Player | Height | High School | Notes |
Ethan Dunn Ethan Dunn 5'11" | PG Montgomery County | 2025 State KY | 5’11 | Paris | Rumors that he could have moved back to 2024 but he’s had a good summer of AAU on 15u level. |
Kaden Magwood Kaden Magwood 6'3" | CG Western | 2025 WV | 6’2 | Western | One of the top prospects in the class in my opinion, Magwood is a 3 level scorer with good length and athleticism. |
Drake Slone Drake Slone 6'1" | CG Knott County Central | 2025 State KY | 6’1 | Knott County Central | Role player on a veteran KCC team last year. He’ll be counted on for a big role this season. |
Sawyer Thompson Sawyer Thompson 6'2" | CG Pineville | 2025 State KY | 6’0 | Pineville | Likely to be the leading scorer for Pineville this season, Thompson is a skilled guard who can score all over. |
Greg Brooks Greg Brooks 6'0" | SG Cordia | 2025 MD | 6’0 | Cordia | Brooks arrived in Kentucky last year and made and immediate impact as a 20 point per game scorer last season. |
Zander Carter Zander Carter 6'6" | SG Ashland Blazer | 2025 State #296 Nation KY | 6’3 | Ashland | 2024 reclass who played a big role for the Tomcats last and should make an impact early and often this year. |
Jeremiah Van De Cruze | 6’0 | Burgin | Bully guard who gets to the rim and can finish well. Should have a big role for one of Kentucky’s smallest schools this year. |
Griffen Derry Griffen Derry 6'3" | SG Dixie Heights | 2025 State KY | 6’0 | Dixie Heights | Unorthodox player who can score the ball well. Good shooter who will be a role player for a good 9th region team. |
Andersen Green Andersen Green 6'3" | SG Lexington Christian | 2025 State KY | 6’2 | Lexington Christian | Strong and skilled guard who can get downhill and finish at the rim. A well rounded prospect who impacts the game on both ends. |
Maddox Huff Maddox Huff 6'3" | PG Harlan County | 2025 State KY | 6’0 | Harlan County | Talented scorer who takes and makes tough shots routinely. Had a strong AAU season playing on 15u. |
Connor Loy Connor Loy 6'0" | SG Adair County | 2025 State KY | 5’9 | Adair County | Averaged 13 points per game last season. Tough guard who will be among the best 2025s in the region. |
Carmelo Mercer | 6’1 | Evangel Christian | 2024 reclass is a volume scorer who shot the ball very well last season at 46% from 3. |
Samuel Shoptaw | 6’1 | Hazard | Efficient scorer as an 8th grader at the varsity level and will need to carry a large scoring burden next year. |
Jasper Johnson Jasper Johnson 6'5" | PG Woodford County | 2025 #15 Nation MO | 6’3 | Woodford County | 2024 reclass is a big time scorer and 2 sport star. Likely to have offers for both football and basketball. |
