<p>The season is on the horizon and several of Kentucky's top 2027s have already made their college decisions. Thus far, 16 of the state's Seniors have committed to play at the next level (including football players). Here's a look at the top players left on the board, by position.</p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Small Forward:</span></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2392232' first='Tommy' last='Gregg'], North Oldham - A lights out shooter with great size, Tommy holds multiple D1 offers and is primed for a big Senior season for one of the favorites to win the state title this season.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='3502164' first='Michael' last='Cleaver'], North Hardin</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2960461' first='Oakland' last='Shearer'], North Oldham - Shearer has the potential to lock down opposing wings and is a solid offensive player who makes the most of his opportunities. He has super high academics and will compete for playing time wherever he signs.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2434653' first='Asher' last='Horn'], Tates Creek</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2149111' first='Ethan' last='Buell'], South Laurel - One of the best players in the state that no one seems to talk about. Buell has good size and is really skilled. He plays hard and could be the regional player of the year.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2125710' first='Jack' last='Bradley'], Bethlehem</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2125708' first='Henry' last='Howard'], North Oldham</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2628368' first='Martell' last='Tuttle'], Greenwood - A long and athletic wing with the potential to blossom at the collegiate level. Tuttle has a lot of tools and could be a breakout star this season for the Gators</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2046739' first='Joe' last='Smith'], South Laurel</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Shooting Guard:</span></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2389668' first='Garrison' last='Gilvin'], Ballard</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1745595' first='Michael' last='Ray Stinnett'], Fairdale - One of the most prolific shooters in the state. Michael Ray is deadly as a catch and shoot player and continues to improve in all other aspects of his game.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2241686' first='Graham' last='Swartz'], Great Crossing - Swartz could be the difference between Great Crossing getting to Rupp and being a legitimate threat to win it all. Graham is a good athlete with a strong build and the potential to score 20 points any night he's on the court.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2399047' first='Braylon' last='Bilton'], Simon Kenton</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1745584' first='Austin' last='Slone'], Johnson Central</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2389580' first='Kamden' last='O'Hara'], Pendleton County - A big time shooter who can check a lot of boxes as a defender and a playmaker too. O'Hara has very strong academics and could help make Pendleton relevant in 10th region discussions.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2212469' first='Corey' last='Flinchum'], Lee County</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2712673' first='Khail' last='Ogletree'], W.E.B. DuBois</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2124540' first='Amare' last='Stewart'], Henderson County - Stewart has great length and can really shoot the ball. He has to continue to add to his wiry frame but Amare could be a steal at the scholarship level.</p>
