It never hurts to promote the Class of 2025.
A lot of these kids were getting their first looks on the high school court. Some got experience as eight graders and beyond. Still, many of these names are under the radar. I will try and avoid some of the high-profile names as many South Florida fans already know the top players in this class.
Let’s jump into it...
