I only see 3 guys out of all 20 that I would consider NKY, unless you want to include Scott County and Mason County as NKY.

 

What does NKY have to do with this? You lost me....

Me too.

Must have misread sorry I thought you'd said maybe they should make it a NKY top 5 list which had me confused as well.

Gotcha. It's all good. I think there are some threads about top 5 NKY football players but I don't know enough about NKY football to participate in those. Does the Cincy paper or do any NKY papers make preseason NKY lists? I think the Herald Leader and Advocate Messenger may do a '10 players to watch' type of thing for state and area players.

...It's really a list that means nothing because all the players were not considered.

 

There are multiple top 10 lists for anything that has a fan base, becauase no one can truly evaluate "all the players". I don't know a lot about Jude, Hatcher or Elliott, but they are probably great players. I didn't recognize every name on the Scout lists either, but I'd be willing to bet they are all great football players, too. These lists mean something and so will the lists that include your top players.

My point being: the AP polls consider the whole state, perhaps not equally, but nonetheless. The same is true for the coaches polls. This is a private company that basically only considered the players that have put their profiles on Scout. Not a solid process.

I definitely agree with that.

I would argue that the AP and coaches polls strongly favor Louisville, NKY and Lexington schools. The coaches know the players they face throughout the season and others boys that are talked about around their city or on the local news. Likewise, do the AP writers really make it out to the the more rural football programs to evaluate player? No way. Not solid processes either.

You sure about that?

Not even one kid from Lexington was even Honorable Mention

 

Oh....and Jude and Quick both made first team.

Got a laugh looking over that list. There are always players that should be on these lists that aren't so it is no surprise that a deserving player is not listed. But in another thread we are congratulating Zeke Pike in being named one of the top 11 QB's in the nation and as I look at this list he didn't even make honorable mention in his own state.

My bad...I guess Lexington gets overlooked, too. Doesn't it seem odd that not a single player from the collective Lexington area made this list? Read the selection process from the article, "The 2010 Kentucky High School All-State first and second teams, as selected by 13 media representatives from across the state". No one can objectively evaluate and rank all of the top football players in Kentucky.

 

Jude and Quick are great athletes too, and I'm happy for the athletes that make anyone's "top" list.

Yep. Towles was Honorable Mention also.

I agree it is very hard to make an objective list. I said it last year and I maintain it this year that BGP does the best job overall when it comes to picking a pure team of the best players throughout the state.

I would not overlook Jonathan Jackson of Mayfield, he did attend a couple of camps, and is going to be an impact player, maybe divison 1, only a junior!

JJ Jude is playin against some stiff competition ??? not really.

Jason Hatcher should be on there
