Going to have to call you out on that one. I think I know where you're going, recruiting KY kids is great, when they can play at that level. Unfortunately, the vast majority cannot. Take a look at the roster of some of these OVC schools (Jax State). They have transfers from SEC schools. Your 5'11 LB isn't going to be able to compete at this level, no matter how big his heart is.
IMO, recruiting KY kids at this level is a sign that Elder can't recruit the talent he needs to win in the OVC.
