<p>We are only 3 weeks away from the postseason but recruiting still has a long way to go, especially for the 2026 class. With their high school careers winding down, many of Kentucky's Seniors are still trying to figure out their college destinations. Here's a look at some Seniors worthy of being looked at by colleges. This does not include [player_tooltip player_id='1737528' first='Hayden' last='Shouse'] or [player_tooltip player_id='1894141' first='Tylin' last='George'] who have announced they will reclassify to the 2027 class after a post graduate season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One o the top guards in the class, Blaackar is both quick and fast. He's a strong guard with a nice finishing package and has put up impressive shooting splits of 58/45/84 while averaging 23 points and 6 rebounds per game. At this point, I'm not sure if D1 is realistic but D2 and NAIA schools could get a steal with Anthony now.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Lightning, like Blaackar, has been the recipient of D1 offers previously but recruiting has been quiet lately and Gavin was hurt by having to wait for his eligibility to get cleared up. The big wing has only been able to play for 8 games but he's had solid numbers of 15 rebounds and 8 rebounds per game in those 8 games. If I were an in-state D2 or NAIA school, I'd be harassing him trying to get a commitment.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Adams is one of my favorite Seniors because of how hard he plays on both ends. An excellent rim protector who can score around the bucket and has been a good shooter in the past despite some subpar numbers from three this season. If I'm a D2 or NAIA school, I'm trying hard to get Taeshawn in my program. He's the type of player who can be an immediate impact player and move up a level in the future.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Returning to Caverna, [player_tooltip player_id='1902675' first='Jaylin' last='Craine'] has had a long and productive career for the Colonels and hopes to get them to Rupp Arena this season. Averaging 17 points per game with 51/41/70 shooting splits, Jaylin had early D1 offers but at this point in the recruiting process, he's more likely to be a D2 steal or even go the Juco route. Regardless of level, I'd be looking at him if I needed a guard who can score the ball.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of the more versatile players in the class, Blakey has been a double double every night out for the Indians. He's shooting 64% from the field despite some rough shooting numbers from three and at the free throw line. Landon plays a lot at the 5 spot for Adair but can be a face up 4 in college. He'll be a big time steal for a program that needs a versatile 4/3 who can play and guard multiple positions.</p>
