Continue ReadingThe Junior class is deep with talent and well on the way to 15 or more D1 commitments by signing day next year. Here’s a look at the top true posts in our updated Junior rankings. This does not include any players ranked in the top 10 in the class.
Beau is a big, strong post who can bully opponents of all shapes and sizes thanks to his strength. Baker is a three sport star and holds an offer from D2 Tusculum University on the court already. Baker is going to be one of the best players in the 5th region this season and will be a matchup issue for nearly every opponent.
Highlights
Godrey continues to make big strides as a player and his coordination has come a long way in the last year. Jeremiah is extremely long and athletic and has a chance to be a difference maker for Great Crossing this year. At 6’7 and as athletic as he is, Godfrey has D1 upside in the long term, especially when his motor is running.
Like Godfrey, Jaylen has made huge strides in his development over his high school career. His skills continue to improve and Ellis tends to play pretty hard on both ends of the court. Jayden Miles gets more headlines but Jaylen already has a couple of offers and could end up the more effective of the two big man prospects.
Johnny appeared at Evangel at the same time as Cyr Malonga Cyr Malonga 6’10” | C Evangel Christian | 2023 State KY and Ben Mukadi Ben Mukadi 6’8″ | C Evangel Christian | 2025 State KY but, thus far, has developed the least of the three. Djema has the ability to protect the rim and is a decent finisher but he’s an old school 5 man on offense and best served playing the “dunker spot” in a 4 out offense.
James is another player who has a lot of potential but is running out of time to put it all together as a prospect. Mayor is long and athletic with the ability to play well above the rim and has shown the potential to put the ball on the floor in a workout setting but hasn’t done it in games yet. Potentially, Mayor is a top 10 talent in the class if he puts it all together.
