Continue ReadingIt’s early in their careers and they’re about to start their Sophomore seasons in high school. There is sure to be huge movement up and down the list over the years as we get eyes on more players. We expanded our list to 55 total players in this update. Here are the top 10 in the updated 2023 class rankings.
Haven Ford Haven Ford 5'5" | CG Rowan County | 2023 State KY , Rowan County – One of the top prospects in the state regardless of class, Haven already has several D1 offers and looks like she’ll be a high major recruit before too long. She could be a future top 100 prospect nationally.
Triniti Ralston Triniti Ralston 5'7" | PG Sacred Heart | 2023 State KY , Sacred Heart – After spending her freshman season in a supporting role on a veteran team, look for Triniti to be the go to scorer for the Valkyries for the next 3 years.
Timberlynn Yeast Timberlynn Yeast 5'8" | SF Mercer County | 2023 State KY , Mercer County – One of the top scorers in central Kentucky, Yeast has offers and interest from all over and is likely to stay one of the best prospects in the class for years to come.
Destiny Thomas Destiny Thomas 5'10" | SF McCracken County | 2023 State KY , McCracken County – Destiny has great size and is a good athlete. She can score the ball in bunches and will be one of the best players in the first region for the foreseeable future.
Xaviara Smalley Xaviara Smalley 6'3" | C Bethlehem | 2023 State KY ,Bethlehem – The first true post player on the list, Smalley missed half her Freshman season after a transfer from Elizabethtown but has an offer from Cincinnati and plenty of other schools keeping tabs on her.
Brianna Byars Brianna Byars 5'11" | PF George Rogers Clark | 2023 State KY , George Rogers Clark – Another good post player, Byars has the look of a future D1 player and college coaches are circling her already. She can do a little bit of everything and will be a top 10th region player as a Sophomore.
Jakayla Thompson Jakayla Thompson 5'9" | CG DuPont Manual | 2023 State KY , DuPont Manual – Manual is set up for long term success and Thompson is a big part of that bright future. Her stats won’t overwhelm because her team is so deep but Jakayla has a chance to be a top player in Louisville in 2023.
Whitney Lind Whitney Lind 6'1" | PF Cooper | 2023 State KY , Cooper – The best young player in Northern Kentucky, Lind led Cooper in about every category last season and can help the Lady Jags make a run at a 9th region title eventually.
Macy Runner Macy Runner 5'6" | PG Nelson County | 2023 State KY , Nelson County – One of the first 2023s to get a D1 offer (from Western Kentucky), Macy is a really good scorer and all around talent who is one of the best players in a loaded 5th region.
Abby Holtman Abby Holtman 5'11" | SF Ryle | 2023 State KY , Ryle – Perhaps the next great Ryle Lady Raider, Holtman can score the ball well and has a lot of upside as a prospect. Her role should increase after Ryle graduated Miss Basketball. Abby has a chance to put up big scoring numbers this season.
