Other than Drew Barker, and, discounting Tad Morgan, who I believe transferred in, I can not think of many quality QBs developed in any of the Boone County programs in the 12 or so years I've been paying attention to HS ball here. I have some thoughts on this issue, but I'll let you folks chime in first

Morgan started at Ryle played for the Union Raiders.

No played his freshman and sophomore year for Hazard.

He played for the Union Raiders.

Pretty sure Morgan was on Ryles Freshman tean as a 8th grader.

Yes he was. Also Conner Himple ( not sure of the spelling ) was a D-1 QB. That is 3 D-1 QB's in the last 6 years. Not to bad.

Well he must have went back to Hazard. He started as a freshman and sophomore At Hazard before starting at Ryle his junior year. His stats at Hazard can be found on the KHSAA website.

You all are right on Tanner Morgan. He grew up in Union, played freshman football at Ryle as an 8th grader, went to Hazard for 2 years and then came back and finished up at Ryle. I would consider him a Boone County product.

I did miss Himple.

 

3 D1 prospects from 4 large schools in 6 years? SK has had that many by themselves in the last 4 years. The Boone County schools should be producing more QB prospects. I'd like to hear the perspective of those coaching in the youth league in Boone County. Does anybody throw the ball in that league?

This thread is ridiculous. There have been plenty of quality QBs in the Boone County Schools over the years.

Conner throws the ball a lot, Cooper did last season, Ryle has the last two years. You play to what you have.

Couldn't agree more, this thread is pointless. Depends on the definition of "quality". I would certainly say Hempel, Barker, Nick West, Morgan, Morris, and Lonaker, who was one of the leaders in entire State in passing for nearly all of 2016, qualify as quality in most people's book and I'm probably missing others.

There are only 4 schools in the county and one has been around only 9 years so I would say the county is doing a pretty decent job IMO.

FYI for those of you not sure on the spelling it is:

 

Conner Hempel - Ryle and Harvard QB

If we can't follow the rules we can't talk.
