The list is about recruits. Who would be the better, higher rated, recruit? Meiners or Walker? I don't know. I don't know either of them. I am not saying either way. But, based on what rivals, scout and others have to say about their vitals (ie size, position, etc.), I am guessing, Meiners will be a more sought after recruit. Not saying that he is a better high school football player at this time, or in the past, just that he will likely be rated higher from a college football scouting perspective. Right now, it is about potential. I am guessing that this is the case here. I hope they both end up with high d-1 offers. KY HS football just isn't highly regarded at this time. The more d-1 recruits that come out of KY the better for everyone else in the future. There are D-1 programs that don't even have scouts assigned to KY. That changes only when there are enough quality football athletes coming out of the state to require it. JMHO, based on experience.

 

No one ever specified the criteria of this list was recruiting. And that can't be enough to leave walker off this list. He's been invited to the rivals camp in Cincy, Missouri spring game and practices, being actively recruited by multiple d1 programs. So that my friend will not suffice for me.

It is a 2014 prospect list. It is about recruiting. Many of the selected athletes have been invited and will be at the rivals camp. I am not saying either of them belong, or don't belong, on this list. Everyone has an opinion, including the author, and you are certainly entitled to yours. I don't have one on either of these 2 young athletes. Like I said, I hope they both end up with high d-1 offers. Best of luck to those on the list and those that, potentially, belong on the list for a healthy and productive senior season.

Thanks.

?..how do you put another player from the same squad who is unproven on the list and leave the proven player out?

 

Recruitniks care about 1 thing 1st and foremost: MEASURABLES. And specific to college football, HEIGHT.

I understand that. But is this guy a recruiter or simply a person like I who had the time on his hands?

Although him being a good player on the best team doesn't necessarily mean he is 1 of the top 25 players in the state. Mr football or not. That's all political anyway

 

This is true, but it is hard I miss a 2 year starter on one of the states better teams, with 2000 total career yards under his belt, and playing 1/2 games

 

Oh, and In the states toughest district (can't argue that).:popcorn:

Well said. Regret KY is a flyover State. Many schools are missing out, as I feel KY high school ball is really not too far off OH ball a the higher levels

I understand that. But is this guy a recruiter or simply a person like I who had the time on his hands?

 

If it's the site I'm thinking of, it's a guy who's an avid UK fan but doesn't live in Ky. Follows recruiting VERY closely from afar...so gets his information on kids from people he knows back in state or from guys mentioned on Rivals, Scout.

 

Since not getting to actually see them play much, I'm sure he relies on who he hears colleges are interested in. He looks very closely at which kids are being mentioned by D1 schools.

 

He does a good job following up with kids (talks to them directly via phone).

 

By this time, if you're going to be a senior and you're not getting serious attention from D1 schools (like offers or handwritten letters) or you didn't go and perform well at one of the big national camps/combines (like Sparq, RivalsCamps, etc.), it's going to be hard to get onto lists like this.

 

As good as DeVante Parker was in high school (had a GREAT Junior year), he didn't get much love from stuff like this. Didn't go to the Sparq camps, didn't return mail from Alabama, USC, etc. after they saw his film -- knew he was going to UofL all along.

I hear Dale Mueller has stated emphatically that he has 3 D-1 kids from the 2014 class but I only see 2 listed. No love for big number 79, Scott Turner?

Soph RB at Madison Southern will be top five and possibly highest recruiting RB ever from KY. Already offers from Mich, Tenn I think Notre Dame+UK are interested if not offered.

 

I doubt that he would be the highest recruited RB ever from KY. Silly statement.

How is that silly? The kid already has some pretty big names on his tail.

I'm having a hard time thinking of a Ky. RB with better offers as a Junior. I know Shaun Alexander ended up big-time, but not sure he was recruited to the same extent as Madison Southern kid.

CoachJ, who are some kids in the Ville that we should pay attention to that aren't on the "lists?"

Good point.

I'm just curious to see who is everyone's top 10 or top 5 if they disagree with this list so much.
