I think Midland quit bringing in kids from all over years ago. Mostly they draw from Ohio, with some kids coming from Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia area now. May have a player or two from another state, but it's not like they go get kids from Texas and California.

Uh yeah they are, There is only about 2 maybe 3 players from KY, and Ohio.

Here you go check out their roster.

And some of the KY boys might sound familiar because they were drafted this year.

Can you show me a link with their roster, and where the kids are from? I'm from Missouri.

 

Pretty sure most of the roster is from Ohio, with Indy, Ky., and WV, filling out nearly all the rest.

I will say they are more KY and OH players that I expected, but more than half are from FL, CA, TX, MI, and NC

Any link?

 

Why would a really good player from FL, CA, TX, come to Cincy to play summer ball. Those states play ball year round, and have many very select summer programs to play for. Not doubting your word that they play for Midland, but could it be because they didn't make the better summer teams in their home state?

This is a Ky Colonels thread, if you want to talk Midland, start a thread, and I will be more than happy. :thumb:

Thanks for the site. Looks like about half the roster is Ohio, Kentucky, or Indiana, and the other half comes from NC, FL, TX, with a CA kid. Interesting.

And its usually that way from about 16 year olds and up.

I thought only the Redskins brought in guys from several states. Do the other teams as well?

Yes they do.

Yes they do.

 

I like the Colonels program of using NKY players. They get them to the next level, but at the end of the day there are a lot of good players to choose from if you have such resourses.

Walt is one of the best you will find at getting kids recruited. 85% of his schedule is at college stadiums, not to mention all the people he knows.

He's proven that time and time again. Walt does a great job getting his players looks. After that, it's up to the players and most have done well. Midland may be another animal, when you can get guys from all over coaching gets much easier. I'll ask you this, are they clearly the best team in NKY? I'm pretty sure the answer will be yes, and rightfully so.
