Rashad Bishop Rashad Bishop 6'7" | PF Ballard | 2020 State KY , Ballard – The Ballard big man is long and athletic and finishes everything with two hands around the rim. He has D1 potential as a traditional 4 man who rim runs and finishes. He may be the best rebounder in Louisville and should have more than the D2 offer he has right now.
Eli Roberts Eli Roberts 6'7" | PF Manual | 2020 State KY , Manual – Another Louisville post player, Eli has preferred walk-on offers from Samford and Bellarmine but should have scholarship offers. He’s 6’7 and very athletic with a college ready build. With a 3.95 GPA and a 29 on his ACT, some high academic schools should come calling.
Ray Surratt, Lafayette – One of the most skilled bigs in the state, Ray would be a steal for a D2 or NAIA school who would redshirt him and let him spend a year improving his strength. Surratt can score the ball inside or out and has good defensive timing.
Amari Taylor Amari Taylor 6'2" | PG Tates Creek | 2020 State KY , Tates Creek – Every time Amari starts to get some momentum in recruiting, he suffers an unfortunate injury. Despite his awful injury luck the last few season, Taylor can play either guard spot and could be among the leading scorers in Lexington this season.
Nik Sorrell Nik Sorrell 6'0" | PG Glasgow | 2020 State KY , Glasgow – Sorrell’s recruiting is nowhere near what it should be, in my opinion. He can score the ball or facilitate for others but he’s been hurt by playing at a small class A school and being a multiple sport athlete. A NAIA or D2 school needing a scoring point should get to Glasgow.
Cameron Underwood, Butler – Underwood is a tremendous shooter who can guard his position. Cam plays much bigger than his height because he’s long and doesn’t back down from anyone. He can play or guard the 2-4 spots on the floor and should draw some more attention over the course of his Senior year.
Jabari Kyle Jabari Kyle 6'2" | PG Middlesboro | 2020 State KY , Middlesboro – Kyle is a lot like Sorrell but is bigger and a better athlete. Jabari is a scoring point guard who can get into the paint and score or facilitate for others. He’s not a great shooter but he is the type of kid who goes NAIA and becomes a really good 4 year player.
Zak Perdew Zak Perdew 6'0" | PG Bullitt East | 2020 State KY , Bullitt East – Zak is a combo guard who is comfortable playing on or off the ball and can score the ball against just about anyone. Perdew is a two sport star and could have a future on the soccer field but some high academic school would do well to add him to their roster.
Daeshawn White Daeshawn White 6'2" | CG Newport | 2020 State KY , Newport – After being a 4th option the last couple years, this season is White’s turn to shine. I’m not sure that he’s a point guard but he can play on or off the ball comfortably and can really play defense. Look for him to be a top player in Northern Kentucky this year.
Trent Findley Trent Findley 6'2" | CG Seneca | 2020 State KY , Jr. Seneca – After making the move from Male, Findley is eligible at Seneca and likely to be one of their top players. He’s another player with high academics and a high ceiling on the court. Don’t be surprised if a team gets a steal with Trent.
