2024-2025: JBB Early Window Junior College Recruiting Classes

The Top 4-Year School Junior College Recruiting Classes

Welcome to our yearly review of early signing period commitments within the junior college ranks. The players listed below have all committed or signed with their respective four-year institutions during this early window. While we acknowledge that the signing period is ongoing, we have established a cutoff date for the purposes of this ranking.

Kansas has achieved a historic milestone by securing the #1 position in our rankings for a second time. Their new coaching staff has initiated a rebuilding process that heavily emphasizes recruiting from the junior college level. Both Head Coach Dan Fitzgerald and Recruiting Coordinator Jon Coyne possess extensive connections within the junior college landscape, enabling them to attract top talent and guide the Jayhawks toward their desired goals.

Southern Indiana has made a notable leap into the Top 10 this year, coinciding with a change in leadership and a commitment to revitalizing the program. New Head Coach Chris Ramirez, previously at Division II powerhouse Lenoir-Rhyne, brings a proven track record of success in recruiting junior college athletes. During his tenure at Lenoir-Rhyne, he assembled multiple classes that ranked among the top in Division II, with some even achieving national recognition.

CS Bakersfield is making their debut in our rankings this year. While the West Coast boasts its own competitive junior college system, the new coaching staff at CS Bakersfield possesses strong ties to the Midwest and extensive experience in recruiting at the junior college level. Head Coach Jordon Banfield, formerly of Oakland University, prioritized junior college recruitment and previously achieved a top-10 recruiting class during his time at Akron. Their Recruiting Coordinator, Baily Montgomery, also brings valuable experience as both a player and coach at Wabash Valley, as well as recruiting experience at Michigan and Miami (Ohio), where he actively sought out junior college talent.

Below is the Top 50 Classes across the country. The Top 10 will have their entire Class listed. 11-25 Will have their Top Commit. While 26-50 will be behind the Paywall. Along with the Top 5 Non Div. 1 Programs.
