There are still transfers making their way into Kentucky even though school has started all over the state. Here's a look at some impact transfers from outside of Kentucky. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2141045"],"_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-6a94aa4bb79ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McKinney was the top ranked 2027 in Kansas before enrolling at Newport. He holds multiple D1 offers and at 6'11" will put the Wildcats in the mix to be the top team in Kentucky for the preseason. PH Kansas' Adrian Maloney said the following: "At 6'11” with rare versatility, he's a matchup nightmare—too skilled and fluid for traditional bigs to stay in front of, yet too strong and polished for smaller defenders to contain. His ability to stretch the floor, handle the ball, protect the rim, and finish through contact makes him virtually unguardable. With a complete blend of size, skill, and basketball IQ, Ben isn't just the top prospect of his class—he's a generational talent in the making." That's some seriously high praise for the newest D1 player in Northern Kentucky.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3734994"],"_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-6a94aa4bb7a18"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Recently imported from Puerto Rico, Rosado is a 6'5 Wing with a ton of international experience. He's been a FIBA Gold Medalist and played in multiple FIBA World Cups. He joins fellow Puerto Rican [player_tooltip player_id='2960479' first='Carlos' last='Cruz'] who transferred to play for the Eagles last season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2715345"],"_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-6a94aa4bb7a3d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kids tend to move back and forth across the Kentucky/West Virginia border and Micaiah is the latest to arrive in the 16th region. Ehirim is a strong point guard who excels on the defensive end. He's a good athlete and will be in a position to help Boyd by playing both on and off the ball as a Senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3730804"],"_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-6a94aa4bb7a5f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Flanery is an interesting case because he played at GRC as a freshman and sophomore before transferring to Tennessee last winter. Now Tybee is back and has enrolled at Montgomery County. With legit size and the ability to step out and shoot the ball, Flanery should be able to give the Indians offense a different look and provide more rebounding on the defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Basketball practice is only 6 weeks away and we are 3 months from the first games of the season. There are still transfers making their way into Kentucky even though school has started all over the state. Here's a look at some impact transfers from outside of Kentucky.
