1) Duke (465 pts)
#1 Cooper Flagg
#14 Kon Knueppel
#16 Isaiah Evans
#24 Pat Ngongba
#35 Darren Harris
#51 Khaman Maluach
Duke gets the consensus #1 player (Flagg) and the consensus #1 class and the point total could have been higher if Malauch (a top 10 talent) had been ranked by all the services.
2) Alabama (294 pts)
#13 Derrion Reid
#21 Aiden Sherrell
#32 Labaron Philon
#44 Naasir Cunningham
Jarin Stevenson
Nate Oats stocks up with the type of class of the caliber not typically seen at Bama.
3) Arkansas (237 pts)
#17 Boogie Fland
#22 Karter Knox
#27 Billy Richmond
Cal's class, if he had stayed on Kentucky, would have easily been the #2 class in the country with 411 pts. Still he managed to bring half of that class to Arkansas to start his rebuilding project.
4) Baylor (225 pts)
#4 V.J. Edgecombe
#25 Robert Wright III
#49 Jason Asemota
The Bears continue stacking up talent in Waco.
5) Arizona (209)
#20 Carter Bryant
#23 Joson Sanon
#51 Jamari Phillips
Essentially three top 50 recruits is a great class by any standard.
6) Rutgers (197 pts)
#2 Ace Bailey
#3 Dylan Harper
The Scarlet Knights are the surprise of this recruiting season landing an historic class with the #2 and #3 players.
7) Connecticut (195 pts)
#10 Liam McNeeley
#35 Ahmad Nowell
#63 Isaiah Abraham
The Huskies repeat as national champs and repeat with another top 10 class. Hurley is on a roll big time.
8) North Carolina (193 pts)
#6 Ian Jackson
#11 Drake Powell
#93 James Brown
Hubert Davis brings in a small but stellar class.
9) Georgia (149 pts)
#11 Asa Newell
#42 Somto Cyril
Cyril was a late addition after rethinking his Kentucky commitment when Calipari left. The Bulldogs benefitted from this round of musical chairs.
10) Miami (148 pts)
#7 Jalil Bethea
#47 Austin Swartz
Isaiah Johnson-Argu
After a disappointing 2023-24 season, this infusion of talent should help.
