The Colorado men’s basketball team received its fourth commitment for the 2025 recruiting class, and this one continues the Tad Boyle-era tradition of landing top in-state prospects.
On Monday, the Buffs received a commitment from Denver native Josiah Sanders, a 6-foot-4 point guard out of Colorado Prep. In the 2025 class, Sanders joins Isaiah Johnson, Ian Inman and Jalin Holland, a 6-foot-4 guard out of Arizona who committed on Sept. 27.
Sanders is ranked as a four-star prospect by 247Sports, which also ranks Sanders as the top prospect in Colorado and the No. 119 recruit overall in the nation. Sanders is considered the No. 18 combo guard in the country.
Boyle, heading into his 15th season at CU, has long made a habit of landing the top prospects out of Colorado, a club that includes former in-state scholarship recruits Josh Scott, Xavier Talton, Wesley Gordon, Dominique Collier, Dallas Walton, D’Shawn Schwartz, Daylen Kountz, Nique Clifford and Luke O’Brien, in addition to current Buffs Julian Hammond III, Andrew Crawford and Assane Diop, a native of Senegal who played prep ball in Denver.
All four of CU’s commitments for 2025 are guards, as three of the four scholarships opening up following the 2024-25 season belong to frontcourt players Elijah Malone, Andrej Jakimovski and Trevor Baskin (Hammond is the fourth senior).
