College basketball's 2025 signing class could pass for a United Nations summit.

A year after 38 foreign players joined power-conference programs directly from overseas outfits, over 70 international prospects -- and perhaps even 80 or more -- are expected to be on their way to the high-major ranks once the final touches have been put on the game's 2025-26 rosters.

From Australia and Africa to the Middle East and all over Europe, international talent is flooding into the sport like never before, buoyed by financial opportunities in a year of unprecedented player compensation.

"Outside of the NBA, Division I college basketball might be the second-most lucrative basketball job in the world," Providence coach Kim English said. "With that, we get to tap into some pretty good talent."
