=>Kentucky Preps Top 30 Juniors. Top 10 listed:

Talk about it in the Message Boards
Yesterday we took a look at the top 30 seniors in the state. Today we shift our focus to the junior class, which is loaded with talent. Here is the top 30.
1. Aaron Cosby - Jeffersontown
Due to his great play over the summer, Cosby solidified himself as the best propect in this class. He should come in and fill the void left by Nick Gagel. Cosby has offers from several big time college programs including Minnesota, Indiana and Oklahoma State.
2. Ge'lawn Guyn - Scott County
Guyn is one of the most athletic players in the state. He is a slasher who can get to the rim and use his 40 inch vertical to shoot over defenders. He is receiving interest from Kentucky, Penn St., Wake Forest, Xavier, Western Kentucky and Dartmouth. Guyn will team up with Chad Jackson to form one of the best back courts in the state.
3. Chad Jackson - Scott County
At 6-foot-4, Jackson can play either guard position. He can handle the ball well and he can shoot well. Jackson will play at a high level Division I program. He lists Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, North Carolina, West Virginia and Xavier.
4. Dakotah Euton - Scott County
Euton will team up with Richie Phares to form one of the best front courts in the state. At 6-8, Euton can play inside or on the perimeter. He has committed to play college ball for the University of Kentucky.
5. Ricardo Johnson - Covington Holmes
Johnson had an outstanding sophomore season, averaging 11.1 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, all while helping lead Holmes to the KHSAA Sweet 16 championship game against Mason County and making the All Tournament team. Johnson has serious athletic ability and several colleges have taken notice. Georgtown, Indiana, Kentucky, Xavier and Eastern Kentucky have shown interest.
6.Josh Sewell - Trinity
Sewell is a big, strong, physical player. He can penetrate and get to the basket and he can also step out and knock down the outside jumper.
7. Shaquille Wilson - Christian County
Wilson is a very talented wing player. Wilson can get to the basket whenever he wants and score in bunches. He definitely has Division I potential and he will be one of the best players in Region 2 this season.
8. Donavan Gibbs - Iroquois
At 6-7, Gibbs is a very nice prospect. He is getting a lot of Division I looks, including South Carolina, Minnesota, Xavier and Akron.
9. Elijah Pittman - Covington Holmes
Pittman came out of nowhere in the KHSAA Sweet 16. He came in unknown and emerged as one of the top prospects in the state. He scored 10 in Holmes first round win against Bardstown, 19 points in Holmes second round win against Paintsville, 15 points against Lexington Catholic and 12 points against Mason County. All this from a kid who averaged less than six points per game all season.
10. Josh Whittaker - Hazard

=>Various updates:
| Quote: | Waterford High School big man D.J. Cunningham (6-9, 250) from the 2009 class is still looking for a college home. He has to be on Ohios radar at this point.
- One player Ohio does not seem to be looking at is Middletowns Bill Edwards (6-5, 240). According to his All-Ohio Force AAU coach Gregg Brown, Edwards recently picked up an offer from Penn State, but is being advised by his parents to sit on it and wait for a better offer. Edwards, though, is running out of options at this point, and it doesnt look like being a Bobcat is one of those options.
- In case you missed it: 2009 Illinois hoops prospect Conrad Krutwig (6-6, 210) committed to South Dakota State in late October. Krutwig had interest but no offer from Ohio.
- Sticking with hoops, 2010 swing player Josh Sewell out of Trinity High School in Louisville, Kentucky, appears to be on the bobkittens radar. Sewell picked up an offer from Ohio in mid-July and recently took an unofficial visit to Athens a few weeks ago. I really enjoyed my visit, Sewell said Sunday. They have a really good coaching staff, and that's a place where I could possibly mature as a player right away.
- Sewell has eight offers to his name right now (Akron, Bradley, Western Kentucky, Marshall, Miami (FL), Wright State and Virginia Commonwealth). Sewell is hearing from bigger schools as well, but he said he doesnt have a top list right now and appears to be nowhere close to a decision. He did note that his home state school Kentucky isnt recruiting him hard, but he frequently goes up to Wildcats games.
- It appears Sewell is going to wait it out and hope to land a big time offer. |

Sewell has nine offers
Trinity High School junior guard Josh Sewell has become one of the hottest commodities in the area in recent weeks, picking up a number of scholarship offers.
The 6-foot-5 Sewell added an offer from Akron earlier in the week and coach Mike Szabo said he's now been offered by Middle Tennessee State.
Sewell now has nine total offers.
He's also been offered by Ohio U., Miami (Ohio), Wright State, Western Kentucky, Bradley, Marshall and Virginia Commonwealth. |

=>C-J Reporter Jody Demling comes up with his own KY 2010 Rankings:
| Quote: | Thursday, December 11, 2008
Class of 2010 rankings
It's the class everybody has been talking about for a number of years in the state of Kentucky - the Class of 2010. There is plenty of talent in the group.
In fact, there's so much talent it's hard to rank them.
In doing these rankings, I had four different players in the top spot and had to settle on somebody. I have seen the top 15 players on my list dozens of time.
But that still didn't make it easier.
Here are my rankings:
1. Ge'Lawn Guyn (left), Scott County, 6-2: A big-time scorer who can run the show. He's talented, has the swagger and the colleges are coming at him in droves.
2. Ricardo Johnson (right), Covington Holmes, 6-4: Johnson showed his stuff last year at the Sweet 16 and only got better over the course of the summer.
3. Dakotah Euton, Scott County, 6-8: Expect him to average a double-double with his new team; Euton can shoot it from anywhere on the floor.
4. Aaron Cosby, Jeffersontown, 6-2: He's been ranked by some as No. 1 overall and might be, but I want to see him playing high school again. He's so talented that he'll likely move up when he becomes eligible after his transfer.
5. Chad Jackson, Scott County, 6-4: Still needs to work on his point guard skills, but he's so athletic and talented.
6. Josh Sewell, Trinity, 6-5: He's just learning what he can do with his athleticism and is getting better every time on the floor.
7. Elijah Pittman, Covington Holmes, 6-6: Pittman is a freak athlete and can score at will.
8. Donovan Gibbs, Iroquois, 6-7.
9. Shaquille Wilson, Christian County, 6-4.
10. Elisha Justice, Shelby Valley, 5-10.
11. Aaron Watts, McCreary Central, 6-2.
12. Cody Miller, Knox Central, 6-5.
13. Josh Whitaker, Hazard, 6-0.
14. Thomas Jackson, Jeffersontown, 5-11.
15. Ian Chiles, Ballard, 5-11.
Sleeper: There are so many juniors in the Louisville area that have a chance to make it in Division I that I thought I would give you a few that are really close to the top 15. Seneca has Deonte Maddox (6-1) and Zach McElwain (6-2), Male has Kevin Glenn (6-1), Southern has Chris Richard (6-4), Waggener has Jomari Bradshaw (6-4) and Eastern has Delquan Thomas (6-1). It's one of the deeper classes I can remember with the Louisville schools. |

=>Josh Sewell and Vee Sanford notes from Lexington Catholic Tournament:
| Quote: | The day after Xmas
All the gifts have been opened and so it's time for the basketball season to get back into the swing of things. And that's what happened today.
I didn't make it to Lexington Catholic today but it must have been a great day. Here are some highlights and the schedule for tomorrow.
The photo is of Jacob Jenkins, who was back for Manual
***
· Trinity rallied from 19 points down in the first half to beat Boone County 73-68 as junior Josh Sewell led the Shamrocks with 21 points, seven rebounds and four steals. Boone County's Steven McFarland had 14 points, eight assists and seven rebounds.
***
· Miles Mitchell had 23 points, while star Jacob Jenkins was back from a foot injury and went for six points and five assists as Manual downed Adair County 66-56. Darren Ballou had 23 points and seven rebounds for Adair County.
· Lexington Catholic senior Vee Sanford went for 21 points on a bum knee as the Knights downed Newport Central Catholic 58-51. |

More from LexCath tournament
My final day of hoops for a little while. I am headed to Memphis tomorrow and am assigned to cover the Kentucky football team during bowl week.
Actually, will see some hoops down there but locally took in the LexCath event today.
Check the update below for the early games and here's a few nuggets from the rest:
· With Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie and Nebraska coach Doc Sadler watching, Lexington Catholic's Vee Sanford (photo) only played the second half. He's been suffering from a knee injury. Sanford did have 17 points and hit 7 of 11 from the field in 12 minutes. He also had four rebounds.
***
· Robert Hatton scored 25 points and Corey Rogers connected on a late three-point play as Clark County survived a Trinity comeback to post a 68-64 victory. The Cardinals led by as much as 17 points but still had to hang on. Rogers finished with 22 points, while Robby Stenzel added 12 points, six rebounds and four assists. Vinny Zollo had seven points and six rebounds and was held scoreless in the second half. Josh Sewell had 19 points and eight rebounds for Trinity, which hit 7 of 32 field goals in the first half.
***
· Manual star Jacob Jenkins played 20 minutes and hit 5 of 12 from the field for 13 points. Jenkins is getting back into form after being sidelined with a foot injury. He should be at 100 percent before the LIT starts on Jan. 12.

Some people questioned how I can rank the young classes. Well Im the individual who invited all the Kentucky kids to the JR All Americans Camps the last two years. I also attend all the state AAU tournaments, young and old. I try my hardest to see all the kids play that I can. I also have help from some real respected basketball people around the state that help me.
After evaluating Kentucky kids on the summer AAU circuit and elite camps I felt it was time to adjust my rankings for the upcoming 2008/2009 Kentucky preps season. I m very excited about the young talent in Kentucky. With the one exception of the 2009 class, all the other classes or loaded with potential division 1 talent. It will be hard for anyone to overtake Jon Hood for the Mr. Basketball honors. Hes the best player and hes going to Kentucky, enough said. The 2009 class maybe locked, but the 2010 class will be a beauty to watch. There are legitimately 6 guys that can take home the honor and it doesnt get any easier in 2011 or 2012.
2009 Class
As most people realize the 2009 class is not as near talented as the 2008, but it still has its share of talent starting with future UK Wildcat Jon Hood.
***
Vee Sanford (Lexington Catholic High, Lexington): Out of everybody in this class Vee might have the highest upside. He is a 63 point guard with a high motor, great athletic ability and a clutch jump shooter. With all the stars on Lexington Catholic last year in many games he was their best player on the floor. Vee has great genes with his dad being a high school All-American with offers from UK and Georgia Tech back in the day. With all his talent when Vee really learns the game the skys the limit. Update: This kid made the biggest leap for me this summer. Even though he didnt play a lot of AAU, when he did his impact was felt. Watching his work ethic Vee can make a lot of noise this season at Catholic. There is no reason he cant be this years Shelvin Mack.
Jacob Jenkins (DuPont Manuel High, Louisville): Jacob has impressed me this spring with his ability score in volumes. Jacob has some great offers out there and for whatever school he signs with he will help their offense immensely. If Jacob works on his defense and playmaking more his stock definitely has a chance to rise. With so much pressure to be the man at Manuel High School this year I hope he gets the chance to round out his game. If that happens Jacob may have a shot to make a hard run for Mr. Basketball. Update: Jacob impressed me over the summer with his scoring. He still has some work to do on the complete game. With him being the competitor he is, by the end of his senior year Jacob will have made some real noise.
CJ Penny (Anderson County High, Lawrenceville): CJ is a very good wing forward. He doesnt have many weaknesses in his game. After watching him play numerous times this spring CJ is player that will never hurt is team. He has a great feel and knowledge for the game. He has the ability to be an immediate impact on any mid major he signs with. Update: CJ is going to be CJ. His game is going to stay steady and you can see he works on it every day. You watch him play he doesnt jump out at you but at the end of the game hes giving you 16pts, 6rbs, 3ass and 3stls
Richie Phares (Scott County High, Georgetown): Richie is hands down the most polished postman in the state this year. Around the basket he scores with both hands and is unstoppable. This past year he has added good range to his game and his passing ability has picked up. Richie probably will wind up at a high mid major, but if a big conference second tier team took a chance on this 67 power forward I feel before its all said and done he would be a great asset to the team. Update: I wish I could say the same thing about Richie that I said about Jon. I hate to say it but it look like Richie has gotten content with his game. I know he had some major distractions this summer, but the kid has way too much talent to play the way he played. I tell people its real important when you choose an AAU team. Richie should have never played for the Derek Smith All Stars. They never showcased his talents. All in all as skilled as Richie is, he should have had way more looks throughout the summer. With all this being said he is still one of the top five seniors in the state and has a chance to redeem himself this season.

2010 Class
The 2010 class maybe the deepest class in Kentucky history. There are over 20 kids in this class that should play high major to mid major basketball in the future. We start at the top with a very talented guard from Covington Holmes, Ricardo Johnson. All in all, Im catching the most heat for this pick at number one. After the summer my choice hasnt changed. Although GeLawn and Aaron have closed that gap some.
Ricardo Johnson (Covington Holmes High, Covington): We have watched Ricardo play for the last two years but the rest of the state wasnt welcomed to Ricardo talents till his talent was put on the largest stage at the state championship in Rupp Arena. Ricardo was the catalyst for leading his team to the finals against Mason County. Even though Covington Holmes came up short it wasnt from lack of effort from Ricardo, who was a star in the game and made the all tournament team. Ricardo can do it all from the point guard, shooting guard or the wing position. This kid is definitely a high major talent. Update: Ricardo showed me his complete game this summer. He is the total package. At nationals I sat with two coaches from SEC powerhouses and they were both impressed by his play. The reality its up to Ricardo on what he wants to be. The main knock I do have on Ricardo is sometimes I think he doesnt realize that he is the best player on the floor and he lays back. With his body and skill this kid has if he goes on attack mode this year, dont be surprised to see Covington Holmes back where they were last year this time cutting down the net.
GeLawn Guyn (Scott County High, Georgetown): GeLawn is a 62 combo guard who does it all and leaves it all on the floor. On a team with 7 potential high and mid range D-1 prospects GeLawn maybe the best. This is a kid whose work ethic is beyond approach. The knock on him is that he doesnt have a true position, when you play as good and as hard as he does it doesnt matter. Gelawn is getting serious looks from Xavier, Wake Forest and Louisville. Update: Out of everybody in the 2010 class this summer GeLawn stood out the best to me. This kids intensity is unreal. He may be the beat perimeter defender Ive seen in KY in over ten years. The range on his jumper has gotten better and he steadily working on his ball handling and playmaking skills. Some high major schools or sleeping on him. Whoever takes this kid is getting a special player.
Aaron Cosby (Jeffersontown High, Jeffersontown): Aaron is your prototypal combo guard. He is 63 strong, quick and athletic. Aaron is a very consistent outside shooter, finishes hard around the basket while taking hard hits. What we really love about Aaron is he thinks the game, Aaron could lead the state in scoring but he wont because he lets the game come to him without forcing anything. With J-Town returning most the major players to their team adding Aaron really give them a chance to cut down the nets in Rupp this year. Aaron had verbally committed to University of Massachusetts, but when Travis Ford took the Oklahoma State job he opened up his recruitment. Now he has Minnesota, Louisville, Virginia, Tennessee and Oklahoma State courting his services. Update: Aaron by far is the most consistent player in this class. This kid is a stat stuffer. This summer he showed he can score on anybody in the country. His I.Q. is outstanding, when he jumpers not falling he attack the basket with force. He fell into the AAU trap also. An AAU team decision is very important when youre going to be showcasing your talent in front of many college coaches. If it wasnt for personal workouts Aaron stock could have definitely dropped.
***
Josh Sewell (Trinity, Louisville): I really like this kid. People knock him and say hes not a great ball handler or a great shooter. I saw this kid play many times. He a decent shooter, but he attacks the basket with his great body takes contact well. Plays with a great I.Q. and within himself. With tools he has and the way he works on his game this kid is a high mid major with a chance to move up.
***
Elijah Pittman (Covington Holmes, Covington): After watching this kid play over 20 times this summer. Im convinced he is the most talented player in the state. As we know talent doesnt make you the best. Theres times Elijah looks like a potential McDonalds All American, than theres times he looks like a JV player. Ive seen him take the ball off the rim, go coast to coast and dunk over a 69 player. I also saw him fade away on a player 6 inches shorter than him. If he decides to put it altogether, I would pick Covington Holmes to cut down the net. Thats a big if.

2011
The 2011 class took a hit with the departure of Tony Kimbro Jr but added a couple studs with the edition of UK recruit Vinny Zollo to Clark County High and sharpshooter Kevin Shaw to Seneca High. So look for the 2011 class to make a lot of noise in the state of Kentucky this year. What makes the 2011 class so unique is the dynamic duos on so many team. Just look at Clark County (Zollo, Stenzil), Warren Central (Fant, Shanklin), Seneca (Shaw, Shaw), Mason County (Gilbert, Setty), Tates Creek (Fucci, Barksdale) and Lexington Catholic (Beckham, Schuette) just to name a few. This lets me know the run for the state championship they next few years will definitely be interesting.

The 2012 class is in the process of making a statement on the national scene. This class should continue the success of the last two classes and keep building the state pride on high school basketball talent. The top three in the class could easily been ranked in any order. All three individuals have the potential to be a future McDonalds All-American.
Jaylen Beckham (Lexington Catholic High, Lexington): Jaylen maybe one of the best defensive players in his class nationally. After his showing at the Fab Freshman All-American Camp, he made a statement on the court that he definitely is one of the elite kids in the 2012 class. He has no problem getting to the rack on anybody. He finishes great with contact; his only knock is a consistent jump shot, which he works on daily. If I was to compare him to anybody at this stage, it would be Kentucky great Rajon Rondo.
Tamron Manning (Scott County High, Georgetown): Out of all the kids to come through Kentucky high school basketball powerhouse Scott County, Tamron has the potential to wind up the best. He has the tools to dominate his age group whenever he wants. He also has the privilege of guarding two high D-1 prospects in practice every day (GeLawn Guyn and Chad Jackson). Being one of the few 8th graders invited to the Tennessee Elite Camp, Tamron stood out with some kids much older than him. He prides himself on the defensive end. He works extremely hard, which is a tribute to the program Coach Hicks in building down Scott County.
Desmond Dorsey (J-Town High, Jeffersontown): Desmond is probably the smoothest player in this class. He can play the one, two or the three. His game is so cool; he is never in a rush and has great composure. He has been making noise in Louisville since his elementary days. If you put Desmond on the court with grown men you wouldnt know he was an 8th grader on the floor. If he continues to work as hard as hes been working, when its all said and done we should be mentioning his name with some of the Louisville greats.
Isaiah Ivey (Scott County High, Georgetown): Isaiah transferred to Scott County, which in the long run will be an asset to his game. At 80% of the schools in the state Isaiah would be a varsity starter at Scott County hell play some JV. Around the state a lot of people wont get a chance to see how good he is. Believe me this smooth left hander has game. He has the all-around game and can play the one or the two. He plays very good defense and has a very smooth jumper.
Chris Harrison (Trinity High, Louisville): Chris comes from good jeans, his father was a high school legend and is a former UK basketball player. He is a little undersized but has good bounce in his game. He has good quickness and a nice jump shot with his game. Once he gets a lot of the flash out of his game and more substance he will be a force to reckon with in KY the next 4 years.

Ive been scouting for over 10 years, so I dont want to over evaluate these younger kids or add extra pressure to them. So while ranking the 2013 and 2014 class, I just went by the kids I have seen play and the potential I see in them at this age. By no means should any kid be discouraged by their ranking or by not being rank at all. I want you to realize in 7th and 8th grade Michael Jordan and Derrick Rose weren't ranked. Derrick said he made it a point that when he went up against a kid he saw ranked that he made sure he put his best effort forward and then some. So note, for you kids ranked watch your back, every time you step on the court somebody will be coming after your spot. So, congratulations to the kids that made the rankings; and to the kids that didn't: keep working hard and you'll have a chance to earn a spot when we see you play next. Update: As I stated earlier this summer you can see my rankings for the 2013 and 2014 classes have definitely changed. We are not done, we know their or more young kids in the state we need to see and believe me sooner or later we will see them.

Monday morning nuggets
A big weekend of hoops is over and now we're set for a huge week of hoops. Later this morning, I will be posting an LIT preview.
There are some talented prospects in the LIT that starts tonight at Bellarmine University.
But for now, here are some leftovers from the weekend:
* I had a chance to watch Scott County's 71-64 win over Mason County in person and it was a dandy. Richie Phares had 22 points and 10 rebounds, while Chad Jackson (photo) added 19 points and Ge-Lawn Guyn scored 13. Dakotah Euton had an off-night shooting (2-for-11) but finished with five points and 12 rebounds.
***
* And then on Saturday, I caught a few games at the Kentucky Prep Classic in the awesome gym at Montgomery County (loved the place!). The best game I saw was Elliott County's comeback win against Anderson County in overtime. C.J. Penny had 31 points for Anderson County, while Timmy Knipp led Elliott County with 21.
***
* With senior star Vee Sanford sidelined with an injury, freshman Jaylen Beckham led Lexington Catholic with 21 points in a 77-68 overtime loss to Beech (Tenn.). |

******
| Quote: | Final Saturday thoughts
It's been a long day but here are some final thoughts on a day filled with hoops.
Oh, and for the record it's only getting started. Remember, the boys' LIT starts on Monday!
***
* Anderson County senior C.J. Penny had a sensational game, racking up 31 points and eight rebounds in a losing cause. That was as good as I've seen Penny play.
***
* For the record, Covington Holmes juniors Ricardo Johnson and Elijah Pittman were expected to make unofficial visits to Kentucky for the Vanderbilt game on Saturday. I assume both of the top juniors were at Rupp Arena. |

Top peformances from Friday night
Michael Johnston
KentuckyPreps.com Staff Writer
Many of the states top prospects were in action over the weekend. Here are some of the top performances, including Jeffersontown's Aaron Cosby, who helped lead the Chargers to a big win over previously unbeaten Eastern.
Cosby wasn't the only standout for Jeffersontown. Point guard Richard Kennedy scored 21 points for the Chargers. He filled in nicely for Thomas Jackson, who was out with an ankle injury.
***
C.J. Penny scored 21 points, as Anderson County knocked off Oldham County 55-36.
Richie Phares scored 22 points and Chad Jackson pitched in with 19 points, as Scott County knocked off Mason County 71-64. Russ Middleton led Mason County with 31 points.
***
Ballard rolled past Trinity 76-49. Ian Chiles led the Bruins with with 17 points and point guard Wesley Cox pitched in with 13 points. Josh Sewell led Trinity with 18 points |

=>Updates from LIT tourney on Phares, Sewell, Guyn, Sanford, and C.J. Penny:
| Quote: | Saturday, January 17, 2009
A rough Friday night
It was a tough night on press row at the Louisville Invitational Tournament at Bellarmine, but here are some nuggets from the quarterfinals and other games around the state.
And yes, for the record the tough part was me taking two hits.
In almost 19 years of covering sports, I've never had a player in any sport literally run over me. It happened twice tonight as players were flying all over the scorer's table. I'm happy to report my body is in one piece, but the laptop will need a few repairs!
***
* Trinity junior Josh Sewell has really come into his own this season and is playing great. Freshman Chris Harrison is solid at the point and senior Melvyn Little - despite the charge I drew on him - had the best game I've seen him ever have against J'town.
***
* The stars put up some numbers tonight for Scott County in an 87-60 blowout of Bryan Station. Richie Phares had 25 points and eight rebounds, Ge-Lawn Guyn scored 21 points and Dakotah Euton added 19 points and 12 rebounds. Chad Jackson also tacked on 10 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and four steals.
* Vee Sanford scored 22 points and Taylor Botkin and Jaylen Beckham added 15 points apiece as Lexington Catholic edged Mason County 64-61 in overtime. Treg Setty had 29 points to lead Mason County.
***
* C.J. Penny scored 26 points as Anderson County downed Owen County 67-49. |
