Is the Owens or the other DE getting any looks?

Look de and lb. there are so many big fast kids in the US. I mean you got only 1 out of 100 Hs seniors getting full rides that's on a national level. In ky its lower. I don't know. Again looks don't mean anything. What is a look??? An offer is all that matters.

No idea. I don't know all the linemen who are JR's so I would suspect some of them

Johnson Hedger Moore.

Hows Cameron Barrett doing since he came back from his injury? Really like him a lot.

He looks good. Will be the RB next year for sure. But them 15 coaches came for 3 kids. Any guesses who they were??

It's top 26, not top 50

 

 

It's also not a just name SK players thread, there are a lot of better players than backup QB's for SK

Look Dixie had no less than 15 d1 coaches stop by in the spring to look at kids. Two got offers.

Who would you replace on the list for your guys exactly? You do know this list is for the best at each position in the area right? You are simply tossing out names again and backups at that. Embarrasing

He would replace every player with SK kids.

Shhhhhhh, you know SK had 6 seniors last yr that were going D1 because they got letters.

Lol. Some how none of them paned out!! SK has a great thing going. UK fan just doesn't get it with all the D1 talk. They don't care what u do on Friday night in HS!!

Letters don't mean a thing

Trust me on this. You could get a hand written letter every week for a school and never get an offer. Then you can can get an offer from a school that never sent a letter. You can have a coach call every few weeks and never get an offer. Then a coach can call for the first time and offer.

I am 5'8 and he is clearly 2 inches taller than me and he is over 185 pounds. Purdue and UC are sending him letters all the time.

Letters don't mean a thing

I am 5'8 and he is clearly 2 inches taller than me and he is over 185 pounds.

You must be sneaking in an inch or two.

Against Ryle Powell had 26 carries 116 yards 1 td and 4 catches.

Powell is more like 5'8 175. But very fast and strong laterally very quick. If he stays healthy D1 offers will come his way.

Three things i take away from this list: 1) Floyd is not a top corner; he may have top talent but its not playing out very well 2) Is Dixie that good? they have 6 people out of top 26...more than HHS? 3) Where are Cov Cath players (2)?? Didnt they trounce Dixie?

 

I think the RB at Cooper was more impressive than Powell...at least vs Ryle. Also, if there is debate about this Beechwood player not being one of the top WR in NKY, how about Arnwine from Ryle which has 500 receiving yards or so and has about 6 or 7 TD's. Just throwing that name out there...

If he has 500 yards rec. and 7 TDs he needs to be in the top 26. Then we are back to the age old question are numbers king or ability??

Powell averages 132 yards rushing a game.

I will agree with you Powell best RB in NKY

I still take Stokes over Hedger at TE, right now, as a HS player. Kid is a player, stands out every time I watch BW play.

Is Stokes a TE?? I just watched the first half of BW Dixie. Kid didnt line up one time with his hand down. More of a H back/ slot receiver.....

Hedger is going at TE. He is one of the most complete TEs in the state and will be playing on Saturdays for a D-1 school as a TE.

OK, is he going to Red-Shirt?

Won't know till he shows up and competes with the other players. Football starts all over. Every kid on the roster was all state all something. They were very excited to have him and think he can fit right in. Now they could say that to every player. Don't know.

Having seen Mr. Hedger play, he is going to play tackle in college, no doubt, do you think he will be red-shirted in his first year at AP, is it?, to get bigger?

If he plays tackle he needs to gain 70 pounds. I know they like him at TE. Coach Cannon wants him at 250. He pick AP because they sold him the idea of playing TE. They like the 2nd level blocking and use the TE much like Dixie. Fits into the offense. Now what happens in the next 4 5 years i don't know.

That is what I said.

 

The size and speed are 99% of what D-1 schools are looking for first and foremost

This is why they look at that first and foremost. They cant go off of film only. What if the kid plays bad competition? What if a HS WR is very fast tall but his team runs 90% of the time? On the filp side you have a kid who is shorter slower but has 100 rec. at the end of the year. Is he better?

I'm saying of a kid doesn't go to camps etc he won't get noticed period. Then ones who may attend camps etc but don't have D-1 size will be overlooked by D-1 schools all the time even if they are better players than the ones getting D-1 offers.

 

Happens all the time.

I will say this. If you dont meet the height weight they are looking for at a position they dont care how good you are. A 6'1 190 TE will never get an offer as a TE. Now I do think they offer the top players in the state with the size/speed to play at that level. All I was was saying is you dont just show up at a camp as a big guy and get an offer.

Anyone who thinks that D-1 players are always the best at their positions are being naive.

 

D-1 looks at size #1 and speed etc.

Just because someone is going D-1 does not always mean he is the best in the area at that position. There are plenty of kids who don't attend camps etc and will never get noticed because of that yet they are among the best at their positions etc.

Wont get noticed beacuse of size/speed or are you saying kids are D-1 they just dont get noticed???

Camps and offers don't determine who is the best at a position though. TE is a tough one since most schools don't utilize them in the passing attack enough IMO.

So D-1 coaches dont take the best kids? Kids are getting over looked?

I would take Stokes over Hedger at TE. Much much more athletic..

Hedger is a much better blocker. TEs Blocks 90% of the time.

OK, but getting offers doesn't mean he's the best TE. There will be some players in the state of KY that get offers because of there size, and there size only. I think Hedger is a nice player, but just because you get an offer or signed with a school, doesn't make you the best at your position. I'd agree he's probable the best TE in NKY. Relax.

At camps hedger wasn't the only 6'5 230lb TE that showed up. In fact most are that size. Kids from all over the U.S. So it's more than size only. when you compete vs 15 20 TEs that are your size.

He's certainly the biggest name, and will be playing at the next level. But this year, the tight ends are certainly not well publicized.

Hedger 1 of only 3 TEs in the state to get offers.

Sam Letton, TE - Lexington Catholic

(Kentucky, Memphis)

Tyler Jefferson, TE - Doss

(Committed WKU, offered Tennessee-Martin

Andrew Hedger, TE - Dixie Heights

(Committed Austin Peay, Offered Fordham, Holy Cross,Hampton,)
