Overlooked Seniors Part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Season is winding down and signing day is only 2 months away for the class of 2025. There are plenty of good Seniors who are worthy of more college attention. Here are some of my favorites who are being undervalued by colleges, in my opinion.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1369458"],"_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-67a6164d854c8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hanke recently was offered a roster spot at Bellarmine but I think he could be a real difference maker at the D2 or NAIA level. Will has great size and is skilled, too. He's tough and has a high IQ. If he wants to chase the D1 dream, Hanke likely commits to Bellarmine but I think he would thrive at a place like Kentucky Wesleyan or Thomas More.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1148607"],"_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-67a6164d85531"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I have probably seen Layken play 20 times in his career. There may not be a more consistent player in Central Kentucky than Lyons. He competes on every possession and is a skilled scorer. You may point at his defense as an area for growth but, as is often the case in Kentucky, he's never had to focus on defense because his team needs him to score so much. Layken would be a steal for a team in the Mid South Conference.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1578745"],"_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-67a6164d85576"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Watts is a transfer into Kentucky who arrived for his Senior season from West Virginia and is having a big season for Martin County. Averaging 26 points per game for the Cardinals, Gavin is an explosive athlete who can knock down shots or get to the rim. There have been rumblings that Watts may look at a post graduate year but he has a chance to be an NAIA level player next season, without the extra year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1897778"],"_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-67a6164d855bf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jeremiah missed over half the season while waiting for eligibility after a transfer from Middlesboro but has hit the ground running in the last month. Averaging 20 points and 8 rebounds per game, Beck is an explosive athlete who gets downhill and attacks the rim at a high level. He needs to improve his three point shooting but Jeremiah projects as an impact player at the scholarship level and would be a steal at a place like Berea or Union.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1587777"],"_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-67a6164d855ff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I'm not sure any Senior in Kentucky sacrificed more this season as a result of transfers into their school than Marr has. Jayden is a selfless player who impacts winning in multiple ways and doesn't need a ton of shots to get his points. He's an effective defender and I think he can develop into a pass first point guard if given the time and opportunity. I'm not sure what options Jayden has right now but he's a player who could end up a better college player than he is in high school.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
