<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Just hours after I released the first part of this series, one of the prospects featured transferred to a different school than the one I reported on. That's how volatile the Kentucky High School transfer portal is these days. Here are a few more guys in new threads to keep on your radar:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3683451"],"_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-6a8f56bbb81eb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hailing from Bell County, Bentley will officially begin his high school journey at South Laurel joining his brother, [player_tooltip player_id='2149111' first='Ethan' last='Buell'], a top 60 recruit in our 2027 class rankings. Bentley was one of a handful of 8th graders that saw a notable amount of action at the varsity level last season. His shooting potential at his size makes for a high ceiling prospect long term as evidenced by his debut at #6 in our 2030 rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3603798"],"_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-6a8bd7f91945b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kye has been on my radar for years. A confident scoring threat that operates efficiently at either guard spot, he was a huge piece for Oldham County's offense last season. Coming off of a breakout sophomore campaign during which he averaged 14.6 PPG, he's now taken his talents to the 7th Region with CAL. The Centurions are led by a nationally recognized duo in [player_tooltip player_id='2520123' first='Boogie' last='Cook'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2492699' first='Myles' last='Howard'], but they'll have to replace a lot of scoring after losing Rider University PG Jayden Washington to graduation. That's where Kye comes in.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2855815"],"_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-6a8bd7f9193d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Silas shared the news of his transfer from Louisville Trinity to CAL a few months ago. His accuracy from distance alongside that of [player_tooltip player_id='2406542' first='[player_tooltip player_id='2398439' first='William' last='']' last='Alvey'] and [player_tooltip player_id='3603798' first='Malakye' last='Bowen'] will do tremendous favors for the Centurions. Silas has yet to showcase his talents at the varsity level, but I've seen how much he can impact a game in summer ball settings while sharing the court with D1 prospects. His breakout season could be on the horizon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":3731010,"_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-6a8bd7f91957c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I'm excited for Chris' return to high school hoops. He was one of the most productive sophomores in the state during the 24-25 season but had to sit out last year due to an eligibility clearance holdup after transferring to Shawnee. Now at Jeffersontown, he should step into a high impact role for the Chargers who, like most, were hit hard by the transfer portal and graduation bugs. If his impressive play versus grown men at the Louisville Dirt Bowl this past summer is any indication of how his senior season will go, Chris should be at the top of scouting reports.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
