Name | High School | Height | Grassroots Team | Notes |
James Jewell James Jewell 6'6" | PF Marion County | 2022 State KY | Marion County | 6’6 | Manimal Elite | Long and athletic, James can be a big time recruit if his perimeter skills keep developing. A consistent jump shot would go a long way for him. |
Maker Bar Maker Bar 6'9" | C Ballard | 2022 State KY | Ballard | 6’9 | He’s still a little raw overall but his post game has some polish to it. Plays with a great motor and has tremendous upside. | |
Tim Hall Tim Hall 6'6" | PF Westminster Catawba | 2023 State SC | Dunbar | 6’6 | Manimal Elite | Ideally, Hall is a wing but he has played as a post this summer and is a little bit of a tweener right now. He can guard multiple positions and is uber-athletic. |
Justin Becker Justin Becker 6'6" | SF Robertson County | 2022 State KY | Robertson County | 6’6 | Griffin Elite | Possibly the most skilled player in the group, Justin can play inside or out and puts up huge scoring numbers for his high school. Once he shows he can guard multiple positions, D1 offers should be coming. |
Mitchell Rylee Mitchell Rylee 6'8" | C Covington Catholic | 2022 State KY | Covington Catholic | 6’8 | Griffin Elite | A physical player who finishes well around the rim, Rylee should be one of the best bigs in Northern Kentucky the next 2 years. |
JiAirius Webb JiAirius Webb 6'7" | PF Owensboro | 2023 State KY | Owensboro Catholic | 6’7 | Starz United | Another long athlete, Webb can play inside or out but makes his money around the rim. Capable of bullying opposing defenders, Ji has a lot of upside. |
Aden Nyekan Aden Nyekan 6'5" | SF Barren County | 2022 State KY | Barren County | 6’5 | Three sport athlete who is more likely to end up a pro soccer player than he is a basketball recruit. Very athletic and tries to dunk everything. | |
Jackson Twombly Jackson Twombly 6'7" | PF Woodford County | 2022 State KY | Frankfort | 6’6 | Jackson is a big body who plays like a guard. He floats around the perimeter on offense and doesn’t rebound well for his size. If he gets his motor running, he can start getting some solid recruitment at all levels. | |
Hayden Burgess Hayden Burgess 6'10" | PF Oldham County | 2022 State KY | Oldham County | 6’10 | Griffin Elite | Hayden has a to of potential at 6’10 and still growing. He’s a great two handed rebounder but lacks aggression on offense. If he starts to put it together on offense, he’ll get D1 offers. |
Ben Michel Ben Michel 6'6" | PF South Oldham | 2022 State KY | South Oldham | 6’6 | Indiana Elite | Michel could be a big riser by the next update as he has waited his turn to be the man for South Oldham. Ben is pretty long and can shoot out past the 3 point line. Just needs more confidence. |
