2025 Rankings Update: Top Power Forwards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Their AAU careers are over and Senior years start in a few weeks. The 2025 class is officially winding down their high school basketball careers. There has been a lot of movement up and down the rankings over the years. Here's a look at the updated top Power Forwards in the rising Senior class. This does not include players who are ranked in the Top Ten.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2025","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"77245","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"97","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a93cddf05fc"} /--> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1479265' first='Lawson' last='Rice'] remains one of the most under-recruited players in Kentucky's 2025 class. He plays hard and produces at a high level. Rice is a player who impacts winning on both ends of the court with his motor and rebounding. He's a capable defender who offers some rim protection too. Scholarship level schools in Kentucky and border states should be actively recruiting Rice.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Manual's [player_tooltip player_id='2115231' first='Justice' last='Decker'] is a big stock booster over the past year. He holds some offers at the D1, D2 and NAIA levels and his best basketball all appears to be ahead of him. Justice is an athletic finisher with a strong build and a constantly improving skill set. Don't be surprised if Decker adds more offers over the course of his Senior season, assuming he doesn't sign early.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Saint X's [player_tooltip player_id='1369458' first='Will' last='Hanke'] is a name that has been a top player in this class for a long time. He doesn't get a ton of individual notoriety but Hanke does a LOT of the Tigers on both ends of the court. Whether it's rebounding, scoring or playmaking, Will does a good job of playing with a high motor and being a leader on the court. D3 DePauw has offered but Hanke should be getting looks from scholarship level schools. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1269603' first='Jaden' last='Stewart'] has been highly productive for several years at Pike Central and will now be the go-to scorer for his squad. Capable of filling it up from 3 or putting the ball on the floor and attacking the rim, Jaden is one of the highest scoring returners in the 15th region this season and could be the front runner for regional player of the year.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Mercer County's [player_tooltip player_id='1512908' first='Trevor' last='Ellis'] is one of the best rebounders in the state in this class and has had a big career up to this point with the best still to go, potentially. Trevor is undersized as a post but has started to move his game out to the wing where he's becoming a better shooter and ball handler. Don't be surprised if Ellis wins 12th region player of the year as a Senior. He's probably the most valuable player to his team in the region.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
