The 2026 class is solid but there are a few players who are under the radar with colleges at this point in their careers. Here’s a look at a few rising Juniors who are worth a look for colleges this summer and fall.

CLASS 2026
State: Kentucky
School: Henry Clay
Club: Central Ky Basketball Club
Jackson had an up and down Sophom*ore season at Henry Clay and has been quiet in AAU thus far but has the potential to blow up in his Junior year for a Henry Clay team that will need him to be very productive. Stephan has the potential to be the leading scorer in all of the 11th region this upcoming season.

POS PG
CLASS 2026
State: Kentucky
School: Covington Catholic
Club: Wildcat Select 3SSB
Covington Catholic will be very reliant on their guards, starting this year. The backcourt of Cash Harney Cash Harney 5'9" | PG Covington Catholic | 2026 State KY and Athens McGillis Athens McGillis 5'10" | CG Covington Catholic | 2026 State KY will be one of the most formidable in NKY. Cash is a slasher and playmaker whose three point shooting continues to improve. One of the more skilled guards in the class, Harney could be the breakout star of the 9th region as a Junior.
HEIGHT 6'0"
POS PG
CLASS 2026
Miles is a very tough point guard who is capable of scoring big time numbers or facilitating for others. Woodfork suffers from the first region curse of being so far away from most of the folks who cover basketball in Kentucky that he can be overlooked but he definitely projects as a college player and his potential could take him as high as D1.

School: Ashland Blazer
Club: Grand Park Premier
Drew is having a big AAU season and after transferring from Boyd County to Ashland last week, he figures to put up more impressive numbers in the high school season. Smith should move out of the shadow of Jacob Spurlock Jacob Spurlock 6'3" | CG Boyd County | 2026 State KY and have a bigger role for the Tomcats than what he had at Boyd.

HEIGHT 6'7"
POS SF
CLASS 2026
State: Kentucky
School: Fredrick Douglass
Club: Ky Future Elite
I got eyes on Nate for the first time in a long time last week at Lexington Catholic and he looks like a scholarship level player all of a sudden. Coen is long and athletic and suddenly much less awkward and uncoordinated since it appears he may be done growing. Nate blocked or altered a dozen shots against Sayre and looks like he could help keep Douglass in the conversation in the 11th region this season.
