I think this is the best Lawrence Co group I've seen in awhile. Very physical skill kids. The kids have bought into Coach Short. Good vibe in the air and the most kids I've ever seen out (over 70). That's saying a lot with all the job losses, concussion stuff etc. We'll find out fast...open at Raceland.
Fredrick Douglas is interesting. New school w college like facilities. I used to work at one of the feeders. Typically some of the most athletic kids I've seen around KY (worked Lville/Lex/EKY). Uber speed! Open w Danville so will learn a lot there. Huge numbers difference but great program.
I'll be surprised if LCA isn't in the hunt of healthy led by D Wheatley.
Paintsville/Hazard no longer sleepers but has the makings to be a dandy late in the playoffs.

Not neccisarly. Both of those kids had offers from smaller D1 schools like Marahall (close to home). It wasn't until they both went to the combines and dominated that the big programs came knocking like SEC, Big 12, ACC. It changed both of their lives.
I think it's hard to stereotype because a combine in some places in KY can help kids that might not be noticed to get noticed by smaller in state Universities. If you're from areas like these 2 kids that aren't football rich recruiting areas and dominate at a place like Atlanta then it opens doors that wouldn't be open. In a nutshell I think each combine is different and each kid is different.
-
I can tell you this...I watched 1 kid I'm close to go from a few offers before a combine to offers from UK, UofL+SC the week after. The next week Ohio St+Fla showed up at school.
Fast forward to this past week. I watched another kid I know well go from an offer to Marshall before a combine (where he won MVP) to receiving offers from WVU+Fla St yesterday!
I'm not saying they aren't money makers but for extremely talented kids from areas without a lot of exposure it's been huge for those two!
I'd have to go back and look at which combines they were but one was in Charlotte the other in Atlanta. I know Kent Phelps just had a good showing in Indy so we'll see what comes of that.

Congrats Copley!
-
Coached Copley. Hope this is true. Makes a lot of sense. He was with Jackson at Pikeville. Copley's around a lot of good competition in the Nashville area.
-
Great news for Kent! He's been invited to Nike's Opening Regional event. Should help exposure a lot for one of the top Jr's in KY.
-
Getting fun for Luke. Morehead, Centre etc have offered. Air Force met w him last Sun night about possibly playing there. Army gathering info now.
-
Every kid is different. I don't know many coaches that wouldn't love a crack at coaching D1 talent.
-
Outstanding team. Always is. Had hoped Luke Trimble would have made it. Thought he was what the athlete role encompasses. Might be the only kid I've seen that started 4 yrs offense, defense+all special teams never missing a start or leaving a game injured. Burst on the scene Freshman yr w 140yds receiving, 80yd kick return TD and 60+TD run all by halftime vs State Runner up. Finished Sr yr ave 14yd Rush, 15 yd a catch and 6int. Best game vs Bourbon 4TD 2int(pick6). I think he flew under the radar some w Kash Mr Football this yr and Kent a preseason candidate next year. Would have big numbers at WR in a passing system. Biggest hands for a WR I've seen in EKY since UK WR Gerad Parker. Recruiting has picked up since season end. Air Force has been communicating a lot. Feel like there's a legit chance they might offer.
I agree with Brown too. He is one of the fastest kids in KY. Both kids have been huge for their hometowns.
No arguments from me though. I understand how hard it is to make a list. If I were adding 2 that's the 2 best I've seen left off.

The San Antonio Significance | Kentucky Sports Radio
Nice read. Really happy for 3 good young men. They already have a special bond and haven't stepped on campus for class yet.
-
Our 3 boys have been huge this week! Everything I've seen has Drake top Center + Landon being called 5 Star Tackle arguably the highest ceiling. Kash had and int and has emerged as a leader. He was tabbed before the camp as "fish out of water" because the stage would supposedly be to big for him. Good news Kash+Drake just got named 2 of the 4 Captains for their team! This the day after Kash got defensive player of the day and Landon got offensive player of the day.
-
Good start to practice week. UK got the #3 overall grade after practices up to this point. Both linemen have been in the stock up players. Drake getting rave reviews as fast learner, command at Center sounds like he's got a great shot to come in and compete right away at Guard. Have seen him ranked as high as 3 overall on his All Star Team. Mauler they called him.
Great reviews of Landon. Said body wise he looks like the most prototipacal at the whole camp. Said he's on the right side right now but has all the makings of a left tackle and has looked good vs tough competition.
Haven't seen a lot on Kash yet review wise. I know he had an interception yesterday.

Great read on Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney:
-
I'd like to know how the USA Today Team was selected. I think it's hands down been the best one yet.
BGP tends to be the most solid team every year. With it you have knowledgable respected group of guys around the state that put time in. I think the process should get easier now too with hudl highlights on all of the kids. No perfect system but the eye in the sky doesn't lie.
-
Most legit list so far IMO. Any idea when BGP list comes out?
-
Congrats to Kash. Very close family friend. In all my years around football I can't think of a kid that works any harder. That will give him a shot at the next level. He's had as much pressure on him as any kid I've seen in EKY outside of Tim Couch. He handled it well and makes it a point to go out of his way to speak to kids etc that look up to him. Congrats Kash!

Luke Trimble (DB/Ath) 1st team in a lot of eyes, 2nd team today on the USA Today team. Had a span of 6 int's in 7 games this yr (12 career int along w 7 fumble recoveries). Also finished career over 2,200 all purpose yds+28 TD's. Home run hitter both sides of the ball 4 pick 6's, regular season ave 14yds a carry +15yds a catch. 4 yr starter both ways never missed a game!
Senior Season Highlights - Luke Trimble highlights
Kent Phelps (RB/Ath) Will be on the 2016 Mr Football list. Want to say 1,700yds 23 TD's. Outstanding combo strength/speed along w great hands. Good snapshot of Phelps is about 2 hours before the Final 4 game vs Pikeville he found out he was going to have to start QB 1st time in HS. 1st drive he threw a TD bomb deep and on the money. 2nd kickoff he ran back for a TD. Also rushed for another. Will get big D1 baseball+football offers.

Interesting...friend from KY is CEO of this company. Been all over National news...

Mark does a great job in EKY. Coach Haywood has been not only a great role model for his players but for coaches. I met him at a clinic in Cincy when I 1st started coaching. It was refreshing how he gave his time for me to pick his brain. Very genuine and consistent man!
-
Kent Phelps of Paintsville deserves some votes.
Congrats to all of the kids that made it a lot of great kids on there. Thank you to the coaches that took time to vote.
Not slamming the list just sharing 2 I think should have defiantly made it.
Kent Phelps+Luke Trimble. 2/3 of 3 headed monster that kept their team #1 majority of the season. 3 yrs ago same program was 2nd from last!
Phelps (RB) do it all RB will be on the short list for Mr Football next year!! Led KY Baseball Club out of Lex in batting this Summer. Will get D1 football and baseball offers. 1,700+ total yds 22 TD's this year.
Trimble (DB)4yr starter both ways 12 int's(7 this yr w 4 pick 6's).7 fumble recoveries. Ave 14yds a carry 15 yds a catch regular season. 2,200 all purpose yds 28career TD's. 5yr starter at Point Guard and multiple state track appearances.
Phelps (Jr)had visits to schools like Vandy/UK/Marshall this yr.
Trimble (Talks w Air Force along w in state schools).
2 great student athletes most defiantly deserving of honorable mention at worst! Both top football players in KY but also excellent multi sport athletes with close to 4.0 GPA's!
IMO BGP has always been the best. Anxious for it to come out.
It's tough to choose. I appreciate the work Jason put in. Feel like these 2 earned the right to be recognized tonight too. It's over but fun hudl highlights that speak for themselves..

Here's Braden Browns hudl. Kid can FLY! Coached with his Dad many moons ago. Both Coach Browns 1st class leaders!
-
Outstanding season! Should be right around the top players in the state for Mr. Football watch his Sr year. Final 4 they stuck him at QB vs Pikeville and he threw a bomb TD on the 1st drive. Turned around and ran a kick back on them.
D1 football or baseball IMO. I know he had football visits to UK,Vandy, Marahall etc football. I've been around the game a long time. He's as good of a kid off the field as I've been around. One you'd want your son to be like!! 2 athletic little brothers too! All 3 lefties. Little bro JW was best 8th grade player in EKY. It will be fun to track offers this off season.
