<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Senior class is about to kick off their final season of high school basketball and many of the best prospects will be signing their letters of intent to their college of choice next month. The class has seen a lot of talent defect from it over the last 9 months or so but it's still one of the best Kentucky has seen in a while. Here's a look at the top ten in our updated Senior rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_6357324bbd029","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["932765"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1226327,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Sheppard maintains his spot atop the rankings and has never been lower than second in these rankings since we started them.
