Final 2022 Rankings Update: Top Small Forwards

<p>As we turn the page on the class of 2022, let’s take a look at some of the top small forwards in our final Senior class rankings. This list does not contain any players who made the Top 10 of the class overall.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="926920" first="Tucker" last="Blanford"], Bullitt East - Tucker has a blue collar work ethic on the court as he's not afraid to do whatever is necessary to get the win. He's been a double double threat every night he hits the court for the last 3 years and Blanford should be a scholarship level player next year. Offers have started to come in and there should be more to come his way before signing day.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="801600" first="Aden" last="Nyekan"], Barren County - Aden came back from an ACL injury that cost him most of his Junior year and had a season worthy of a spot on the first team all 4th region. A versatile player and really good athlete, Nyekan has a few NAIA offers and will definitely be on a college roster next season.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1370168" first="Mershon" last="Dickerson"], Butler - One of the big revelations of the season in the 502, Mershon helped get Butler to the regional tournament and knocked off highly touted Western on the way. Dickerson has good size and positional versatility but he'll need to bulk up at the next level to have the same sort of impact he's had this season for the Bears.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="926890" first="Colby" last="Fugate"], Paintsville - Fugate has had a long and decorated career for the Tigers and just the other day added a college offer to his list. Colby can put the ball on the floor and get to the rim consistently and is a solid three point shooter. He's been a 3 sport athlete all through high school but basketball is likely his choice to play in college.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1069277" first="Andrew" last="Mason"], Bardstown - Mason has been one of the best players in the 5th region over the last two seasons and is a no brainer at the next level. His second Senior year has helped him earn some high profile Juco offers and that's likely his best route as he can go to a good Juco and be a mid major or better D1 player in 2 years at the right college spot.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Other Names to Know:</strong></span></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1009767" first="Jackson" last="Shoulders"], Lyon County</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1215559" first="Bless" last="Kamuena"], Bryan Station</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="926888" first="Bryce" last="Riley"], Bardstown</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1009765" first="Joel" last="Iles"], Newport Central Catholic</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="926922" first="Hagan" last="Webb"], Boyle County</p>
