@coachbrucepearl
has found himself a gem!
Howard Fleming, out of Male High School, is seeing significant action early in his career for Illinois State. The 6β5ββ point guard has shown his skills creating for others and getting to the rim. He will be one to watch for as this season continues and throughout his career.
Wow! What an awesome day at the first annual Kentuckiana Hoops Exposure Camp! So many recruitable players in the gym for all levels. Multiple college coaches in attendance! Look forward to making this a yearly tradition.
(Shoutout to
@Coach_ACSparrow

A few under recruited Louisville area Bigs/Wings are Noah Courtney from Male, Terrence McDaniels and Rashad Bishop from Ballard, and Chez Moore from Louisville Collegiate. Coaches need to get on these guys before itβs too late. DM for contact infoβΌοΈβΌοΈ
The former Male guard, Hunter McCutcheon (
@HunterMcbuckets
), who originally was in the 2019 class but is now at Fairdale has been ruled eligible and will finish the season out for the Fairdale Bulldogs.
Our number one prospect in the class of 2023 has the most potential out of anyone in the state, if he continues to grow and develop this Kaleb Glenn (
@ka1ebglenn
) will be special.
Today is the day for Kentucky High School Basketball!

First High School Girls Exposure Campβ
Great turnout today. These girls came and competed! The amount of talent in this picture is crazy.
Write-ups will be coming out throughout the week!
Another great camp in the books!
So much hidden talent in these pictures. The mountains PRODUCE!
Thank you to the everyone who helped make this event happen, the college coaches who attended, and other media outlets for bringing attention to the players! π΅βͺοΈ
6β5 Cayden Lancaster with the big dunk in transition! College coaches have been taking notice of his play.
Could this be a dunk of the year candidate?
2025 guard Eli Finley had a nice showing this afternoon in both games I watched. Great mid range pull-up. Got up and flushed a couple dunks. Polished overall game. D1βs need to have him on their radar.
Freshmen Kaleb Glenn showing why he is our pre-season number 1 player in his class. 25 points 10 rebounds in his first game for the Male Bulldogs.

Has announced he is transferring from Louisville Eastern to Louisville Prep Academy. This is a big time pickup for Louisville Prep as Spalding is a guard with multiple Division One offers.

@suppaspalding
The Male Bulldogs boys basketball team went undefeated all summer long and ended the summer ball season with winning the Collins/Shelby County NCAA sanctioned event. Male is easily one of the most talented teams in the state.

@MaleBulldogs
2023 6β5 Malik Jefferson is going to be a STEAL! He is going to make a college program better than it was. D2/D3/NAIA schools should be contacting and offering this guy! Attacked the rim and threw it down multiple times. Made shots throughout the day. Rebounded well.
Saw a lot of good basketball today
BUT,
The best thing I saw today was walking into the Shelbyville Zaxbys and seeing Tom Izzo just hanging out grabbing a quick bite to eat. Down to earth genuine guy that doesnβt feel above anything
6β8 2021 Darrius Washington (
@DarriusWashin10
) had a very good weekend playing with D1 Indiana. Helped them in going 4-0 and winning the entire G3 Invitational Tournament.
Opening day of games for KHSAA Mensβ basketball is November 29th, here are a few matchups I like for night 1 of the season.
DeSales at Trinity
E-Town at Western
Bowling Green at Henderson County
Butler County at Russellville
Any more recommendations, comment below!
The 7th region is home to the top two teams in the state although only one will be able to make it out. After Ballard and Male the 7th region is kind of a toss up. Expect the 7th region to compete for the All A state title along with the big one.

Elite Camp today! The facilities they have are beyond impressive. Excited for whats to come for the Screaming Eagles program as they enter into their first season in the OVC.
2020 Male HS Guard Howard Fleming (
@HowardFleming23
) picked up an in state offer from Northern Kentucky University. Many coaches have been stopping by Male's gym to check him out. Howard is looking to lead Male to make a far run at Rupp this season.

Former North Oldham star and Auburn Eagle is headed to Knoxville, TN to play for Rick Barnes and the Volunteers. Expect him to contribute immediately and compete against the best in the SEC.

@MakerBar1
just recieved his first offer from
@WKUBasketball
.
They are the first to offer this super talented player. Expect him to blow up in the next couple of months. He will have a large choice of schools to decide between when itβs all said and done.
@FOCUS_Bball
Whoβs excited for the fifth episode of the Kentuckiana Hoops Podcast dropping tomorrow at 10 AM. In this episode we talked with
@TimHaworth13
who coaches
@MaleHighBBall
about his program and about this past season where they had the unainmous number one team in the state.
The Jarrard twins out of Mt. Vernon High School (IN) have decided to stay home and play at IUPUI for Coach Crenshaw & staff. Tweeted a couple months ago that this new staff will get the program up and running, itβs only a matter of time. Watch out for the Jaguars! Congrats Twins!
2023 Damarion Walkup with the block leading to the breakaway dunk! Big time play.
Could this be a dunk of the year candidate? Possibly play of the year?
Former North Bullitt guard TJ Toney has been ruled eligible for Fern Creek. This is a BIGTIME addition to a Tigers squad who is trying to repeat as 6th Region champions.
Board of Control accepts a motion to leave the basketball start of season schedule as adopted in November with practice starting the week of Dec. 14 and competition to begin the week of Jan. 4.

We have our bracket filled out and a blank one for you all to fill out. Respond in the comments with your picks, upsets to watch for, and matchups you are looking forward to.
2025 Tre Singleton (
@TreSingleton_
) is a beast on the glass. Big fan of his style of play. A true competitor. Uses his strength and athleticism to his advantage. Really good around the rim with ability to step out and hit 15 footers. Expect a him too have a breakout season. π
Lewis Richards of Ballard High School is a solid Point Guard. One of the most slept on players in the 2020 class in Kentucky. Finished well at the rim, played under control against a very aggressive John Hardin squad, and made shots all nights. He will be the leader this season.
Bellarmine Basketball commit Ben Johnson of Lexington Catholic made a STRONG statement today to win Kentucky Mr. Basketball.
Bellarmine is getting a really good player. He will be fun to watch in the ASUN conference.

2022 James Jewell has committed to Chipola CC! Chipola is tabbed as one of the top JUCOβs in the country and just got a steal within James. He will be a MM+ guy after a year or two spent at the juco level.
Congrats!
Want to give a big shoutout to
@ChrisGaither3
for putting on the best summer event in KY. There is no other event that even compares. What he has done for KY basketball is awesome! His event has helped out so many players over the last 3 years. It keeps getting better and better!
After correcting a previous mistake, Our 8th Region pre-season awards.
The 8th region is headlines by several seniors who have already committed to division one schools.
Today is the day for everyone in Kentucky thatβs been waiting on a basketball season! Games start today! We wish everyone a successful, injury free, and safe season!
2023 Kaleb Glenn has made his commitment to the University of Louisville! The Cards just grabbed one of the top players to come out of Louisville in awhile as well with one of the best players in the country!
Congrats Kaleb!
Some of Kentuckyβs top 2023 boys baskegball players being recognized by ESPN. Congrats to these four athletes! Their hard work is paying off and being acknowledged by the biggest sports platform in the world!

has received an offer from D2 Fairmont State University. This is his first offer, but will not be his last as he has grabbed a lot of interest from coaches all over from all divisions.
@StXBasketball

This Saturday from 10am-12pm we will be hosting a zoom call where we will have Scott Davenport, Jeremy Kipness, and Zach Settembre speak about their coaching journeys.
Join us Saturday to listen to these great coaches!
DM us for the zoom link!
Plenty of local β22 guys still without any scholarship offers. Some of these players still without an offer is shocking. D1/D2 caliber players without a doubt. Donβt overlook or skip the players in our area.. some of them can really play!!!
Brother duo Crew and Will Gibson are certified ballers that are dedicated to their craft. Both competed at USI Elite Camp yesterday then headed to The INVITE League in Louisville.. and balled in both! Basketball junkies! Both are gifted players that will play college ball.
Top 5 Free Throw % Leaders in Kentucky: 2/10/21

2021 Sekou Sada Kalle received a D1 offer from Eastern Kentucky University today. Sekou is a very skilled big man who plays very well around the rim.
@SadaKalle
@DeSalesHoops1
Beechwood guard Scotty Draud has joined the 3,000 point club. A pure scorer that is going to be a steal for a college program. Scotty is one of the better players in the state of KY!
2025 Zander Carter is SMOOTH. Has a polished game and great size for position. Pretty jump shot and I really like the way he plays at/above the rim.
WKU, Liberty, Texas A&M, Morehead State, IUPUI & more all in to watch him.
Without Justin Powell, North Oldham has had to rely heavily on their young core of Dallas Roberts, Rico Carr-Cole, and Ian Higdon, along with senior Tyler Higdon. North will be able to shock some people in the 8th region tournament and the future looks bright for the Mustangs.
