Player | Height | High School | Notes |
Hayden Blakeman Hayden Blakeman 6'5" | SF Green County | 2025 State KY | 6’3 | Green County | 2024 reclass was a 13 point per game scorer last year and should exceed that in his second Freshman season. |
Vincent Dawson III Vincent Dawson III 6'5" | SG Great Crossing | 2025 State #327 Nation KY | 6’5 | Great Crossing | 2024 reclassed big wing is a good shooter who averaged 8 points last season while making 41% of his threes. |
Julius Edmonds Julius Edmonds 6'6" | SF Trinity | 2025 State #253 Nation KY | 6’6 | Western | One of the best prospects in the class at this stage, Edmonds is a versatile wing forward who can score and rebounds at a high level. |
Jordan Mabe Jordan Mabe 6'8" | PF South Laurel | 2025 State KY | 6’5 | South Laurel | Sat out last season due to reclass but played 15u AAU all season. Skilled player that is underrated as a passer. |
Gage Richardson Gage Richardson 6'5" | SG Great Crossing | 2025 State KY | 6’3 | Great Crossing | Played varsity at Scott County last year before enrolling at Great Crossing this summer. Good wing scorer. |
Austin Sperry Austin Sperry 6'3" | SG Breathitt County | 2025 State KY | 6’3 | Breathitt County | 2024 reclass who puts up big scoring numbers. His ceiling as a prospect will depend on his willingness to play defense. |
Kendall Phillips | 6’4 | Wayne County | Averaged 13 PPG last season while shooting 44% from deep. Part of a young core at Wayne that will surprise some people. |
Malachi Moreno Malachi Moreno 6'11" | C Great Crossing | 2025 State #21 Nation KY | 6’10 | Great Crossing | If this were a ranking, he’d be number one right now thanks to elite size. Improving athletically and around the rim. EKU has already offered. |
EJ Walker EJ Walker 6'8" | PF Lloyd Memorial | 2025 State #116 Nation KY | 6’6 | Lloyd Memorial | A big summer earned him an offer from Youngstown State this month. Should see more production on the varsity level as a freshman. |
