2030 Prospects to Know Outside the Top 20

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's so early for these freshmen across the state and there will be a ton of movement in the rankings over the next 4 years. At this point, the rankings are pretty wide open but here are some names to keep tabs on as we march towards the 2026-27 Season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3733909"],"_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-6ab07f6b0ecf4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wilson is one of the bigger players in this class as he's already standing 6'5" and likely still growing. Sam is also pulling double duty as a two way starter on the Paris football team this fall. Once he gets to basketball season, it is likely that Wilson will be a starter for the Greyhounds on the court as well. A big body with some clear skills both around the bucket and out on the perimeter, Sam could be one of the best freshmen in the 10th region this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3733911"],"_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-6ab07f6b0ed6d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harlan County has had a good run of players over the last decade with Trent Noah, Maddox Huff and Reggie Cottrell all having big careers. I'm not predicting that Creech will be in that same category of player but he has a good pedigree and is going to be playing quite a bit for the Black Bears this winter. Ranking Trey 38th is more of a placeholder for now. There's a chance he is a top 15 or better player by the time the rankings update again.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3714400"],"_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-6ab07f6b0edbe"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Eastern is loaded with talent so there is a chance that Roberson is not a player we will hear from again until AAU season but he has the talent to make an impact. Lincoln is long and pretty bouncy already. He is comfortable shooting from range and is improving at putting the ball on the floor. Roberson will have to add bulk to his thin frame but he has time to do that and should develop as a freshman and JV player for the Eagles this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3476004"],"_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-6ab07f6b0ee06"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ferguson has a high floor as a prospect thanks to his strong frame and athleticism. Already comfortable dunking in traffic, Eli is continuing to add to his overall skill level since he is probably done growing already and looks more physically mature than your average freshman. If Ferguson can become a knock down shooter, he's going to project well as a scholarship level prospect when he gets older. Not ranked right now, Eli is a top 30 or better prospect in this class for sure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3733908"],"_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-6ab07f6b0ee4c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Large is a lot like recent Boyd County superstar Jacob Spurlock. He is in range to shoot a 3 once he gets out of his car in the parking lot. Josiah needs to continue to work on the other parts of his game but his shooting can impact his team's chances of winning just because not many in this class can stretch the floor as well as Josiah. If Large can be a consistent defender and rebounder, he will check a lot of boxes on that end of the floor and could possibly be one of the top freshmen in the 16th region this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
