<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">A true two way wing who can score the ball but is just as effective on the defensive end, Xavier is a good shooter and can really cause problems for a defense when he gets into the paint. Cosby often draws a tough defensive assignment thanks to his size making him able to guard across multiple positions. Xavier has had interested schools at all levels of college basketball and should land somewhere good on signing day.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Recently earning his first offer, Taylor is playing well at the right time. Having rattled off an average of over 20 points per game in the last month, Cage is also becoming a more active rebounder. Capable of playing on or off the ball on offense, Taylor is capable of guarding bigger players thanks to his strong frame. Cage could make an impact at the Junior College level next season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Call it a recency bias but after watching Smith shoot the cover off the ball in a win over Montgomery County made me realize how undervalued he is. Drew is a top notch shooter at 43% from three and he can get a shot off super quickly. Drew is not the biggest defender but he battles for position and can switch onto bigger players and holds up. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of the top available big men in the class, Tyler is a skilled big who can face up and score (39% from three) and can play with his back to the basket like a traditional big man. A good rebounder as well, Hunt is likely more of a 4 than a 5 in college but I think he can play either spot comfortably. If he continues to add bulk to his frame, [player_tooltip player_id='2403795' first='Tyler' last='Hunt'] could be an absolute steal at the next level.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of the front runners for 14th region player of the year, Seth is averaging just shy of 20 points per game and kicking in 6 rebounds per game from the guard spot. Caudill has not had a great shooting year from three but he shoots his free throws well and is good at getting to the line multiple times per game. Over the last 7 games, Seth has started to hit his stride. He's averaging 25.4 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists per game over that stretch.</p>
