Rylee Samons Rylee Samons 6'7" | SF Pikeville | 2023 State KY , Pikeville – Pikeville’s season went into a tailspin after Samons tore his knee up in February. Rylee missed the rest of his Junior season and all of his 17u AAU season but should be back in time for his Senior campaign. If the 6’7 wing is back to his old self, Pikeville will be back in the mix for the regional title.
Andru Markham Andru Markham 6'4" | SG Fern Creek | 2022 State KY , Fern Creek – Another victim of a knee injury, Andru didn’t play in the Covid shortened 2021 season but should be back to 100% for his Senior campaign with the Tigers. Markham is a shifty wing with a high skill level. He just needs to stay healthy and he could see some scholarships coming his way late in the year.
Aden Nyekan Aden Nyekan 6'5" | SF Barren County | 2022 State KY , Barren County – Aden’s season was cut short with an ACL injury early in his Junior season but is nearly back to 100% after missing 8 months. Nyekan was a standout at our PH Top 250 last month and looks to be improved as a shooter and ball handler as he gets his agility back.
Jack Edelen Jack Edelen 5'9" | PG Male | 2023 State KY , Male – Jack missed his Sophomore season with a broken foot and then transferred to Male after two seasons at Ballard. Edelen was back for July AAU this summer and looked to be all the way back from injury. The floor general had multiple huge scoring games over the summer and will look to get the Bulldogs back to Rupp.
Jayden Miles, Western – Miles started at Western as an 8th grader but missed last year after knee surgery but looks primed for a huge season as a Sophomore. At 6’8 and still growing, Jayden has elite size and his skill set is quickly catching up to his raw abilities. Look for Jayden to make an impact in his Sophomore campaign.
Will Bishop, Lincoln County – Bishop played one game before a knee injury ended his Freshman season after one game. Will has also transferred to Lincoln County from Rockcastle and the Patriots will be in the mix for 12th region title if he is back to the same player he was as an 8th grader.
