Continue ReadingThe 2023 class in Kentucky is one of the deepest we’ve seen and it shows in the rankings as we already have 140 ranked players in the class and over a dozen Juniors claiming D1 offers at this point. Here’s a look at some of the biggest movers in this update.
Caleb Brooks Caleb Brooks 6'9" | C Cooper | 2023 State KY , Cooper (36–>26) – Brooks climbs 10 spots after a strong Junior season where he put up multiple double doubles and has shown versatility on offense that he hasn’t flashed as much in the past. Caleb would be a top 10-15 player in any other class but 2023 is so deep he has yet to move that high. He could with a strong summer though.
Crew Gibson Crew Gibson 6'8" | PF DeSales | 2023 State KY , DeSales (68–>35) – Crew got moved into the rankings after a move over from Indiana but earned a big push up the list after a season that saw him flash his versatility on offense and some ability to switch on the defensive end. He should impress college coaches enough this summer to have some offers come his way.
Javier Ward Javier Ward 5'11" | CG Holy Cross | 2023 State KY , Covington Holy Cross (72–>42) – Ward rode a wave of momentum all season long that has pushed him all the way up 30 spots. Javier is super athletic and quick with the ball in his hands. He continues improving as a shooter and shouldn’t be overlooked by coaches at the next level.
Landen Hamilton Landen Hamilton 5'11" | CG Conner | 2023 State KY , Conner (63–>48) – Hamilton is the best player in northern Kentucky that no one talks about. Landen leads Conner in most offfensive categories as well as being their on court leader. He still needs to add bulk to his frame but the 6’2 guard could be in line for a big summer.
Tramane Alcorn Tramane Alcorn 6'0" | CG Lincoln County | 2023 State KY , Lincoln County (77–>50) – Alcorn has been an impact player for Lincoln County for a few years now but broke out a little bit this season for the Patriots. Heading into the summer, Tramane should have a chance to play with the ball in his hands more than he has at Lincoln this season and his college position is likely to be as a point.
