Show Notes
The 2025-2026 college hoops season has been a scorcher, filled with freshman phenoms, veteran standouts, and mid-major breakouts. Sports Illustrateds All-America first team features Dukes Cameron Boozer, BYUs AJ Dybantsa, Michigans Yaxel Lendeborg, Arkansass Darius Acuff Jr., and Illinoiss Keaton Wagler. The second team includes Purdues Braden Smith, Arizonas Jaden Bradley, Iowa States Joshua Jefferson, Floridas Thomas Haugh, and St. Johns Zuby Ejiofor. Fans are abuzz over these picks, with underrecruited gems like Wagler and grizzled veterans like Lendeborg making waves. Teams like Michigan, Illinois, and Arizona owe their deep tournament runs to these standouts, while injuries like Jeffersons left everyone wondering what could have been. Honorable mentions go to Michigan States Jeremy Fears Jr., Alabamas Labaron Philon Jr., and others pushing the talent ceiling higher. As the Final Four approaches, these All-Americans remind us why this season is the deepest in years.
