hurley said he himself is a badass, and so is Thomas, so he should come to Storrs.
