Prep Hoops Lead Scout

One of the top available big men in the class, Tyler is a skilled big who can face up and score (39% from three) and can play with his back to the basket like a traditional big man. A good rebounder as well, Hunt is likely more of a 4 than a 5 in college but I think he can play either spot comfortably. If he continues to add bulk to his frame, Tyler Hunt Tyler Hunt 6'7" | PF Lafayette | 2026 State KY could be an absolute steal at the next level.

I think Hunt is one of Kentucky’s biggest sleepers. Moving from 82nd to 66th overall in this update, Tyler should be a big time target for D3 and high academic schools. Don’t be shocked if Hunt averages something like 20 points and 12 rebounds per game for a Lafayette team that should be in the mix in the 11th region title race.

A very high academic prospect, Hunt had a breakout year at Lafayette last season and could be a top 10 player in the 11th region this season. As a Junior, Tyler averaged 15 points and 8 rebounds per game for the Generals and should be a double figure per game rebounder in his Senior season. With his stellar academics, expect Tyler to garner A LOT of interest from D3 and high academic schools.

You won’t find many players with the size and athleticism that Hunt has in Kentucky. Hunt and Jarett Simpson Jarett Simpson 6'7" | PF/C Southwestern | 2026 State KY worked well on big to big actions early as when one of them gets the ball near the block, the defense usually tries to double and force them to give it up. A fluid athlete, Hunt threw down a dunk in transition where he got behind the defense. Also working on the glass with a couple of putback layups off offensive rebounds. Another player worth a look at the small college level on a team filled with college talent.

Moving up nearly 100 spots in this update, Hunt went from 178 to 80 overall and could be in the top 50 by the next update if his improvement keeps tracking like it has been. Tyler’s development reminds me of 2025 Blake Russell Blake Russell 6'9" | C Ballard | 2025 State KY and his recruitment could follow a similar path.

Hunt has had a good Junior season, averaging 14 points and 7 rebounds per game. He’s become impactful as both a low post scorer and a defender. Offering some rim protection, Tyler is good enough that AAU teams were fighting over him as recently as a week ago. Definitely a name to track this summer.
