Maybe the most underrecruited player in Kentucky right now, I’m struggling to understand why Eastern Illinois is the only Division I school to offer Rickard in the last two years. Rickard was once again productive as the big man crashes the offensive glass hard with his wide frame and soft hands. Able to finish in the paint, Rickard doesn’t get pushed off his spot when he catches it in the paint and turns to score. Rickard also does a nice job of staying straight up when contesting shots and doesn’t foul often at the rim. I’d be shocked if Rickard ends July with no more new offers.

A stretch big who just added an offer from Eastern Illinois, Rickard has a lot of potential thanks to his size and emerging skill set. Wyatt also offers rim protection on the defensive end. He needs to be a more active rebounder but Rickard has a lot of tools and likely will see his stock continue to trend up over the next month or so and could end up with several more offers before signing day.

Maybe the biggest stock riser among 2027 Kentucky prospects this weekend, Rickard was dominant for Carlisle County. Rickard is a skilled big who can make shots off the catch or movement and does a nice job of catching and being assertive in the paint. Rickard combines perimeter shooting, decision making and size, giving his team a ton of options of how to use him. With a big like Rickard you unlock so many more offensive sets because of his shooting and passing ability from the center position. Rickard played like a no-brainer Division I target and should see his recruitment spike after this weekend.

Every coach values size and most really value bigs who can shoot. Rickard is a good player who can stretch out and knock down shots. If he shows he can guard good athletes, he could see offers come his way.

Rickard doesn’t get much notoriety because he’s in far west Kentucky but Wyatt is a highly skilled big man who is comfortable stepping out and shooting from range, too. Averaging 21 points and 10 rebounds so far this season, Rickard is shooting 53/33/76 and has the potential to be a stretch 4 or a face up 5 in college. UT Martin offered early and I expect more schools to come his way this summer.

Holding an early offer from UT-Martin, Rickard has developed a ton in the last few years. A good rim protector with a versatile skill set, Wyatt has the potential to gobble up a bunch of new D1 offers in the next 9-12 months.

Wyatt is skilled at 6’9″ and has a good looking three point shot. He still needs to continue developing his all around game but Rickard has started to become much more impactful as he has become a better rebounder and rim protector. Carlisle County needs everything to run through him on offense and that’s a good thing for the development of his overall game.

Wyatt Rickard Wyatt Rickard 6'10" | C/PF Carlisle County | 2027 State KY has built an impressive résumé with three All-District selections and recognition on the Region 1 All-Purchase Team. With an offer from UT Martin already in hand, he’s turning heads as a modern frontcourt weapon who can stretch the floor, protect the paint, and make plays in space. He’s comfortable stepping out beyond the arc while still finishing effectively around the rim. On defense, his timing and instincts make him a major obstacle for opponents. One of his most impressive outings last season included a triple-double performance with 25 points, 13 boards, and 10 blocks.

Rickard has shown some serious long term potential as a face up 5 man or even a stretch 4. He’s a good shot blocker on defense and can step out and shoot on the offensive end. Wyatt needs to get stronger but he has shown that he can take contact around the bucket in addition to his ability to knock down perimeter jumpers.

Rickard has a little more stretch to his game than the others on this list as he put up 106 threes this season. He’s a good shot blocker but not a super active rebounder at this point. Wyatt has a really high upside and seems to work really hard to improve his game. He’s a prospect that could have a big AAU season.
