On Monday, On3 released an updated 2024 On3 150 ranking. The previous ranking update for this class was in July. In the time since the previous update, we have had Peach Jam, each of the shoe circuit’s finales, elite camps, and more. The On3 national team has picked up the air miles, along with watching countless hours of streams and film. 

This update saw Cameron Boozer come in at No. 1. The July update had Cooper Flagg there, but he has since classified up to the 2024 class. Boozer won – a lot – in June and July. The five-star line held firm at eight players for this update, but with Flagg and Jayden Quaintance both reclassifying, we also saw two new five-star prospects in this update. Isiah Harwell (No. 5) and Moustapha Thiam (No. 8) making their move.

On3’s rankings use a baseline of first projecting for the NBA Draft, with a career in the league being a secondary projection tool. Our goal is to assess a prospect’s long-term potential, ultimately manifest by the NBA Draft. We look at a player’s career developmental arc and how each of their games projects moving forward. 

Storylines from the 2025 On3 150 update

Here are some of the hot topic questions, applied to the 2025 class, that we get after each update.

How close was the race for No. 1?

This one was a quick conversation. While with previous 2025 On3 150 updates, this conversation lasted a little longer; when Cooper Flagg announced he would be reclassifying into the 2024 cycle, Cameron Boozer was the natural choice. 

Boozer’s resume up to this point in his high school career is robust, to say the least. In two years of high school basketball, he has won two Florida 7A State Championships. In two years of Nike EYBL Circuit play, he has won two Nike EYBL Peach Jam Championships. Playing in his first FIBA event with USA Basketball this summer, he won a gold medal. 

This year, his sophomore year of high school, Boozer earned MaxPreps National Player of the Year, Gatorade National Player of the Year, and Gatorade Florida State Player of the Year. He was a finalist for the Naismith High School Player of the Year and the MVP of the FIBA Americas U16 Championships. 

Long term, Boozer has a high floor. His production has been consistent; no matter the setting, no matter the competition, Boozer gets his numbers. The son of former NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer, Cameron has good length with a naturally strong and broad frame. He can stretch the floor with his feet set, is very tough around the basket, and is a natural area rebounder. 

The production, at this point, is unmatched among his peers. 

Which players are you higher on than others?

There are a couple of players in this class that fall into this category. Typically, at this point in the recruiting cycles, entering their junior years of high school, players are starting to step into their own identity. 

Every player’s journey is uniquely their own, and their developmental arcs are different. Moustapha Thiam, No. 8 in the update, is a 7-foot-1 center who is originally from Senegal and plays at Daytona Beach (FL) DME Academy. He moves in a way that is unique for players his size. He can slide his feet, open his hips, run, and jump. Thiam is a good defender, and he has a natural touch with the ball in his hands. Still, with a lot of upside, he is one who mixes current production with a high ceiling still to grow into.

Chris Cenac, No. 22 in the update, is a player from New Orleans (LA) Isadore Newman School. He stands in the 6-foot-8/6-foot-9 range with long arms and fluid mobility. Watching him play this summer, it was hard not to think of Noah Clowney. The two moved in a similar way, played in a similar way, and are built in a similar way. Cenac averaged 10.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks through Peach Jam while shooting 74.4 percent from the free-throw line with confidence from the corners.

John Clark and Will Riley are two other players that I am very intrigued by. Clark, No. 27 in the update, is a 6-foot-8 forward with a good frame and enjoys doing the tough guy stuff. He can also finish at the rim and step out and knock down threes with his feet set. Riley, No. 19 in the update, is a 6-foot-8 guard/wing. He is comfortable with the ball in his hands and able to create offense in a unique way, especially in the midrange. 

Who was the toughest player in the class to rank?

Jacob Wilkins, No. 21 in the update, is the player who immediately comes to mind. He is a 6-foot-8, fluid and explosive wing. He has a natural explosion that really shows when he gets out in transition. Then you have the genetics; he is the son of Basketball Hall of Fame member Dominique Wilkins.

The upside with Wilkins is clear, but it is still early in his developmental curve, meaning there is a way to go before he gets to his overall ceiling. However, he is also someone that we have seen continue to improve while possessing immense natural tools and basketball bloodlines.

Stay tuned.

Which player could you see outplaying their ranking?

At this point in the cycle, players are still growing. Their frames, their games, their processing, very few – if any – players listed in the 2025 On3 150 are finished products. Over the next two years and beyond, we should see a lot of growth within this group of players who were identified early. 

Names like Chuck Love and Xavion Staton popped into my head when first reading this question, but for the purposes of this writing, I am going to talk about Kingston Flemings

Flemings, No. 68 in the recent update, is a point guard out of San Antonio (TX) Brennan High. He has a lot of tools, good length, a quick handle, burst, and toughness. He is in the process of putting it all together. While he had a good season, averaging around 15 points, 5 assists, and 2 steals, shooting 40 percent from three, there are still some inconsistencies in his game. Flemings has been in our rankings since we debuted the 2025 class three updates ago. He has climbed with each update. He is one that I would not be surprised if we looked at this time next year, and he took a significant jump.
