Is the Owens or the other DE getting any looks?

 

Good to see you back UK#1, we missed you. Yes, the Machlitt kid from Dixie is a Hot topic right now for almost ALL the Div. 1 Mac schools, my peeps are telling me, and from what I'm hearing. He's the flavor of the week I guess. He is having a monster year at this point, and yes, I've seen him play twice and, YES, he's the real deal, 6' 3' 235 or so, guessing, from what I've seen. He might be as athletic as any player in NKY, he looks like a similar version of Connor Barwin, who played at UC> IMO, he'll be playing OLB, as a pass rusher, in college, if in fact he get's a Div 1 offer. Next week game between SK and Dixie, should be epic. Good to see you back UK#1 fan, good luck to SK the rest of the way.

Give me examples of the PWO kids that turned down smaller D1 schollies.

 

why would UK offer you PWO if a smaller D1 school didn't offer at all?? Think about it. Offers come in bunches.

Wow that's big shoes to follow. Most will have offers at this point. Not all but most.

Last season:

D1 FBS - 39

D1 FCS - 33

D2 - 13

D3 - 19

NAIA - 62

 

So far this season there are 40 D1 offers to Kentucky football players.

 

Why even list D3 or NAIA?? All d3 pay to play. If you want to play start at the HS level. Your on the team. Not all but most. NAIA does give a few scholarships. 15 I think. But most spead among many players. Again pay to play. D2 same.

And wow. If Dixie has maybe 2 FBS players and at least one FCS player on the team. They should beat every team in NKY and compete for a state title.

If all this D1 talk is true billy bob and Moore goes D1. That would be 4. If Sixie doesn't win 6a state something is wrong with the coaching staff.

Studer, Burns, Stokes....cmon man...

Studer, Burns, Stokes....cmon man...

 

Lol that's a good one.

Studer, Burns, Stokes....cmon man...

Look most D1 schools have 2015 recruits committed by now. There will be a few outstanding players who get late offers. If your D1 recurring will happen before your senior season most not all.

why would UK offer you PWO if a smaller D1 school didn't offer at all?? Think about it. Offers come in bunches.

That is not always the case. Cam Fogle didn't have a D1 offer for Football that I can remember, yet he was a POW for UK.

And wow. If Dixie has maybe 2 FBS players and at least one FCS player on the team. They should beat every team in NKY and compete for a state title.

I wish you were right, but it just won't happen. Just because a school has D1 players does not make them the favorite for State, I don't know if Dixie can even win their own district, I hope they do but I am not holding my breath.

Who cares? You act as if D3 isn't football. You do realize not every DIII team will let you play if you want to don't you? If not, please feel free to pm me and I will fill you in on that subject. Also DIII can give other types of scholarships to you, you can play for just about nothing at some schools. Also as was stated earlier in a topic, not the best go and play DI, many times better players don't go DI and go DIII or NAIA or DII. Happens all the time. If you don't have the size or speed then you won't get a look from DI the majority of the time, doesn't mean you can't play or that you aren't better than many that go DI.

SAN ANTONIO—Only about 2 percent of high school athletes are offered even a small sports scholarship from a Division I or Division II college. As a result, many high school athletes who are realistic about their chances sometimes hope their speed and strength might win them a "leadership" or similarly euphemistic scholarship from one of the 444 Division III colleges (mostly expensive private schools) that aren't supposed to lure game-winners with money.

 

But that's not realistic either, says Eric M. Hartung, associate director of research for the NCAA.

 

The NCAA has figured out such dodges. It bars college coaches from even "indirectly influencing" scholarship decisions at Division III schools. That means a call, or even a wink, from a coach to a financial aid officer shouldn't improve a student's odds of winning a grant. "The coach can tell the student who to call" in the financial aid office to apply for aid, "but that's it," Hartung said.

 

To keep everyone honest, the NCAA requires each Division III school to report how much money it gives to students who play sports and how much money it gives to nonathletes. Those numbers show that athletes at Division III schools, on average, aren't getting significantly more money than nonathletes. Sports players make up 21 percent of the student body at Division III schools, he said. In recent years, the NCAA has found that athletes receive 22 percent of all the scholarship dollars handed out by Division III schools.

 

If a Division III university offers a "leadership" scholarship, it cannot consider factors such as team captainship, Hartung said. As a result, he said, some colleges are now telling applicants not to include athletic accomplishments on such scholarship applications.

 

The NCAA has even cracked down on seemingly innocuous scholarship programs such as those targeted at Canadians. At one school, a disproportionate number of the Canadians happened to play hockey, so the NCAA objected, Hartung said.

D3, NAIA, D2 football programs all across the country are peppered with guys that washed out (for what ever reason----grades, injury, homesick, etc) at the D1 level. Even the D3 guys were usually the best or at least one of the top handful of kids on their high school team, and usually have collected some kind of post season recognition or hardware. 90% (actually maybe more) of all high school kids AREN'T good enough to play football at any level of college, so really even the lower levels of college football are still a pretty select group.

So it sounds like KY is right about the average of 2% getting D1 scholarships. Probably no way of knowing what the total number is that go on to play at the next level but it sounds like a few hundred each year. That's awesome!
