Arizona men’s basketball continues to build on its impressive 2025 freshman class with the addition of five-star guard Brayden Burries. The 6-foot-4 Burries, who averaged 21.1 points on the EYBL circuit last summer, chose Arizona over top programs like Tennessee, Alabama, Oregon, and USC. He joins fellow Arizona commit Bryce James, LeBron James’ son, in what is becoming a star-studded recruiting class.
Burries, ranked as the No. 11 prospect in the 2025 class, brings versatility and scoring ability to the Arizona team. With Caleb Love graduating and Jaden Bradley expected to return, Burries can provide creation help and play on or off the ball. Known for his scoring prowess, soft hands, and defensive engagement, Burries adds depth to an already strong Arizona roster.
The addition of Burries elevates Arizona’s 2025 class to fifth nationally and second among Big 12 teams. His commitment comes shortly after teammate Koa Peat, both of whom are clients of Klutch Sports, founded by Rich Paul, LeBron James’ friend.
Overall, Burries’ physicality, scoring ability, defensive prowess, and competitiveness make him a valuable addition to Arizona’s roster. With the combination of Burries, Peat, and James, Arizona’s 2025 class is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in the country.
