I forgot about:

Jess Barton, PF, Vine Grove (4*)
Kobe Bishop, SF, Ballard (2*)
Marlin Coleman, SG, Covington Catholic (2*)
Nelly Philpot, PG, Apollo (3*)

They were in the class after Tito Campos on those guys. But they weren't as good and I forgot about them until I noticed Jess Barton as a top prospect in this class.

Nelly Philpot is also listed as a possible draftee in this particular class, but no idea if he'll get picked up in the 2nd round or will end up overseas someplace. He'll be the first case of a fence sitter that might go either way in our recent classes, so should be fun to watch his career.

If you recall, Philpot was part of the 1982 state title team at Apollo HS who knocked off Knott County Central and left the following year which earned him a scholarship to Louisville despite being a start only in his freshman and senior year's at AHS.

Now he's going pro and he'll be an interesting case as a three star recruit who managed to take himself from marginal prospect to possible NBA player.
