Kelly Niece Kelly Niece 6'2" | CG Simon Kenton | 2021 State KY , Simon Kenton – Niece was looking at a Mid Major D1 level recruitment before he tore his ACL in spring of 2019 and then missed out on any coaches being able to see him in the 2020 AAU season. Kelly can really score the ball and would be a steal for a D2 school at this point.
Jevonte Turner Jevonte Turner 6'2" | CG Knox Central | 2022 State KY , Knox Central – Turner is wired to score but can also run a team. He’s a good athlete who could go the Juco route and get several D1 suitors down the line. He’s not been able to play high level AAU in front of coaches and that has hindered his recruiting thus far but Turner can really play.
Anthony Woodard Anthony Woodard 6'2" | CG Logan County | 2021 State KY , Logan County – Woodard is likely a football player in college but he is athletic enough that he could do both. He’s a contender for 4th region player of the year if we have a season.
Conner Cooper Conner Cooper 6'0" | CG Bowling Green | 2021 State KY , Bowling Green – Conner is overlooked a lot because he’s the 3rd scoring option for BG and his path, like Woodard, is also likely on the football field. Cooper is a high academic student who could contribute to a D3 school right away if he ends up playing basketball.
Will Downton Will Downton 6'3" | CG Beechwood | 2021 State KY , Beechwood – One of the hidden gems of Northern Kentucky, Downton is extremely bouncy and plays both ends of the court. Will was looking at a big Senior season before the shutdown and could certainly play at the small school level.
Dante Hayden Dante Hayden 5'11" | CG Danville | 2022 State KY , Danville – Another player who could be a really good small school player, Hayden is a scorer first and foremost but will likely play on the ball more than ever if we have a season. If Dante could be the 12th region player of the year.
