Cam McClain Cam McClain 6'3" | SG Trinity | 2023 State KY , Trinity – Cam plays in a system at Trinity that doesn’t necessarily allow for a ton of individual shine but he’s a talented guard that can score the ball at a high level and guards multiple positions. He should be a scholarship level player by the time his signing day rolls around.
Gerard Thomas Gerard Thomas 6'2" | PG Henderson County | 2023 State KY , Henderson County – Coach Smithhart recently told me that Thomas is the best player to come through Henderson since David Simmons in 2015. Anyone who remembers David knows that is super high praise. Gerard is a big guard who can score the ball all over. Definitely a player to track moving forward.
Kenyata Carbon Kenyata Carbon 6'1" | SG Owensboro | 2023 State KY , Owensboro – The 2023 class at Owensboro had a lot of hype a couple of years ago and will likely be a force in the 3rd for the next 2 years. Carbon is the best of that group and has been a major player for the Red Devils the last 2 years. Look for him to be in the mix for regional player of the year for the next 2 years.
Aydan Hamilton Aydan Hamilton 6'5" | SG Campbell County | 2023 State KY , Campbell County – Hamilton is a big guard/wing who is among the best prospects in the 10th but hasn’t played any AAU due to baseball this spring so his stock slipped. He could be a major mover back up the rankings if he has a big month of July.
Jack McCune Jack McCune 6'5" | SG McCracken County | 2023 State KY , McCracken County – McCune was rumored to reclass to 2024 at one point but stays in 2023 for now. A big guard, Jack was expected to have a bigger role next year for the Mustangs before SB 128 brought the region player of the year back. He should at least fill the void left by his older brother’s graduation.
