After speaking with about 5 boys that have signed, all are in agreement that the way they where recruited showed a coach and his staff that was concerned about their future. They didnt want to see boys slipping through the cracks and not getting an outstanding Christian education. While playing football they will be receiving fellowship and guidance. All said it was a family atmosphere. We will be proud to buy tickets and watch our area boys come together and play football for this area. I personally feel like they are in great hands.

Congratulations to these young men. KCU is getting some good ones here.

:thumb: I agree and with all the local talent they (KCU) are signing it will be exciting to watch them. GO KNIGHTS!!!!:ylsuper:

Yes they have signed, and sent it in to the school. But then they have a signing at school for everyone and stuff to see. But the real LOI has already been sent in.

Yes indeed. Hope to see them have a productive career and earn a solid degree as they continue to represent Ashland. :thumb:

Congratulations to all of our area players that have signed to play for KCU.

Also a big thumbs up (:thumb: ) for Coach Damron for caring enough to give these young men a chance to play a little football and earn a valuable education within a Christian environment.

I'm really looking forward to attending some of KCU's games in the next few years.

Same here. It'll be great to have a number of local boys on one team and not have to drive hours to see them play.

^ I'm looking forward to watching games next year as well, I am also excited about watching this young program build in to something big.

Looking at how well their basketball programs have done, and how much time, effort, and money they have spent trying to start this program, the football team should build up into a power or at least a contender very soon.

Basically, they discussed how Damron's goal for the program is to win a Victory Bowl (the championship of NCCAA football) then hopefully in the future move to NAIA or NCAA III. He had an authentic concern about the other sports programs at the school and did not want to push the move if the other sports were not ready. Very Classy IMHO. He ran off the 2007 JV schedule and did mention that the first varsity game in 2008 will be against Virginia-Wise University. He said that he has had tons of offers from schools to be added to their schedule for 2008.

They didn't talk much about specific recruits besides Aaron Miller. He mentioned his goal to recruit this region hard and give those players that would not normally have an opportunity to play at the next level a chance to do so. He talked a little about the new facility and said it would be a 3,000-3,500 seat complex for football and soccer. The building would have offices, weight room, locker rooms for soccer and football. He said something about how the locker room will be able to go from two visiting soccer locker rooms to one bigger one for football. I guess it will have some sort of divider between the two that can be removed.

Coach also had very high things to say about KCU itself and mentioned its academics and Christian atmosphere.

 

It's been a while since I listened to it, but that was the basis. I hope it helped.

Thanks for the info freeze. :thumb:

It'll be like a local all-star game. I'm planning to go to some of their home games - should be a good time.

Thanks. The avatar kinda reminded of J.T. last season. One big, bad RAM.

We will have to form a "Knights Mafia", of course that name doesn't sound very good for a fan club of a Christian based school does it.:eek:
