Greg Cole Greg Cole 5'10" | SG Pleasure Ridge Park | 2023 State KY , PRP – The Panthers have a loaded and veteran roster and Cole plays his role very well as a secondary ball handler who can score the ball at the rim or from beyond the three point line. On Saturday he had 20 points on an efficient 7 of 11 shooting including 5 of 8 from three.
Jakob Dixon Jakob Dixon 6'4" | SF Pleasure Ridge Park | 2023 State KY , PRP – The player who caught my eye the most for PRP had to be the long and athletic Junior. Jakob did most of his scoring in transition and off of turnovers but he had 2 big time dunks that flashed athleticism that coaches covet. His stats were modest with 11 points and 4 rebounds but Dixon flashed some serious potential.
Alandre Murphy Alandre Murphy 6'3" | SF Elizabethtown | 2022 State KY , Elizabethtown – Murphy was a 2021 and has been ranked in both 2021 and 2022 but he looked much more comfortable playing on the ball than he did in the past when the Panthers had a roster full of ball handlers and Alandre was restricted to playing on the wing. Murphy is a player that small colleges should have on their radars.
Jackson Washington Jackson Washington 6'2" | SG Christian Academy Of Louisville | 2024 State KY , CAL – The younger brother of Ohio State commit George Washington, BB is absolutely deadly in the catch and shoot game. At about 6’4, BB was dunking all over the rim during warmups but ended up primarily being a catch and shoot player on Saturday but he shot at a high level and with great range.
Luke Anderson Luke Anderson 6'8" | PF North Oldham | 2023 State KY , North Oldham – Luke is about 6’6 and very athletic. He did a great job of protecting the rim for the Mustangs against Western on Saturday and had several big time blocks. His skill set is still evolving on offense but Anderson’s greatest impact was felt on the defensive end and makes a difference for North Oldham in the paint.
