Dynamic Prep competes against the Bullis Bulldogs in the City of Palms Classic signature series championship game at Suncoast Credit Union Arena in Fort Myers, Fla., on Sunday, Dec. 22, 2024.

One of the nation’s top high school basketball programs is set to join a prominent league next season.

Coming out of Irving, Texas, Dynamic Prep made a big splash in the 2024-25 season, winning more than 30 games while also making a run to the Chipotle Nationals championship game. Now, the Bearcats will be joining Overtime Elite’s league. The league confirmed a report from 247Sports’ Travis Branham on Friday via X.

Based out of Atlanta, Overtime Elite has become a premier destination for top programs and top prospects. The previous season featured eight teams and some of the best in the 2025 cycle, including five-star shooting guard Meleek Thomas (Arkansas signee), four-star point guard Jasper Johnson (Kentucky) and a slew of other Power Four signees.

Dynamic Prep is led by former NBA star forward Jermaine O’Neal. The Bearcats finished last season as the No. 9 team in the nation and No. 3 team in Texas, according to the On3 Composite Rankings.

Perhaps flying under the radar for much of last season, Dynamic Prep made a big splash in the Chipotle Nationals back in April. It defeated Montverde Academy (Fla.), Link Academy (Mo.) and Prolific Prep (Calif.) before losing a battle to top-ranked Columbus (Fla.) on April 5.

The roster was led by a pair of SMU signees in four-star center Jaden Toombs and four-star small forward Jermaine O’Neal Jr., both of whom are top-100 recruits and top-10 players in the Lone Star State in the 2025 cycle.

The returning roster is set to include two of the best in the 2027 cycle in five-star shooting guard Ryan Hampton and four-star small forward Marcus Spears Jr.
