Summer Storylines: 2024 Class

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2024 class is already halfway through their final season of AAU and only a few months away from being in their Senior years of high school. Recruiting is starting to heat up for several players and as we head into the summer, there's a lot to be on the lookout for with this rising Senior class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Who Lands their first D1 Offer Next?</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Senior class is loaded with talent and there are already 14 players in the class who hold D1 offers. They are: [player_tooltip player_id='939117' first='Travis' last='Perry'], [player_tooltip player_id='939116' first='Trent' last='Noah'], [player_tooltip player_id='1148597' first='Brett' last='Decker'], [player_tooltip player_id='939716' first='Kade' last='Unseld'], [player_tooltip player_id='1306913' first='Mason' last='Ritter'], [player_tooltip player_id='939115' first='Ayden' last='Evans'], [player_tooltip player_id='1306914' first='Quel'ron' last='House'], [player_tooltip player_id='1258402' first='Drae' last='Vasser'], [player_tooltip player_id='1085488' first='Damone' last='King'], [player_tooltip player_id='1126557' first='Jay' last='Rose'], [player_tooltip player_id='1229131' first='Max' last='Green'], [player_tooltip player_id='1228481' first='Will' last='Gibson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1148609' first='Tyler' last='Doyle']. Who will be next? And will the class end up with close to 20 D1 signees when the dust settles? Some candidates to earn offers include: [player_tooltip player_id='1343493' first='Christian' last='Doerr'], [player_tooltip player_id='1032747' first='Johnny' last='Djema'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1022262' first='Kyran' last='Tilley'] of Evangel, [player_tooltip player_id='939715' first='Kaydon' last='Custard'], [player_tooltip player_id='1497251' first='Dayton' last='Williams'], [player_tooltip player_id='1148614' first='Jacob' last='Tucker'], [player_tooltip player_id='1197227' first='Jaylan' last='Rigdon'], [player_tooltip player_id='1122207' first='MJ' last='Wardlow'], [player_tooltip player_id='939382' first='Blake' last='Reed'] and several others. The talent is DEEP in this class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Which prospect blows up at the Collins Live Event?</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last year, several kids earned big time D1 offers coming out of the NCAA live period event at Collins High School. [player_tooltip player_id='1118821' first='John' last='McCrear'] of Woodford County went from no offers to almost a dozen after that weekend. Who can make that splash this June? The event is loaded with teams and talented players who will draw in coaches from all over America. I'd bet at least one player exits that weekend with multiple new D1 offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>When does the transfer portal close?</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There was a ton of movement last summer in the 2024 class and there are already several players expected to transfer or already have. The biggest is [player_tooltip player_id='1085488' first='Damone' last='King'] leaving Manual and going to DeSales but will we see more changes this summer? [player_tooltip player_id='2216725' first='Elijah' last='Starks'] transferred to Warren Central from Bowling Green in the middle of the season and should be a factor. [player_tooltip player_id='1208147' first='Jashaun' last='Pouncy'] landed at Cooper and got eligible just in time for the regional tournament then tore his ACL. Covington Catholic has added a 6'8 dunking machine from Arkansas to their roster. Will there be more big transfers this summer?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Can anyone dethrone [player_tooltip player_id='939117' first='Travis' last='Perry'] from the top spot?</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Perry has been the #1 prospect since 2024 rankings debuted on this site. He's already been penciled in as 2024 Mr Basketball like [player_tooltip player_id='932765' first='Reed' last='Sheppard'] was for 2023. Will anyone be bale to knock Travis off his perch? [player_tooltip player_id='939116' first='Trent' last='Noah'] has had a monster AAU season thus far but hasn't quite cracked the high major level as a recruit. [player_tooltip player_id='1148597' first='Brett' last='Decker'] has been great in limited viewings. Personally, I look forward to the Collins event when these guys will all be in the same gym over the course of the weekend and have multiple chances to impress.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
