After the crazy Western Kentucky basketball recruiting season is completly finished, Coach Stansbury is already back on the recruiting trail, attempting to top his 2017 class.

When beginning to think of the 2018 class, a name to consider could be a local kid in Harrodsburg, Kentucky’s Trevon Faulkner, who the WKU coaching staff has had their eyes on recently.

They watched Faulkner at All In Hoopfest in late July after offering Faulkner in early May, which at the very least means Stansbury is very very much interested in him.

247Sports’ crystal ball prediction has Faulkner staying in state and becoming a Hilltopper.

In an interview with CBS Sports, Faulkner stated that Coach Stansbury has been texting him every day, that a Western visit is in his future, and said that he’s looking at each programs campus, coaches, players, and culture — then, stating that Western Kentucky has all of that.

Faulkner is a 6'4 point guard out of Mercer County High School, currently ranked as the third-best player in Kentucky and the 57th point guard in the 2018 class.

He currently holds five offers: Western Kentucky, Middle Tennessee State University, Northern Kentucky, Louisiana Lafayette, and Wright State.

Trevon Faulkner would be a great addition to the Hilltoppers already stacked guard system for years to come. While there are some guys he’d have to most likely sit behind, that’s okay. A year of learning and watching the game at the college level could only benefit his ability on the floor when the time comes.

What do you think? Will Trevon Faulkner be the first commit in the 2018 class? How do you think he could help the Tops if he did chose the Hill? Let us know in a comment below, on Twitter at @TheTowelRackWKU or on our Facebook page.
