Great size, ran the floor well and can really score anywhere on the floor. Has a really good skill set for a player that will be a freshman next year. A true versatile player that you can match and take advantage of on any play. A really good player with a high upside!

a little over a month ago when I was talking about some incoming freshmen to watch. She is one of the best players in the state for the class of 2028. She is a great defender and an absolute playmaker on that side of the ball, forcing turnovers. Kennedi capitalizes off the turnovers she forces, getting a lot of easy transition points off of it. Kennedi is a talented scorer with a deadly mid-range game and, without a doubt, one of the premier players in the state for her class.

Kennedi Young is a player who argues for being the best player in the 2028 class in Virginia. Everything Kennedi does starts with her suffocating defense. Kennedi does a great job forcing turnovers with her length and anticipation. She gets easy buckets in transition from the turnovers she forces. She has a lovely jumper and gets many buckets using her mid-range. Kennedi’s game keeps improving, and I’m sure she will enter high school as a better player than she is today.

Complete do it all player that is getting better every time I see her! A versatile player that is a weapon on both ends of the floor. At 5’10 only in the 8th grade she can handle the ball, shoot and defend at a high level.
