Every summer, like clockwork, there are a handful of high school basketball players that see their stock spike, resulting in a jump in the recruiting rankings and a plethora of scholarship offers.
This year, one of those players is coming right out of Bardstown, KY.
JJ Traynor, a 6-foot-8 power forward at Bardstown High School, came into the summer as an unranked prospect. As early as last week, his 247Sports recruiting profile showed nothing more than a name, picture, height, weight, and hometown. In fact, he still doesn’t even have a recruiting profile on ESPN or Rivals.
