Continue ReadingThe Freshman class is halfway through their season and 15u AAU is only a couple of months away. After launching our initial rankings, this is our first update. Plenty of big moves up (and down) the list based on production in their freshman seasons. Here’s a look at the back half of our top 10 in the update.
One of the biggest movers in the update, Wright is a growth spurt away from being a mid major or better D1 prospect. Averaging 15 points and 9 rebounds per game for the youngest team in the state, I’m really impressed with his overall skill set, including shooting over 43% from three for the season.
Rimmer is a similar type of player to Wright as he’s at his best when posting up or facing up from the elbows and in. Caleb is averaging 14 and 8 for a Russell team that relies on their freshman class to carry a large burden for them to get a win.
Highlights
Omari is a highly skilled guard that excels as a playmaker with the ball in his hands. Primarily a slasher, Jointer plays off the ball a lot because he shares the backcourt with Santonio Waide Santonio Waide 6’0″ | PG Woodford County | 2025 State KY and Juante Jenkins. Already averaging 11 points as a third (or fourth) offensive option at Woodford, Omari has D1 potential already and will only get better as his three point shooting improves.
Holman slides a little down the list this update but mainly due to a diminished role for Great Crossing because their roster is so loaded. Holman is a bouncy athlete who plays more of a defensive role right now but should be able to show more offense during his AAU season.
Highlights
An entirely new name to the list. Starks is all potential right now. He reminds me of Ayden Evans Ayden Evans 6’9″ | C Elizabethtown | 2024 State KY at the same age. Tall, long and skinny, Griffin is capable of making a highlight play one trip down the court then dribbling off his foot the next. His potential could be tops in the 27 class though. Stay tuned to see more from Starks.
