Continue ReadingThe 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.
Who Lands their first D1 Offer Next?
The Senior class is loaded with talent and there are already 14 players in the class who hold D1 offers. They are: Travis Perry Travis Perry 6'2" | PG Lyon County | 2024 State #115 Nation KY , Trent Noah Trent Noah 6'7" | SF Harlan County | 2024 State #139 Nation KY , Brett Decker Brett Decker 6'2" | PG Central Hardin | 2024 State #211 Nation KY , Kade Unseld Kade Unseld 6'5" | SF Warren Central | 2024 State #252 Nation KY , Mason Ritter Mason Ritter 6'8" | C Bowling Green | 2024 State KY , Ayden Evans Ayden Evans 6'9" | C Elizabethtown | 2024 State KY , Quel’ron House Quel’ron House 5'11" | PG Seneca | 2024 State KY , Drae Vasser Drae Vasser 6'1" | PG Trinity | 2024 State KY , Damone King Damone King 6'0" | PG DeSales | 2024 State KY , Jay Rose Jay Rose 6'4" | SG Madison Southern | 2024 State KY , Max Green Max Green 6'6" | CG Oldham County | 2024 State KY , Will Gibson Will Gibson 6'6" | C DeSales | 2024 State KY and Tyler Doyle Tyler Doyle 6'4" | CG Lexington Catholic | 2024 State KY . 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: Christian Doerr Christian Doerr 6'3" | SG Evangel Christian | 2024 State KY , Johnny Djema Johnny Djema 6'8" | PF Evangel Christian | 2024 State KY and Kyran Tilley Kyran Tilley 6'1" | PG Evangel Christian | 2024 State KY of Evangel, Kaydon Custard Kaydon Custard 6'2" | PG Harrison County | 2024 State KY , Dayton Williams Dayton Williams 6'4" | CG Butler | 2024 State KY , Jacob Tucker Jacob Tucker 6'3" | SG Fairdale | 2024 State KY , Jaylan Rigdon Jaylan Rigdon 6'0" | PG Pike County Central | 2024 State KY , MJ Wardlow, Blake Reed Blake Reed 5'10" | PG Mason County | 2024 KY and several others. The talent is DEEP in this class.
Which prospect blows up at the Collins Live Event?
Last year, several kids earned big time D1 offers coming out of the NCAA live period event at Collins High School. John Mccrear John Mccrear 6'8" | PF Woodfard | 2023 State #219 Nation KY 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.
When does the transfer portal close?
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 Damone King Damone King 6'0" | PG DeSales | 2024 State KY leaving Manual and going to DeSales but will we see more changes this summer? Elijah Starks Elijah Starks 6'4" | PF Warren Central | 2024 State KY transferred to Warren Central from Bowling Green in the middle of the season and should be a factor. Jashaun Pouncy Jashaun Pouncy 6'6" | PF Cooper | 2024 State KY 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?
Can anyone dethrone Travis Perry Travis Perry 6'2" | PG Lyon County | 2024 State #115 Nation KY from the top spot?
Perry has been the #1 prospect since 2024 rankings debuted on this site. He’s already been penciled in as 2024 Mr Basketball like Reed Sheppard Reed Sheppard 6'3" | PG North Laurel | 2023 State #22 Nation KY was for 2023. Will anyone be bale to knock Travis off his perch? Trent Noah Trent Noah 6'7" | SF Harlan County | 2024 State #139 Nation KY has had a monster AAU season thus far but hasn’t quite cracked the high major level as a recruit. Brett Decker Brett Decker 6'2" | PG Central Hardin | 2024 State #211 Nation KY 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.
