2021 Rankings: Top Forwards

<p>With the newly updated 2021 rankings coming out this week, let’s jump into some positional breakdowns. Here’s a look at the top Senior posts. We are going to skip over the players in the Top 10 of the class since those players have already been broken down in our Top 10 article.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1027678" first="Rickey" last="Lovette"], Montgomery County - </strong>The Florida transplant has had a good 2 year career in Mount Sterling and is averaging 17 points and 12 rebounds per game and shooting 67% from the field. Rickey has shown some shooting ability this year but still doesn't attempt many 3s. His high energy level and rebounding ability should land him at the NAIA/D2 level.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="922999" first="Dez" last="Lindsay"], Male - </strong>Dez has as much potential as anyone in the class but he has barely had a Senior season thanks to delays for Covid. Long and athletic, Lindsay could go Juco and find himself at the D1 level in a year or two. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1038878" first="Darrius" last="Washington"], Fern Creek - </strong>Darrius committed and signed with Western Carolina this fall and has a ton of potential as a player who could shine at the next level. Washington has had modest stats for most of his career but that could be as much due to being stuck on the block when he has the skills to play out on the perimeter some also.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="922998" first="Cearius" last="Warren"], Fern Creek - </strong>"King" is another player whose individual production has been stunted by the fact that Fern Creek is such a talented roster from top to bottom. Warren is among the best athletes in the state but has to continue developing his perimeter skills to reach his ceiling at the next level.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="793769" first="Trevor" last="Hardin"], Henry County - </strong>Trevor is a blue collar player with a great motor and maximizes his ability by playing super hard. Hardin is averaging 21 and 12 white shooting 64% from the field as a Senior and would be a steal for a D2 or NAIA school this spring signing period.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Other Names to Know:</strong></span></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="923035" first="Ayden" last="Mudd"], St. Xavier - Headed to Bellarmine next year, Mudd is a stretch big who can really shoot from deep.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="793779" first="Jacobi" last="Huddleston"], Bowling Green - Jacobi has the body to play at the next level but his motor has to be running for him to reach his potential.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="793780" first="Hunter" last="Penn"], Woodford County - One of the better "high academic" prospects in the class, Hunter is a big body forward who can score inside and out.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1022244" first="Tony" last="Moss"], Doss - A late bloomer, Moss has a chance to succeed at the next level as his skills keep developing.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="923015" first="Josh" last="McGuire"], Knott County Central - Josh is among the most valuable players in the mountains as he does a little bit of everything for Knott to get a win.</p>
