Tigerpride94 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I think more go out of state. Have many out of state colleges recruit kids in Louisville so I don’t think it has impact. If you are rated by recruiting service they are going to recruit you if you fit their needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudenSwain Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I think Kentucky kids get plenty of out of state attention. That being said, I have heard and been told first hand that Kentucky kids stay home more often than not, and that probably does affect recruiting of mid/low D1 impact kids. All in all, the measure-sables and grades win out IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoneblitz24 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Kids are staying in Kentucky more now because UK and UL are much better at football than they have been in years past. I also believe that the state of Kentucky is producing more D1 talent in the last 10 years than ever before. There are still several kids who get overlooked by the 2 Power 5 schools in this state and a few still go somewhere outside of the state of Kentucky but they have been better signing in state talent. WKU under Brohm had a roster made up of a lot of Kentucky kids who had been over looked by UK and UL and they were pretty dang good. I think that may have opened some eyes to the in state talent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tkinslow Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 It seems like Kentucky is picking up a lot of the best Kentucky kids recently when in years past the top 3 or 4 always went out of state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I think of Walter Parks, Jacob Lacey and Gavin Wimsatt as very high level players that didn't commit to UK. I'd say overall Stoops and company have done a pretty good job though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear3 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 The post Brohm era at WKU has seen recruiting efforts inside of KY slow down significantly. Therefore, if a player is not offered by UK or UL, and has FBS (Group of 5) offers, they are almost certain to go out of state. As time elapses, it will be interesting to see how the NCAA one-time transfer rule impacts the recruiting of "Group of 5 and below" level recruits. It is difficult to see this rule as being a positive one for HS players working for a spot in Division I football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I see it affecting HS players is immediate playing time. Schools will still have to fill recruiting classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
