Ayden Evans Ayden Evans 6'9" | C Elizabethtown | 2024 State KY , North Hardin –> Elizabethtown – There likely won’t be a bigger transfer in the 5th region than the 6’8 Evans. Literally or figuratively. Ayden continues to improve on offense but his most immediate impact will come as a rim protector and rebounder for an E-Town team that finished at State Runners-Up last season.
Will Bishop, Rockcastle County –> Lincoln County – Bishop is coming back off foot surgery that cost him all but one game last season. Lincoln County is a contender in the 12th region and if Will can get back near his old self, he could be the piece that puts them over the top.
Alex Evans Alex Evans 6'4" | PF Elizabethtown | 2024 State KY , North Hardin –> Elizabethtown – Alex doesn’t get as much pub as his brother Ayden but he’s a solid prospect in his own right and will provide some much needed size and versatility to the Panther roster as they look to push their way back to Rupp.
James Mayor James Mayor 6'10" | C Ashland | 2024 State KY , Bath County –> Ashland – There is no timeline for Mayor to reach his potential but at 6’10, he’ll be nearly a foot taller than every other member of the Ashland roster and should provide rim protection and rebounding that the Tomcats lacked at times last season.
Will Gibson Will Gibson 6'6" | C DeSales | 2024 State KY , Floyd Central (IN) –> DeSales – Gibson has had a big summer of AAU and shown well for himself in camp settings since AAU ended. Will is 6’6 and still growing and could be a capable replacement at the 5 spot for a DeSales team that will need to reload after being hit hard by graduation and transfers.
Kyran Tilley Kyran Tilley 6'1" | PG Evangel Christian | 2024 State KY , Male –> Evangel Christian – Tilley is a reclassed 2023 who is likely to have the ball in his hands quite a bit this season for the Eagles. Kyran had a solid summer of AAU and should see a big role for an Evangel team that really struggled at the guard spots last season.
Julian Bunton, North Carolina –> Butler – Bunton returns to Kentucky after a couple of years away and will look to help push Butler back into the top tier of the 6th region. Julian is a skilled and flashy lead guard who is likely to be in a major role for the Bears this season.
