2009 Highlands

[THUNDERBIRDS]

I was going to assume that but Rowan is closer to Mason so I wasn't sure.

 

Read post #355. Not sure why he would be very concerned if he wasn't going to Highlands.:thumb:

He's a defensive lineman and a senior. He started at offensive tackle and defensive tackle for Rowan County the past three years. He's about 6-1 and 250 pounds. Nice kid.

When does the kid expect to hear from the KHSAA regarding whether he'll be eligible to play football this year or not?

The night before the state final.

Just saw AC on Channel 19. He is really filling out physically.

 

I predict it will either be UC or UK for his college selection.

Let's just hope this doesn't drag into the season. That can only be accomplished by the KHSAA and school doing their homework!

Kind of lost here. Why would the kid from Rowen Cty. have any eligibility issues?

[Jack of all Trades]

I keep hearing how loaded this team is with talent and was just curious how many have officially picked up D-1 offers and from where. I know that Tyler Grubbs has committed to Miami of Ohio, but was just curious about the rest.

I believe that two Highlands players have received D-I offers so far: Grubbs and Collinsworth. Grubbs has already committed to Miami (Ohio), although he had other offers (WKU and Troy, if I remember). Collinsworth has offers from UK, UL, UC, Stanford and Vandy so far, and he is uncommitted at this point.

 

Some of the team's most talented players have probably not received offers at this time because of A. concerns about some injury issues last year (I can think of two guys that fall into this category), and B. the player didn't start last year (i.e. QB Will Bardo).

I probably missed it already posted somewhere but just in case somebody didn't get to see this cool article.

Like many of us, you sound if as you've got great memories from playing at HHS. Please come around and introduce yourself. It's great to watch practice and swap stories about the old days.
