Reece Potter Reece Potter 6'11" | C Lexington Catholic | 2023 State #212 Nation KY , Lexington Catholic – Potter is pushing 7 foot tall at this point and likely to grab multiple D1 offers this July AAU period. He’s a good shooter with size and should add bulk to his frame if he ever stops growing. His post game still needs work but he’s a good rim protector on the defensive end.
Tyson Barrett Tyson Barrett 6'8" | PF Frederick Douglass | 2023 FL , Frederick Douglass – A reclass from 2022, Barrett will eventually be a 3 or a stretch 4 but his wing skills are still developing and his offense is behind his defense right now. Tyson is a high level athlete with great length and a tremendous motor. He’s one of the best dunkers in the state and has big time D1 upside.
Christian Collins Christian Collins 6'8" | PF Breathitt County | 2023 State KY , Breathitt County – Another reclass from 2022, Collins burst on the scene at the KBC event in Lexington earlier this month. He’s long and athletic and plays above the rim consistently. His defensive effort is sometimes lacking because he wants to run out for dunks but his ceiling is high as a prospect.
Trent Edwards Trent Edwards 6'8" | PF George Rogers Clark | 2023 State KY , George Rogers Clark – The last 2022 reclass on this list, Trent is long and athletic and can play inside or out. His ball skills are still improving so he’s not yet a true wing but he can play on the perimeter some. Edwards is also an excellent rim protector at 6’7 and the extra year he’s taking should help with adding bulk to his frame.
Chandler Starks Chandler Starks 6'6" | C Anderson | 2023 State OH , Covington Catholic – A big bodied post who can play with his back to the basket or facing up, Chandler is a smooth scorer who is also an above average rebounder. Starks moves well but is a little undersized to be a post long term. He’ll need to keep improving his wing skills to keep raising his college stock.
