Bossi's Best: Biggest spring stock boosters from the class of 2025

Up until a few years ago, spring recruiting was focused on a few key transfers and remaining unsigned seniors while the majority of the basketball world focused on the spring live periods and the next wave of rising senior talent that major programs were locking in on. Now, the college basketball transfer portal dominates the months of April and May.With the growing importance of the portal, the NCAA cut the number of weekends that schools could go out to scout top grassroots talent from two to just one and moved that live window from the month of April to May. So, this year’s crop of rising seniors (class of 2025) haven’t had as much of a chance to play in front of college coaches as those who came before them.

However, that doesn’t mean that high school recruiting has lost importance. In fact, there are more opportunities than ever for prospects to earn attention via various shoe company leagues, USA Basketball events and other grassroots tournaments and camp showcases.

Just because the coaches aren’t out as much, scouting service representatives and those who report on and cover recruiting tirelessly, like we do here at 247Sports, are out on the road more than ever. We have remained committed to making sure that up-and-coming talent gets unearthed while those who entered the spring already ranked get a chance to move up.

Later this month we’ll be updating national rankings for the classes of 2025 and 2026. As we prepare to meet as a group and discuss who should be moving up, who should be moving in and who needs to be watched more, I wanted to take a minute and single out some talents from the class of 2025.

These are just some of the players that I believe have put themselves in a position to earn either a promotion to their current ranking or a move from outside of the 2025 top-150 into the national rankings.

The next few weeks will tell how much the rest of the 247Sports recruiting staff agrees or disagrees with me, but as we prepare to engage in rankings discussions, I wanted to highlight a baker’s dozen of prospects who have caught my eye and impressed during my grassroots travels this spring.
