<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The annual May Live Period was this weekend and players from Kentucky were scattered all around the country. There were players from Tulsa all the way to Baltimore.

Byrd has been known to posterize some opposing players and this past weekend was no different. With his size, length and skill set, Armani is an intriguing player who can go low D1 and portal up over the course of his career. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2122448"],"_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-6a0a75168b721"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Henning ended his weekend as one of the leading rebounders on the UA Rise circuit. He also showed he can stretch the floor, knocking down multiple threes over the weekend. several small D1s and high D2s have reached out with new interest in the Center from Apollo.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1745587"],"_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-6a0a75168b748"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the better guards in the class, Elijah has been incredibly consistent over the course of his career and this AAU season has been no different, thus far. A knockdown shooter from the point guard spot, Neel has been excelling as a playmaker for [program_tooltip program_id='2335148' first='Kentuckiana' last='Hoops'] 17u and had a really good weekend for them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2046738"],"_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-6a0bc2e8c8330"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Omari has been one of my favorite players in the class since we started covering it and he was named a top performer in the NXT Pro circuit over the weekend. Jointer is a top athlete in this class, holding offers in both basketball and football. As explosive as he is, Jointer is going to end up being a D1 athlete, one way or another.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2969745"],"_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-6a0bc2e8c8386"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson had a big weekend where he averaged nearly 20 points per game. On Friday, JaMylyn had 23 points and 7 assists versus only one turnover. The guard from GRC spent the weekend making clutch plays, including game clinching free throws in two games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

The annual May Live Period was this weekend and players from Kentucky were scattered all around the country. There were players from Tulsa all the way to Baltimore. Here's a look at some Juniors whose college stock is on the rise after the weekend.
