Our single biggest mover in this update, Riley Mollette Riley Mollette 6'4" | PF Model | 2026 State KY goes from 139th to 60th and could continue climbing. Riley plays at a very small school but he has potential to be a scholarship level player as his game continues developing. Being at Model, Riley will need to have big AAU seasons to get his name out in front of coaches over the next two summers. Keep an eye on him to be a top small school player in Central Kentucky next year.
