Four 2023s Most Likely to Receive Their First D1 Offer
In this article:
The 2023 Class in Kentucky is off to a strong start. A bunch of players have already earned D1 offers but more should follow. This class appears to be LOADED. Here’s the players I think are most likely to find themselves with a D1 offer soon. The list is based off of checking social media. If they have offers and didn’t report them, there’s no way for me to know.
Clara Collins, South Laurel – Collins should be a big part of the South Laurel offense this season. She has good positional size and can shoot the ball or put it on the floor. Playing as part of a talented front line for the Lady Cards, Coach Souder should be able to help her attract several D1 schools over the course of the year. Looking ahead to her 16U AAU season, Collins should impress coaches with her floor stretching ability from the 4 spot.
Taylor Guess Taylor Guess 5'9" | CG Crittenden County | 2023 State KY , Crittenden County – One of the best players in Kentucky that no one talks about, Guess is from tiny Crittenden County in far west Kentucky. She’s a scoring machine who is already among the most valuable players in the class to her high school team. With her ability to score the ball at all 3 levels, expect Taylor to rack up several offers in the next few years but they will predominantly come through AAU as opposed to high school.
Sydne Tolbert Sydne Tolbert 5'6" | CG DuPont Manual | 2023 State KY , DuPont Manual – Tolbert doesn’t get a ton of individual shine because her high school team is so loaded with talent but she’s a talented guard who can play on or off the ball. With the talented nucleus, she has learned how to be a more complete player and that shines as well when she plays on the Girls EYBL during the AAU season.
Meadow Tisdale Meadow Tisdale 5'10" | PF Bowling Green | 2023 State KY , Bowling Green – Tisdale is a well rounded player who does a lot of her damage around the rim but continues to improve her overall skill set and perimeter scoring. One of the best things about Meadow as a recruit is that she has a relentless motor and is an excellent rebounder which are both things that coach’s covet. Look for her to eventually have multiple D1 suitors.
Kensley Feltner Kensley Feltner 5'9" | SF Lawrence County | 2023 State KY , Lawrence County – Kensley is one of the top overall scorers in the state and she’s just getting started in her high school career. She reminds me of Mace Blevins in the way she does so much for her team and is a big time shooter. When she’s allowed to play around other top talent, look for Fletner to impress coaches in the same ways the Blevins did on her way to becoming a mid major D1 recruit.
