SK will have 2 or 3 qbs to pick from.

Not a bad problem to have. Competition pushes all of the kids to work harder to get better.

Lets also remember that most kids that are good in middle often have a hard time adjusting when they get older because everyone else develops and catches up physically. A lot of their parents have a hard time with this too.

 

I would hardly call anyone in NKY one of the top 2 or 3 in the state at their position when you haven't seen all the other kids in the state. I'll guarantee there are at least 5 kids in Louisville alone that are better right now but you never saw them because they didn't travel.

 

People should stop trying to project what kids "will" be and just let them be what they are.

Paul Kremer NCC. Is special.

I agree with part of your statement. The other half I have to disagree, because you didn't travel the state and see the talent outside of Louisville. There is great talent all across the state. What part of the State were the top ranked in state prospects from this year?

20 out of the top 25 in state prospects were not from the Louisville area. However, you claim there are 5 better plays at every position in Louisville than the rest of the state....

On average, yes. Lexington and Louisville produce most of the D1 talent in Ky. It's crazy to say an 8th grader is in the top 2 or 3 of his position because you haven't seen everyone at his position. Not everyone travels for middle school football. And history has shown that NKY doesn't produce D1 talent consistently. So why put that pressure on a kid. Just let him develop and see what he is. Parents making statements like that at this age is what sets kids up for failure during their junior and senior seasons.

OK your point is correct to a point. We played two louisville schools in the playoffs and and traveled south all over the state in the last two years, it's there opinion that he was better than anyone they seen in a long time. We also traveled acrossed the river to Cincinnati three times and his film has been seen by varsity coaches over there and they seem to think that he's probably the best on both sides of the water as they put it. I'm partial but the feedback has been garnered by independent sources not just mine and his coaches. Sometime in 7th and 8th you see the upward track of a kid starting. this kid was on the line untill 7th grade so this isn't a little league phenom, he's just starting to be a skill. I've seen younger kids that were good in peewee be good in ms, be good in hs. Not everyone fizzles out. I've seen many kid's who were small framed Rb's and killed it in little league and never even played in HS. they didn't have the size, So I don't always make statements lightly when saying a player is really good. Just a few nuggets. 6200 yards from scrimmage in two years, Rarely played the whole third and hardly ever played the 4th quarter. 94 td's, Selected to team Ky two years in a row. Only three to four RB's on that team so that's a nugget in itself. the kid is 5ft 9in, 175, runs a true 4.62 was just timed a week ago, ran it twice. Is in the weight room every day, runs track and plays basketball. is a good athlete in all the sports. His own coaches have said a kid like this comes around once or twice in there coaching lifetime. So yea he may be special. May be great, maybe be just above average, I don't think fizzeling out is an option. the where you are born or live is not a genetic code to how good you can be. I don't get that. but ok, I was born in Cincinnati and started varsity freshman, sophomore, junior years, moved to Florida and started senior year, his mother is from Florida and is half jamaican ( sprinters ). He also has a pro basketball. Amarie stoudemire, [video=youtube;mf-Dwhkw41Y]

ex Nfl RB Travis Henry and countless college athletes in the 1st cousin tree. so if living in Union is a handicap and not Louisville there is your locality of genetics infusion that shouldn't be such a hindrance to him. Time will tell if your right or most who have evaluated him are wrong. The kid is special you'll see.

I would love to see him put down the Basket Ball and Wrestle :popcorn:
