Recruiting Predictions: PHKY Crystal Ball

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The season of official visits is upon us. While 3 of our top 14 ranked Seniors have committed, there are several others with D1 offers who have an important decision to make before graduation. Here are my guesses on where each of our 2024 players with D1 offers will land. The order is just based on where they are in the current 2024 Class Rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Already Committed:</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1148597' first='Brett' last='Decker'], Central Hardin - Liberty</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='939115' first='Ayden' last='Evans'], Elizabethtown - Ohio</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1228481' first='Will' last='Gibson'], DeSales - Liberty</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Crystal Ball Predictions:</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='939117' first='Travis' last='Perry'], Lyon County - Travis has a lot of offers but has kept his recruitment quiet. I have no inside knowledge with him or any of these kids but I know current players at Kentucky are making $500,000 minimum in NIL right now. And Kentucky fans love the homegrown kids. Have to choose Kentucky in this one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='939116' first='Trent' last='Noah'], Harlan County - Trent ended up with 25 D1 offers but his last few were all of the high major variety. I think Noah ends up at South Carolina. Just call it a gut feeling. I think he can be a good player for the 'Cocks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='939716' first='Kade' last='Unseld'], Warren Central - His latest offer is WKU and I think that's ultimately where Kade will go, if for no other reason than he'll get a ton of NIL money for the Tops as a local kid at a school who is comfortable getting 6 figures worth of NIL for players right now. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1306913' first='Mason' last='Ritter'], Bowling Green - Ditto for Ritter. Just offered by WKU last week. And I'd expect him to end up committed there, eventually. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1346654' first='Jackson' last='Washington'], CAL - Washington came back to Kentucky for his Senior season but I think he'll go to Tennessee for college. I expect the Belmont Bruins to sign Washington. His ceiling is the next Ben Sheppard who just was a star for Casey Alexander's squad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1306914' first='Quel'ron' last='House'], Seneca - Currently, House has only claimed an offer from Jacksonville State and Coach Ray Harper. That makes this choice easy. If House goes D1, it will be to play for Jacksonville State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1085488' first='Damone' last='King'], DeSales - King has several offers but Miami (OH) has been the hardest on him and already had Damone up for a visit. I'll place a crystal ball pick for King to pledge his services to Coach Steele and Miami.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1258402' first='Drae' last='Vasser'], Trinity - Due to injury, Vasser missed out on most of his 17u AAU season but he still holds several offers. I think he'll stay home and ultimately commit to Scotty Davenport and Bellarmine.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1229131' first='Max' last='Green'], Oldham County - Green's recruiting ramped up in July with a strong AAU finish. He fits the mold of players like Sam Vinson who have had great success at NKU and I think he ends up playing for the Norse in college.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1343493' first='Christian' last='Doerr'], Evangel Christian - Doerr, like House, only has tweeted out an offer from Jacksonville State so this crystal ball pick is easy. But if I'm Ray Harper and can get Doerr and House out of Louisville, that's a heck of a haul in the 24 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
