NORTH 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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Thomas is also rescheduling his Arkansas visit and would like to see Alabama and Kansas coming up, likely in September, but no dates. The guard will set a top five to eight schools after Peach. Click above for Kansas and Alabama breakdowns as well as more on the UConn official visit.
Acuff is no longer considering UConn as he nears a decision between Kansas, Arkansas and Michigan, per Joe Tipton of On3. My guess would be he is a Razorback. Acuff will commit on Friday, July 26 at the ACC Youth Center in Highland Park (MI), per his Instagram.
Haralson is down to nine schools and is planning official visits to Duke, Gonzaga, Kansas and Purdue. He broke down his entire top nine including those four schools he wants to visit plus Auburn, Indiana, Michigan State, Missouri and Notre Dame above.
Johnson is fresh off official visits to Alabama and Illinois in June. He broke down those visits plus a few other schools in contact like Baylor, Kentucky and North Carolina above. Johnson has no timetables for visits, making a list or committing right now.
ZAGSBLOG has not had a chance to catch up with Burries at Peach Jam, but last time he was interviewed at the Kansas City session, he said he was open to all of his options. Click his name for that story.
McKenney has scheduled an official visit with Michigan beginning Sept. 21 he told ZAGSBLOG. He’ll get to watch the Wolverines play USC in football.

Aristode has had a busy summer with camps, playing with the Netherlands men’s national team and Peach Jam. He will relax with his family after Peach and then cut his list and visit his final schools. He recently took an unofficial to USC and is hearing from programs like Arizona, Duke, UConn, UCLA, Virginia and Wake Forest. ZAGSBLOG has not chatted with Boozer on the recruiting front at Peach Jam. Last time he was interviewed it was Miami, Duke, UNC, Kentucky and Arkansas recruiting him hardest.

Yessoufou has set an official visit to Baylor beginning Aug. 31 and plans to see Kentucky, Tennessee, Kansas and UConn in September. No exact dates yet. On Tuesday, Yessoufou picked up an offer from UConn. He’s also fresh off an official visit to Arizona. He breaks that down, plus Baylor, Kansas, Tennessee, UConn, USC and UCLA above. White is committed to Syracuse and the only player locked into Adrian Autry’s 2025 class. However, he is actively recruiting Kiyan Anthony and Tyler Jackson to join him. They are after a national title to return Syracuse to glory. White is also recruiting Acaden Lewis, he told ZAGSBLOG. “I’m trying to get Acaden, bring Kiyan home,” White said. “We’re trying to make it big man. I’m doing my part.” On Jackson wanting to bring a national title: “That’s the main goal man. Put the Cuse back on top.” Full story coming to ZAGSBLOG.
