Zee McCown Zee McCown 5'10" | PG Pleasure Ridge Park | 2023 State PA , PRP – There may not be a player in Kentucky having a better last 2 weeks than the guard from Louisville. Zee has proven himself to be an elite level shot maker. Despite his being undersized, McCown has been putting up 20+ per game consistently for Quinn Anvils and showing he can score with the best players in the country.
Ondre Wicks Ondre Wicks 6'5" | SF Western | 2023 State KY , Western – Speaking of playing with the best players in the country, Ondre battled against Each 1 Teach 1 out of Florida last Saturday (one of the best teams in America) and never once didn’t fit in or look overmatched. An elite athlete, Wicks showed he can score against the best in America and never once backed down from 4 and 5 star talents. He is likely to have a bunch of D1 offers this time next year.
Tim Fuller II, Shelby County – The last time I saw Fuller was in the fall and he was not a very fluid athlete and a volume shooter. Over the last 7 or so months, it looks like Tim has grown another inch or two and his coordination has caught up to his body. Now 6’6 (maybe taller), Fuller II moves a lot better and looks much more athletic. He recently tweeted an offer from Southern Utah and more could come his way.
Jaden Biggers Jaden Biggers 6'6" | PF Bryan Station | 2023 State KY , Bryan Station – Looking at the stats, it’s impossible to believe Jaden only averaged 3 points and 4 rebounds last season. The 6’6 forward is a big body with tremendous low post skill and a solid shooting touch. His footwork is fantastic and he should draw D1 coaches soon even if he’s a little undersized as a post prospect. If he grows any more, his ceiling will only get higher as a prospect.
DeJohn Blunt DeJohn Blunt 6'4" | CG Great Crossing | 2023 MD , Bourbon County – A month ago, I would have said “who??” if you asked me about Blunt but he’s been making a name for himself this Spring. After only playing 3 games for Henry Clay as a Sophomore, DeJohn has announced a transfer to Bourbon County as well as a reclass to 2024. He put up 36 in a game this past weekend and looks primed for a big summer if he continues on his current trajectory.
