2025 DaRon Dunbar (Stars Basketball / North Augusta)
Dunbar has been a consistent presence all summer long and it was great to see college programs really starting to notice his impact and his game. Dunbar continues to flourish in a variety of roles, showing himself to be a true leader on the court for Stars Basketball. He finds ways to be successful offensively in an array of ways, using a physical feel to attack and finish strong, being comfortable in stepping out and knocking down shots, and having a competitive edge on both sides of the ball. Dunbar just finds ways to impact the game, doing what is needed and producing consistently. I believe he had a more eye-opening summer in showing more about his game.
2025 Tobias Pike (Blessed (TX) / Homeschooled)
Pike is a player that we hadn’t heard about but after watching him during our LIVE event, I believe he could pop up on more radars for college programs. The 6’8 forward was able to flourish in a variety of ways and had such a strong feel for the game at his position. Pike has a strong frame that allows him to not only be useful in the post along with his touch around the basket, but he also got it done in showcasing his vision, his feel, his two-way instincts, and his ability to step out at times. Pike was able to really flourish and be an anchor for his team on both sides of the court.
2025 MJ Williams (Team Trezz / Farmville Central)
If you want to talk about a breakout-type player, Williams would be high on that list and we believe that college coaches should be running his way in what he provides. As a smaller guard, Williams has an electric feel in his game and can absolutely fill it up offensively. He is crafty and quick with the ball in his hands, is an exceptional creator out in transition, and finds ways to score well over defenders inside the lane, but he can also hurt you from outside. Williams should hold multiple offers and we believe with what he showed this summer, he will be a hot target for many in the upcoming high school season.
2025 Viktor Alao (Mint Hill Lakers / Bull City National)
Alao is one that I believe made more of a name for himself and was a consistent presence for his team throughout. Alao brings a nice feel and impact to the court, as he has good size, is comfortable in various roles, can hurt you from the outside with his perimeter game, and displays athleticism off the dribble and attacking the basket. He plays with a toughness to his game and competes on both sides of the court, as he was fairly consistent all throughout the summer for his team. Alao could be a sneaky prospect to keep an eye on in the Class of 2025.
