Rickey Lovette Rickey Lovette 6'6" | PF Montgomery County | 2021 State KY , Montgomery County – The Florida transplant has had a good 2 year career in Mount Sterling and is averaging 17 points and 12 rebounds per game and shooting 67% from the field. Rickey has shown some shooting ability this year but still doesn’t attempt many 3s. His high energy level and rebounding ability should land him at the NAIA/D2 level.
Dez Lindsay Dez Lindsay 6'6" | PF Male | 2022 State KY , Male – Dez has as much potential as anyone in the class but he has barely had a Senior season thanks to delays for Covid. Long and athletic, Lindsay could go Juco and find himself at the D1 level in a year or two.
Darrius Washington Darrius Washington 6'6" | PF Fern Creek | 2021 State KY , Fern Creek – Darrius committed and signed with Western Carolina this fall and has a ton of potential as a player who could shine at the next level. Washington has had modest stats for most of his career but that could be as much due to being stuck on the block when he has the skills to play out on the perimeter some also.
Cearius Warren, Fern Creek – “King” is another player whose individual production has been stunted by the fact that Fern Creek is such a talented roster from top to bottom. Warren is among the best athletes in the state but has to continue developing his perimeter skills to reach his ceiling at the next level.
Trevor Hardin Trevor Hardin 6'6" | PF Henry County | 2021 State KY , Henry County – Trevor is a blue collar player with a great motor and maximizes his ability by playing super hard. Hardin is averaging 21 and 12 white shooting 64% from the field as a Senior and would be a steal for a D2 or NAIA school this spring signing period.
Other Names to Know:
Ayden Mudd Ayden Mudd 6'6" | PF St. Xavier | 2021 State KY , St. Xavier – Headed to Bellarmine next year, Mudd is a stretch big who can really shoot from deep.
Jacobi Huddleston Jacobi Huddleston 6'8" | PF Bowling Green | 2021 State KY , Bowling Green – Jacobi has the body to play at the next level but his motor has to be running for him to reach his potential.
Hunter Penn Hunter Penn 6'5" | PF Woodford County | 2021 State KY , Woodford County – One of the better “high academic” prospects in the class, Hunter is a big body forward who can score inside and out.
Tony Moss Tony Moss 6'6" | PF Doss | 2022 State KY , Doss – A late bloomer, Moss has a chance to succeed at the next level as his skills keep developing.
Josh McGuire Josh McGuire 6'6" | PF Knott County Central | 2021 State KY , Knott County Central – Josh is among the most valuable players in the mountains as he does a little bit of everything for Knott to get a win.
