We are going to skip over the players in the Top 10 of the class since those players have already been broken down in our Top 10 article.
Kenyon Goodin Kenyon Goodin 6'3" | CG Collins | 2023 State KY , Collins – A two sport star who is likely to have offers in football and basketball before all is said and done. Kenyon plays with a great motor and defensive intensity. He needs to become a more consistent three point shooter to reach his ceiling but his mechanics are good so he should see his percentages raise over time.
Cam McClain Cam McClain 6'3" | SG Trinity | 2023 State KY , Trinity – McClain has hit a little bit of a Sophomore slump with his shooting but he’s still a top talent in the city of Louisville in this class. Cam has a good build and is capable of bullying opposing guards to get to the rim. He could ultimately be a point guard but for now, Cam is a combo who probably plays off the ball more than he does on it.
Jamal Chambers Jamal Chambers 6'2" | PG Fern Creek | 2023 State KY , Male – Chambers got some shine in the camp circuit leading up to the season but is still finding his footing early in his Sophomore season at Male. Jamal is able to play on or off the ball but fashions himself more of a PG than a SG but has played off the ball a lot for Male thus far.
Aydan Hamilton Aydan Hamilton 6'5" | SG Campbell County | 2023 State KY , Campbell County – Campbell is known to typically rely on upperclassmen but Hamilton has been a two year starter for the Camels. Aydan is one of the top Sophomores in northern Kentucky and could really boost his college stock this summer if he has a strong AAU campaign.
Cole Mills Cole Mills 6'2" | CG Marshall County | 2023 State KY , Marshall County – Mills has played on the ball as a point with Harmon out injured this season but Cole figures to slide back off the ball when Zion returns. He’s not shooting the three ball well this season but Mills is a solid shooter overall and a better athlete than he’s given credit for.
Other Names to Know:
Kenyata Carbon Kenyata Carbon 6'1" | SG Owensboro | 2023 State KY , Owensboro – Two sport star with potential to be a scholarship player in football or basketball.
Tramane Alcorn Tramane Alcorn 6'0" | CG Lincoln County | 2023 State KY , Lincoln County – Tramane is playing a much bigger role this season and if he can improve his 3 point shooting, he’ll have a chance to earn scholarships.
Zack Otis Zack Otis 6'0" | CG Bath County | 2023 State KY , Bath County – Tough guard is putting up huge scoring numbers this year.
Gerard Thomas Gerard Thomas 6'2" | PG Henderson County | 2023 State KY , Henderson County – Came from out of nowhere to be one of the best Sophomores in the 2nd region.
Zach Watterson Zach Watterson 6'1" | CG Lee County | 2023 State KY , Lee County – His high school team struggles but Watterson has been a top scorer in Kentucky for the last two seasons now.
