<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This Junior class in Kentucky is crazy loaded and has scholarship level players all over the place. It's one of the deepest groups I've seen in my time covering the state for PHKY. Let's break down some 2028s who need to be on the radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2734710"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab51940c0281"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Terry was a top 8 player in West Virginia before transferring over to Kentucky and enrolling at Martin County this summer. Keaton really passes the eye test as he is a big and strong with a great frame and is capable of rebounding at a high rate. With the loss of Braxton Keathley to Prolific Prep, Keaton could come in and be the go-to player at Martin County right out of the gate this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3246445"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab51940c02c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One thing about transfers is they open up opportunity for other players. That's the case with Bartlett at Trinity. With [player_tooltip player_id='2389668' first='Garrison' last='Gilvin'] gone to Ballard, Jaidan is the new top dog at Trinity and has the chance to be the biggest breakout star in Louisville. A big wing player with a ton of potential, don't be shocked if Bartlett suddenly becomes a 16-18 point per game scorer and draws serious D1 interest this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2360951"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab51940c02f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The transfer trend continues in this article as Conner recently announced a transfer back to GRC after spending his Sophomore season back with Powell County. If he gets eligible, Morguson brings a good outside shooter and advanced playmaker to the defending state champions. Capable of playing with the ball in his hands or on the wing, Conner was a 20+ PPG scorer last season and should provide another aspect to the Cards' offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2381668"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab51940c031d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It's easy to overlook the third option at Great Crossing because [player_tooltip player_id='2091803' first='LJ' last='Holman'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2454749' first='Brady' last='Orem'] get the most attention but Colt has become a very good prospect in his own right. A stocky guard with a smooth jumper and a quick release, Delimpo could be the best midrange scorer in the 11th region and will have to replace the all around impact that Trevanti Cooper brought to the regional title team a year ago.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532050"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab51940c0346"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dexter is a potential breakout star for a Central team that is working to get back to the thick of the 7th region title race. Mcatee shoots the ball at a high level and is a willing defender. Now playing more of a point guard position, Dex's ballhandling has really improved and his strong frame allows him to be a physical driver. If Mcatee can get his motor running 100% of the time, he could work his way on to college radars this next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

This Junior class in Kentucky is crazy loaded and has scholarship level players all over the place. It's one of the deepest groups I've seen in my time covering the state for PHKY. Let's break down some 2028s who need to be on the radar.
