Jerone Morton Jerone Morton 6'3" | SG George Rogers Clark | 2023 State KY , George Rogers Clark/Power Circle – One of the best players in the state and MVP of the state championship winning Cardinals, Morton is a crafty scorer who plays with a good motor. Possibly best lefty in Kentucky, Jerone is a lot like James Harden as he can score all over and does it relatively smoothly.
Hayden Llewellyn Hayden Llewellyn 6'2" | CG Corbin | 2023 State KY , Corbin/Griffin Elite Perry – Hayden may be the most athletic guard in the state on a pound for pound basis. He’s one of the best players in a super talented 13th region and is hard to keep out of the paint when he’s determined to get there.
Teagan Moore Teagan Moore 6'4" | SF Owen County | 2023 State KY , Owen County/Griffin Elite – Probably the biggest stock riser in Kentucky this spring, Moore has earned 3 D1 offers in the last month and show no signs of slowing down any time soon.
Grant Whitaker Grant Whitaker 6'3" | PG Murray | 2023 State KY , Murray/Griffin Elite – The reigning first region player of the year, Murray’s Whitaker is a crafty player that can score the ball all over the court. Grant can play either guard spot at 6’4 and has shown the ability to guard multiple positions.
Jay Rose Jay Rose 6'4" | SG Madison Southern | 2024 State KY , Madison Southern/Griffin Elite Bordas – Rose picked up his first D1 offer this week when South Alabama pulled the trigger on the 6’4 shooting guard from Richmond. Jay is skilled and athletic and seems to get better every day out.
Ryan Davidson Ryan Davidson 6'4" | SF North Laurel | 2023 State KY , North Laurel/Vision Elite – Ryan has been a hot name this spring as he’s shown the ability to play on or off the ball and uses his strong body to finish through contact on his way to the rim. For Vision to win the event, Davidson likely needs to be the MVP.
Nick Spalding Nick Spalding 6'0" | PG Paul Laurence Dunbar | 2023 State KY , Paul Laurence Dunbar/Power Circle – One of the best shooter in the class, Spalding is one of the best players in the city of Lexington. Nick is a crafty player who can comfortably shoot from NBA range but also is capable of getting to the rim.
Sam Parrish Sam Parrish 6'0" | PG George Rogers Clark | 2023 State KY , George Rogers Clark/Cave Gym Elite – Parrish is a very bouncy point guard who can get to the rim or elevate and score from the midrange and three point line. Defensively, Sam is capable of causing a lot of problems for opposing guards.
Marcus Eaves Marcus Eaves 6'4" | SF North Hopkins | 2023 State KY , Madisonville-North Hopkins/Griffin Elite White – Eaves continues to be one of the best players that not many people know about. Marcus is a scoring machine with good size and bulk that can score the ball at every level.
