We evaluate hundreds of men's basketball prospects in each recruiting cycle, and we narrow our rankings to the ESPN 100 for the senior class, ESPN 60 for the junior class and ESPN 25 for sophomores.
But how do they compare against each other? After all, there are some juniors who are better than seniors.
We ranked the top 25 recruits regardless of class, pitting the No. 1 senior (D.J. Wagner) against the No. 1 junior (Tre Johnson) and the No. 1 sophomore (Cameron Boozer).
This list is an evaluation of the eye test, character traits, film work and metrics.
