Impact Transfers from Out of State

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With basketball season underway and the first round of jamborees coming up in a few weeks, there is no shortage of stuff to break down as we head into the 2024-25 regular season. After offering up some regional previews over the last couple of weeks, I want to shine a light on some impact transfers coming into Kentucky this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2524301"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67200ca80b8a7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McAfee originally hails from Tennessee but played at non KHSAA Legacy Christian Academy last season. I haven't personally seen him yet but Coach Unseld raves about Ant's potential. Coach Unseld said McAfee is "super athletic, scores the ball like crazy and has great size for a 2." Sounds like he could go from unknown to regional player of the year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2082035"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67200ca80b90a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Boyd County gets a badly needed infusion of size with the arrival of Childers from West Virginia. Primarily a perimeter oriented team, Boyd now has a player who can get a bucket in the low post and should really help with rebounding. They lost several players in the transfer portal this summer but the Lions should benefit greatly from the addition of Childers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1406953"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67200ca80b94c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">James arrives in Greensburg from St. Benedict's out of New Jersey. He's a very athletic shooting guard who plays above the rim. Not known as a great shooter, if his shooting numbers rise this year, we could be talking about Eric as a top 10-20 player in Kentucky's 2026 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2628796"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67200ca80b98b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Modi is perhaps the biggest X Factor in the 5th region at this point. While James Jr. is the more well known prospect on the east coast, Kouyate offers serious athleticism and rim protection in a region that's short on both. One player compared Modi to former Marion County star James Jewell. I'm interested to see both the Green County imports.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1671461"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67200ca80b9ca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sadler moved into Bowling Green just in time to play football for the Purples but he's likely to make a big impact on the hardwood too. Bowling Green is in need of some size and talent and Ayden should provide both for them. BG usually makes a deep run in football so Sadler may not start to impact the basketball team until January but he should be helpful eventually.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
