Continue ReadingThe 2025 class is already halfway through their 16u season of AAU and only a few months away from being in their Junior years of high school. Recruiting is starting to heat up for several players and as we head into the summer, there’s a lot to be on the lookout for with this rising Junior class.
The Johnson/Macy/Byars Debate:
There has long been a debate about who the best player in the class is. For years now, Zakiyah Johnson and Leah Macy Leah Macy 6'3" | PF Bethlehem | 2025 State KY have been at the top of the class. You can prefer one over the other but there was universal agreement that those two were at the top. Suddenly, Ciara Byars Ciara Byars 6'2" | CG George Rogers Clark | 2025 State KY has entered the discussion. Regardless of who you prefer at the top of the class, these 3 ladies could be the best three players to come through Kentucky in the same class.
Is this the best class we’ve seen in a while?
The often overlooked thing in Kentucky basketball is that the girls side has more D1 players than the boys side nearly every single year. But this 2025 class is deep with talent and very special, top to bottom. Halle Collins Halle Collins 5'11" | SF Knox Central | 2025 State KY , Peyton Bradley Peyton Bradley 5'9" | CG Meade County | 2025 State KY , Grace Mbugua Grace Mbugua 6'4" | PF Danville Christian | 2025 State KY , Marissa Green Marissa Green 6'3" | C Highlands | 2025 State KY , Skylar Waller Skylar Waller 5'7" | PG Marshall County | 2025 State KY , Brooke Nichelson Brooke Nichelson 5'10" | CG North Laurel | 2025 State KY , Savannah Jarvis Savannah Jarvis 6'0" | SG Lafayette | 2025 State KY and others could be the top player in a lot of Kentucky’s classes. There is just a ridiculous amount of depth in this class.
Will anyone new crack the top ten?
Keeping our theme of overall class depth going, there are players all through the top 20+ who could have big summers and rise up the ranks. Names like Alyssa Murphy Alyssa Murphy 5'5" | PG Corydon Central | 2025 State IN , Grace Bale Grace Bale 5'7" | SG Taylor County | 2025 State KY , Niah Rhodes Niah Rhodes 5'7" | CG Frederick Douglass | 2025 State KY and Sophia Gibson Sophia Gibson 6'4" | C Notre Dame Academy | 2025 State KY all possess the potential to move way up the rankings and into the top ten this summer.
