Continue ReadingThe Junior class rankings have expanded all the way out to nearly 130 players already. This is possibly the best class of prospects since Prep Hoops Kentucky launched. A dozen prospects already have D1 offers and twice that many could have D1 offers a year from now. Here’s a look at the biggest risers in the updated 2023 Rankings.
Ian Hart Ian Hart 6'7" | PF McCracken County | 2023 State KY , McCracken County (Unranked–>59) – A reclass from 2022, Hart is a solid 6’7 forward with good midrange game and an evident skill level. Ian was a standout at our PH Top 250 last month and should be a scholarship level player in college as he already holds a very early offer from Bryant.
David Pfeifer David Pfeifer 6'8" | C Trinity | 2023 State KY , Trinity (Unranked–>60) – Pfeifer was a role player with Trinity last season but impressed enough in a workout to earn an offer from University of the Cumberlands this spring. David had a solid summer of AAU with Manimal Elite and should have a chance to play a bigger role with Trinity this season.
Mason Guffey Mason Guffey 6'5" | SF Taylor County | 2023 State KY , Taylor County (100–>62) – Another standout at our Top 250 expo last month, Mason is an athletic wing who transferred from Grant County to Taylor this summer and is likely to be the go-to option on offense this season for the Cardinals.
Konlin Brown Konlin Brown 5'9" | PG Henry Clay | 2023 State KY , Henry Clay (83–>65) – Konlin is a tough guard with a high IQ that should have a big role at Henry Clay this season. A coach’s kid, Brown has grown up around the game and you can tell with his skill level and playmaking that he has been in a gym for most of his life.
Crew Gibson Crew Gibson 6'8" | PF DeSales | 2023 State KY , DeSales (95–>68) – Gibson was slotted in at 95 this summer after transferring into Louisville from Southern Indiana. Crew showed a diverse skill set at our Top 250 expo last month and looks like he can be a difference maker in the region for a reloading DeSales team.
Sam Gibson Sam Gibson 7'0" | C Holy Cross | 2023 State KY , Covington Holy Cross (84–69) – Sam has worked to change his body, losing nearly 50 pounds over a 6 month period. That has helped his overall athleticism and the 6’10 Gibson could be in line for a breakout Junior season for Holy Cross.
