Class of 2025 four-star prospect Darius Adams, a top-five shooting guard and the No. 22 overall recruit, according to 247Sports, will announce his commitment on Monday at 5:00 p.m. ET. You can watch the announcement live on CBS Sports HQ in the video at the top of this page, on the CBS Sports App or via your connected device (Roku, Amazon Fire, Apple TV) or on the 247Sports YouTube channel.
Adams has garnered nearly two dozen offers and interest throughout the country but will choose between a final three of UConn, Michigan and Tennessee.
Adams is a product of high school talent factory La Lumiere in Indiana, where he has built a reputation as a versatile combo guard who can create, score and defend. At 6-foot-5, he's coming off a breakout summer on the EYBL circuit, where he averaged 15 points per game.
Here's Adams' scouting report from 247Sports Director of Scouting, Adam Finkelstein:
Adams is a skilled and smooth guard with good positional size at 6-foot-5 and an instinctive feel for the game. He's a multi-dimensional scoring threat who can make threes and mid-range pull-ups in a variety of different ways.
Adams can also make reads with the ball, so he can come off screens and get to his mid-range game if that's how the defense is playing him. Combine that with his reliability as a passer and he has the type of floor game that should fit into offensive structure nicely at the next level.
Where there is untapped potential is in his frame and the amount of sheer force he plays with. He's still growing into his body a bit and doesn't always yet have the same amount of athletic burst as other top prospects. Once that frame clicks though, it could unlock new aspects of his attack, help him play through contact more consistently, and make him more efficient in the lane. Right now, he can be fluid with the ball in the open floor, but doesn't pressure the rim or finish as well in a half-court game.
Defensively, the added physicality can only help as well. His size and intellect are both assets, while he also has very good hands and a high steal rate, but would only add versatility with more power and explosiveness.
Overall, Adams is a skilled, smooth, smart, has good size, and his best basketball still in front of him as he continues to make strides physically.
UConn is the crystal ball favorite to secure Adams' commitment. The back-to-back champion Huskies have not added a commitment to their Class in 2025 yet, potentially setting Adams up to be one of the foundational pieces of the cycle for Dan Hurley and his staff.
