Should schools be required to report Statistics to the KHSAA
Carpe15 replied to theguru's topic in KY Football (High School)
There is a KHSAA rule that says schools have to report stats. If they don't there is a punishment off the top of my head i can't remember what is, but it is something significant. However, this year the rule is changing a bit now schools are required to submit stats to maxpreps. As a coach on a small staff it is difficult to find time to be able to report them, if your a school with a large staff its not big deal. Also, the reasoning behind it is for players recruitment. When college staffs search a kid to look for his stats they are more likely to start with his state association website to find his school, because that is the most trustworthy place for stats. Recruiting websites and hudl, for the most part let the players put in their stats, so they are more likely inflated. A college coach will trust the state association website is closest to actual numbers for a player -
I've know of 1 assistant that has experience at a 2 successful Louisville area schools, Manual was one and Waggener most recently, has applied. No word on if he got an interview though

This was the point I was trying make. Clearly I wasn't doing a very good job. It is a part of the process.

His senior season was worse cause he only played 7 games. Yes camps also play a big part because that is where scouts for rivals, 247 and others rate players. But he got noticed originally because of his ridiculous stats and then his camp performance solidified his offers. I'm not saying losing the award dooms a kid. I'm simply saying being up for the award or winning it can boost recruiting.

I do too. So you think coaches sit down with a book of all 1 million players and evaluate them to find who they want?
-
Pretty sure he was up for Mr. Football, I know he got hurt, he was also on of the states leading rushers his JR year, he ran for over 2,600 yards.

Not Necessarily. They will then look at their stats and see which kids made it over him. They still evaluate mainly from watching video but the awards get the kids name in front of the coaches. There is over 1 million high school football players in the country. It is not easy for coaches to find every single one that is talented enough to play in college. Any award list or ranking that can narrow their search is where they will start

The coaches absolutely care about stats and accolades. If you don't have productive stats and are not mentioned in any of the local awards why would a college coach think you would be successful against college competition. I worked in a D1 recruiting office and part of my job was gather stats from recruits on their board every week of their season. The days of if your good enough coaches will find you are over, you have to go and sell your ability to play or get your name out their in the media. That is how coaches find kids to evaluate. They do not just sit at a computer and search football highlights and watch every tape that pops up. They are directed to kids through these awards and websites.

That is true for recruiting hotbeds like Florida and Texas, but Ky is not a highly recruited area traditionally so players from Ky are generally always on the bubble with a couple exceptions each year. I do agree that they focus more on measurables, but for our state specifically MrF can definitely make a difference
-
This award can be very beneficial in recruiting to whoever receives it, because it gets their name out there and can be the selling point to get a kid from a preferred walk-on to scholarship player. So waiting this long when most other states have already announced their Mr. Football can potentially hold up a players recruitment.

Waggener's Jairus Brents ran a 4.33 at Ohio State today.

Was actually laser timed, as said earlier in post -
Was a very good game to see. Waggener played well and proved they are going to be a team to be reckoned with. By the way #27 is the back up running back for Waggener they're starter, usually #1, was injured Thursday night
