Nate Ament, the highest-ranked uncommitted player in the Class of 2025, said he would announce his college decision after the prestigious McDonald's All-American Game on Apr. 2. However, the 6-foot-9 power forward postponed his decision.
"I’m just not 100% yet; I want to take some extra time to be completely confident in my choice," Ament told ESPN Tuesday. "I will connect with the people in my circle and will also be interested to see some transfer portal moves now that the tournament is coming to a close.”

However, in an interview with NBA draft analyst Krysten Peek, Ament talked about the timeline of his decision.
"I sat down with uncommitted five-star Nate Ament after practice at Nike Hoop Summit and we discussed his final five schools of Duke, Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisville and Arkansas. He said he plans on committing in the next couple of weeks. Full interview below," Peek wrote on X on Sunday.
Peek reiterated Ament, saying he would announce his decision soon and asked him what soon meant.
“Next week or two,” Ament said.
Furthermore, Nate Ament also claimed that there were plenty of players at the McDAAG who tried to convince him to join their colleges.
“Yeah, there’s been a lot of players that are committed to the schools in my top five, a lot of them on the East team, like Darius (Acuff) and Cameron (Boozer), Cameron and Cayden (Boozer), but they just been telling me they would love to have me, friendly banter here and there between them,” Ament said.
“So it does a lot for me to hear from the players that have committed to that school, to hear that they want to play with me.”
