Unsigned Seniors Still on the Board (Part I)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kentucky's Class of 2026 has a lot of talent from top to bottom. While it may not receive the same level of notoriety as the historic Class of 2025 before it or the highly regarded Class of 2027 behind it, the college potential within this group is undeniable.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at some of the unsigned seniors who have yet to make their commitments at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["376763"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69ae0b909f048"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An athletic combo guard with big-time scoring ability, she also creates opportunities for her teammates and is a menace on the defensive end. She averaged a team-leading 17.8 points per game while adding five rebounds per contest. She helped lead Christian County to back-to-back 8th District Championships and surpassed the 2,000-point mark for her career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["376798"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69ae0b909f0aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Emma put together a strong senior season, finishing as Morgan County's second-leading scorer at 14.6 points per game while also averaging 7.6 rebounds. She played a key role in helping guide the Lady Cougars to their third 62nd District Championship in the past four years, while also reaching the milestone of 1,000 career rebounds. With her versatility, size, and length, Emma has the tools to make a smooth transition to the college level and could be a valuable addition for a program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1143408"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69ae0b909f0f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Miami has been a steady contributor off the bench for Frederick Douglass all season, averaging 5.3 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. The athletic forward brings good size and length to the floor. She rebounds well on both ends of the court, runs the floor effectively in transition, and finishes plays around the rim. Miami also makes her presence felt defensively, using her activity and length to be disruptive.

A pure point guard, Combs has a crafty handle and distributes the ball at a high level. She's the type of lead guard you trust with the ball in her hands to orchestrate the offense and make the right decisions. A high-character player with a team-first mentality, Combs provides the leadership and poise that programs value at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["376804"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69ae0b909f177"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anaya is a player I've watched closely over the years and have always been a fan of. A true two-way guard, she is a reliable threat from beyond the arc and a stifling perimeter defender who competes hard from start to finish every time she steps between the lines. After missing the end of her junior season and the entire AAU season due to injury, Anaya has returned this year and is averaging 4 points and 3 rebounds per game for a George Rogers Clark team that looks poised to make a run at the state championship. A “3-and-D” guard with a high basketball IQ, she could be a steal for a college program looking for a player who impacts winning.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
