INTEL: Breaking down the top-100 prospects and their recruitments

By ADAM ZAGORIA, SAM LANCE & CHARLIE PARENT

It’s now a recruiting period for college basketball and several prospects are starting to really get down to business with their recruitments. With that, you need to know the latest on what’s happening with all of the top prospects.

Here’s the latest intel on every player in the top-100. For commits, you can click on their name for the ZAGSBLOG commitment story. For players without a final decision, click the names for the latest story.

#1 A.J. Dybantsa — BYU Commit

#2 Cameron Boozer — Duke Commit

#3 Darryn Peterson — Kansas Commit

#4 Nate Ament

• Schools involved: Top 11 of Alabama, Arkansas, BYU, Duke, Georgetown, Louisville, Kansas State, Kentucky, Notre Dame, Tennessee and Texas.
• Official visits set: Kansas State (Feb. 11).
• Other visits taken: Notre Dame (Nov. 9), Tennessee (Oct. 19), Louisville (Oct. 11), Duke (Oct. 4), Texas (Sept. 27), Virginia unofficials (October 2022 and January 2024). Duke unofficial (September 2023).

Ament recently announced his top 11 schools and a first-ever equity NIL deal with Fanstake.

It’s likely this decision stretches out a while until the spring, especially with a Kansas State visit scheduled for early February. This recruitment has a long way to go and any school could make a late push. Monitoring his visits will be important.

#5 Darius Acuff — Arkansas Commit

#6 Koa Peat

• Schools involved: Top five of Arizona, Arizona State, Baylor, Houston, and Texas.
• Official visits set: None.
• Other visits taken: Baylor (Oct. 24-26), Arizona (Oct. 4), Arizona State (Aug. 30), Houston (June 2024). Michigan, North Carolina and Texas all last year.

Koa Peat has a top five of Arizona, Arizona State, Baylor, Houston and Texas. He’s visited all of his finalists, so a decision could be looming. No commitment date has been set yet.

The power forward has shown loyalty to his hometown teams before, opting against the prep route and staying with Perry for all four years of high school. Arizona and Arizona State could be the schools to look out for.

#7 Mikel Brown Jr. — Louisville Commit

#8 Caleb Wilson

• Schools involved: Top 12 of Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Duke, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio State, Oregon, Tennessee, UCF and USC.
• Official visits set: None.
• Other visits taken: Ohio State (Oct. 26), Tennessee (Oct. 11), North Carolina (Oct. 4), UCF (Sept. 27-29), Kentucky (Sept. 13). Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee, Stanford, Kentucky, Georgia Tech. USC unofficial Aug. 22.

Wilson could be closing in on an announcement and is expected to decide between Kentucky and North Carolina. For more on Wilson, check out the latest episode of ZAGSPOD.

#9 Brayden Burries

• Schools involved: Arizona, Duke, Houston, Oregon, UCLA, USC and others.
• Official visits set: Tennessee (Jan. 21).
• Other visits taken: Oregon, USC (unofficial), Alabama (Sept. 27). Arizona (February 2024). Unofficial to UCLA.

Burries is likely to be nearing a decision after his official visit to Tennessee. He’s tripped Oregon, Alabama and Arizona officially and those schools will be in the mix in addition to the Vols for his final decision. Burries also has a segment on the latest episode of ZAGSPOD.

Jackson’s recruitment has been quiet. Last time ZAGSBLOG caught up with the explosive Overtime Elite point guard, he discussed the possibility of playing with Kiyan Anthony at Syracuse and said he wants to bring a national title to the Orange. In a recent interview with On3, Jackson said Mississippi State, Oklahoma State and TCU are the most involved and he would like to set visits to those schools. Syracuse seems to have lost some traction.
