Continue ReadingThere has been a ton of movement in the 2024 class over the last 6 months as several players have moved back to 2025 while others that were in 2023 are now 2024 prospects. We’ve also added a lot of new names to the list and expanded to over 70 prospects already in our 2024 rankings. Here’s a breakdown of the top bigs in our 2024 rankings. This does not include players who made the top 10 of our rankings.
Brady Shoulders Brady Shoulders 6'6" | PF Lyon County | 2024 State KY , Lyon County – Shoulders is more of a stretch 4 or big wing than he is a post but he is definitely a forward. Shoulders has a big body and is very mobile. He has the ability to make shots from deep or around the basket and is the closest thing to a post player that the Lyons have on their roster.
Jayden Miles, Western – Potentially, Miles is one of the best prospects in the state in 2024. He’s long and a good athlete with good defensive instincts. Jayden missed 10 months after knee surgery but was able to play some AAU and “summer ball” with Western. He’s a player to keep an eye on moving forward.
Will Bishop, Lincoln County – Will was a top 3-5 prospect in the class before missing his freshman season and 15u AAU season after foot surgery. Hopefully Bishop will be back at 100% soon and able to have a healthy Sophomore season.
Alex Evans Alex Evans 6'4" | PF Elizabethtown | 2024 State KY , North Hardin – Evans could eventually become more of a wing prospect if he doesn’t grow. He needs to keep adding to his game but Alex is likely a future scholarship level player.
Skylar Ritchie Skylar Ritchie 6'8" | C Wolfe County | 2024 State KY , Wolfe County – Ritchie is a big body who has some skill around the bucket but needs to improve his overall athleticism and become a more active rebounder moving forward. Skylar is going to be one of the top Sophomores in the 15th next season and should have a much bigger role on a Wolfe team that graduated a lot.
