Continue ReadingWith the loss of the Sweet Sixteen and no spring AAU where they could play as unsigned Seniors, there are a lot of Seniors across Kentucky still looking for their college destination. With graduation not too far away and college on the horizon, here’s a look at the top available Seniors in the bluegrass state. They are broken down by position group and in order by their spot in the PHKY rankings.
Top Available Centers
Ksuan Casey Ksuan Casey 6'9" | C Madisonville-North Hopkins | 2020 State KY , Madisonville-North Hopkins – One of the top available players in the class, Ksuan was voted to the first team All State by Kentucky’s coaches just today. At 6’9 and possessing a polished low post skill set, Ksuan should be a D1 commit at some point. He has had offers in the past from Morehead State and Evansville (before their coaching change).
Ray Suratt Ray Suratt 6'10" | C Lafayette | 2020 State KY , Lafayette – After averaging 24 points and 11 rebounds in his Senior season, you would think that Big Ray would have a long list of college suitors already. Suratt shot 67% from the field and 39% from three on the season but the Generals struggled mightily and limped to a 10-21 record. Ray should be a scholarship level player in college.
Riley Bodner Riley Bodner 6'9" | C Lincoln County | 2020 State KY , Lincoln County – Probably the best defender and shot blocker on the list, Bodner is an underrated offensive player who is an excellent passer out of the post. After averaging 9 points and 9 rebounds per game in his Senior year, Bodner’s best basketball is ahead of him.
Preston Murrell Preston Murrell 6'8" | C John Hardin | 2020 State KY , John Hardin – Another player whose best ball is likely ahead of him, the 6’9 Murrell averaged 10 points and 6 rebounds as a Senior. Shooting 62% from the floor, Preston shows his efficiency as a low post threat. He has some small college offers and is likely to pick one soon.
Jaylen Barber Jaylen Barber 6'8" | C Great Crossing | 2020 State KY , Great Crossing – If you’re looking for high potential, Jaylen is your guy. At 6’8 and very long and athletic, Barber has steadily improved over the last few years and would make sense for a junior college wanting to take a low risk, high reward player in the 2020 class. If he can ever stop fouling so much, Barber will increase his impact on the floor.
Lincoln Bush Lincoln Bush 6'7" | C George Rogers Clark | 2020 State KY , George Rogers Clark – Another player with multiple small college scholarship offers, Bush plays with a mean streak and averaged an impressive 14 points and 14 rebounds this season. A 59% shooter from the floor, Lincoln was a difference maker for the Cardinals this season and should be a good small college player in the future after he adds some muscle.
Alex Schlach Alex Schlach 6'5" | C Mason County | 2020 State KY , Mason County – One of the best players in the 10th region this season, Alex is a highly skilled big body that can move and is an underrated athlete. He has great grades and good test scores and would be steal for a high academic D3 school where he can get his education paid for with an academic scholarship.
