If someone cannot beat out Mike Hartline for the starting job, then Kentucky is in for a very long season. The Cats need a QB that actually makes the defense think about defending the pass.

I have Lawrence and Towles the top 2 because they can run the ball to.

But Kremer is the clearcut best passer and that's worth something also when you're talking about QB's.

I spoke with a coach of another sport out at Boone and he said the same thing.

 

More than a handful of underclassmen have quit the team because of the direction they feel the program is going in if a certain player is leading them this coming season.

 

Don't be surprised if Boone is on the outside looking in come playoff time. There are a lot of problems brewing out there right now...atleast from what I've heard.

So you're saying it's not a popular move by the coach to make his son the starting QB? :sssh: Who'd have thought?

"Home country" has a fairly universal definition, correct? Not sure how she could make this "mistake."

1. Chad Lawernce SK

2. Patrick Towles Highlands

3. Michael Kremer Campbell County

4. Conner Hempel Ryle

I'd reverse Kremer and Towles, but I agree this is the top four and that Lawrence is #1. I think Kremer is right there though. Then a dropoff to both Towles and Hempel.

Gee, Washington is giving up on Jason Campbell already? He looked like he was on the verge of coming into his own - that being an inconsistent, clueless, inaccurate, waste of a QB.

You won't be hearing from Stephenson again once he joins the NBA. He will be a marginal player during a short-lived career.

Lawrence is an outstanding QB. I do agree he's the top QB in NKY. But it might be a tough challenge for him next year without the 2009 line and a very special RB that defenses were forced to focus on.

I would move Simon Kenton up to #3 and Campbell Co. up to #8. Boone Co. is facing a cross roads year in their program and I just am not sure which direction they are headed. I honestly feel Ryle will be more talented than Highlands but I can't put anyone above Highlands until someone proves it on the field.

Boone is looking at another down year next season. Hard to be an all-run team if you don't have the line. And hard to throw when you don't have the QB or system for it.

The word is WKU. Hempel will receive quite a few more. He is probably one of the biggest prospects in recent NKY history....his size and deceptive speed will earn a lot of coaches respect. For those who are skeptical of his speed, watch the Ryle BB team. He is one of their top base stealers.

Completely untrue. At best, he is middle of the pack speedwise on that team and I've been told that by a couple of people. He is not some speed demon. He has decent but not special speed. Also a tremendous overstatement to say he's one of the biggest prospects in NKY history. Keep it reasonable.

Not sure about that, and I have a vested interest in both.

 

The only reason I say that is because as the season progresses Ryle IMO will become more and more of the traditional Ryle power run game team, much like they did last year.

 

I do not think the staff is comfortable airing it out to any degree. I feel they think the risk far out ways the reward. With the backfield and OL they have who could argue with them.

 

I think Hempel would put up huge numbers in a passing offense. I do not mean a throw to the open guy offense, either. He has all the talent one could ask for that is for sure. For all the talent he has, he is an even better young man and teammate.

However, I don't know that you can necessarily put one ahead of the other SOLELY based on numbers. I think you take into account that Conner choose to build their offense almost exclusively around West. Ryle chooses to be more balanced, as they have a stronger running game. Therfore, West will certainly have better stats. That alone, however, doesn't make him the better of the two. Coach Warner will not return to the Boone County offense with a QB like Hempel. Now the year after Hempel graduates might be a completely different story . . . .

Wow, since he puts a ton of time and effort in, everyone should give him a free pass when they disagree with something he posts or how he scores a game. I guess we should just accept it as fact, as well.

 

Someone pointed out a contradiction into his scoring of a play in a game based solely on his being a homer for CCH. When TOG posts the information he is presenting it as fact. All the poster is asking, if you are presenting the information as fact, be consistent and not a homer. Do not have separate standards from one team to another or one year to another.

 

 

If you are going to apply different standards be prepared to be questioned about it.

Very nicely put. :thumb:

Interesting that the same rules for qualification as a "hit" don't apply for some CCH hitters. If you didn't see an error by Ryle's 3Bman yesterday, you were sleeping. And if you think Hensley's ball was an error rather than a triple, wow. Same for Clarkson's hit down the line. Every time a bunt is laid down, it isn't an automatic hit. You don't judge error/hit based on whether a past fielder for a certain team might have made the play. It's whether the play was reasonable to make. Period. But score it any way you want if it helps CCH's batting averages and pitching stats.

TOG, the paper shows Clarkson went 3-3. Were they blatant errors or could they have gone either way?

 

I simply ask as I see some coaches "really" make you earn the hit and others are a little more lenient.

At least two were definite hits, probably all three. Guess it depends on who's keeping score. Conversely, Seimer was given a hit on a play that was an error by Ryle. The paper has it right!

Cotton/Dunaway - Boone

Carney/Donovan - Ryle

Sowder - Scott

Pelfrey - Grant Co.

Moran - Calvary Christian

I think NCC has an very good shot of running the table. Holmes will be tough, but if everyone is healthy for NCC, they are capable of beating them.

Campbell County has a great chance of making some noise this year. Came out of region with more first place finishes than Ryle.

Solid season for Brossart, who should take the 37th.

So has West not gotten any offers at all or will he only consider D1 offers (which don't appear to be forthcoming)? He'd make a nice D2 or D3 QB.

Wasn't Egan one of HC's top scorers last season? Obviously he is not playing. Why?

It'll be interesting to see if Holmes wakes up and starts playing to their potential or whether everyone has overrated that potential all season long.

I can think of . . . oh, about 40 sports I'd prefer to watch over curling. This includes synchronized swimming and darts.

Little Calvary Christian may surprise some people in the 10th this year.

Wow, the pictures of the luge accident are really disturbing to watch. I'd say he very well may have been dead on impact.
