Continue ReadingWith their 16u AAU seasons winding down and their Junior seasons coming up this winter, the 2024 class is taking shape as some kids have moved way up with this update. Here’s a look at the top power forwards and posts in the updated 2024 rankings. This does not include players who cracked the top 10 rankings for the class.
Beau Baker, Washington County – Baker is a 3 sport star who can have a D1 future in any of the three. He’ll eventually have to figure out what he wants to do at the next level but Beau is a big, bruising forward who has skill around the rim and continues to stretch his game out past the three point line as his game evolves.
Mason Ritter Mason Ritter 6'8" | C Bowling Green | 2024 State KY , Bowling Green – One of the biggest sleepers in the class, Ritter is huge and a better athlete than what he’s given credit for. Mason is also high academic and could easily play in the Ivy League or at elite academic schools in college. For now, he needs to continue mastering his foot work and post moves but he’s got a lot of the tools that college coaches covet.
Will Gibson Will Gibson 6'6" | C DeSales | 2024 State KY , DeSales – As mentioned in the Biggest Movers article yesterday, Will is a fantastic passer who plays with a high motor and can keep you honest with his outside shooting. With his off the charts skill level, Gibson is absolutely a problem for every 6th region opponent and should be a scholarship level player.
Johnny Djema Johnny Djema 6'8" | PF Evangel Christian | 2024 State KY , Evangel Christian – Djema has a ways to go with his skill level and offensive game but he can absolutely alter games with his length on the defensive end. Johnny is capable of blocking 5 or more shots a game and rebounds at a high level. Once his offense catches up, watch for him to start attracting college coaches to come check him out at Evangel.
Brady Shoulders Brady Shoulders 6'6" | PF Lyon County | 2024 State KY , Lyon County – Brady ultimately should be a big wing or a stretch 4 but right now he’s playing just as much inside as he is outside. His offensive game keeps developing and he’s a capable defender in the post or on the wing. Travis Perry Travis Perry 6'2" | PG Lyon County | 2024 State #115 Nation KY gets the headlines at Lyon County but Brady is a huge part of their team in his own right.
