Listed below is a brief review of Kentucky's Top 25 boys basketball players and teams after the 2009 summer AAU and team camp season closed going into the summer dead period . Please bare with us as we go forward with this new website . We will be updating our player evaluations and team rankings for all 16 regions thru our scouting staff and personal conatcts during September and October and posting the entire Commonwealth's 16 regions top players and teams on November 15th at 6:00 p.m. .

Until then please use the info below to wet your appetite . Also , you will notice as we go forward that this service does our player ratings by position and not overall , we feel as though each position has it's own personal skill set that can be valued in various ways to a team concept and those players can be evaluated in a more objective manner .

In closing it has been a passion of mine since my coaching days to provide the high school athletes of Kentucky as much coverage as possible and we hope that this website is another avenue of promoting and recognizing our athletes that devote so much of their time for the betterment of the sport that we all love so much .
