Let the Madness … begin.
The 2025 NCAA Basketball Tournament tips off in a grand rush on Thursday, with the 16-seeded teams set after the First Four matchups narrowed down the possible 68 to 64.
What's next on the hoops docket over the following four days is considered some of the best—if not the best—in sports, where stars are born, schools are introduced to the nation, and spoilers storm the court in bracket-busting glory.
While all that unfolds, a sports reality hangs in the background of the initial excitement: sans one team, there will be 63 programs looking to the future.
Who's coming in to help your college basketball team in 2025—maybe take the final step to March Madness infamy?
USA TODAY High School Sports looks at the top 2025 high school commit (so far) for the 64 teams, using recruiting outlet information.
The breakdown lists athletes who have signed a National Letter of Intent (NLI). If there are no top signees for a specific program at this time, we've noted the highest-rated offer, if applicable.
