I have heard they hired a former alumni - Maxwell Maliki as running back coach.

Malachi Maxwell is graduating from EKU, and he did attend Madison Southern so maybe they did.

Zac McGuire from Madison Southern will be playing for EKU. Just decided about 3-4 wks ago.

Is Logan Bunch, QB, playing college ball anywhere?

Clay will be a pre-ferred walk-on. After visiting UK last weekend he knew that is where he really wanted to go. He loves the school and wants to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering. The UK people believe he can help the team either as a slot reciever or DB.

Did he make a football official visit or academic visit?? How does this preferred walkon usually work? Do the coaches just call the player up and offer a walkon status or does the player call the coach and ask if they can walkon?

From what i believe they rarely have non-preferred walk-ons. Most schools dont hold open tryouts anymore. Atleast thats how its done at Eastern.

So EKU doesn't have tryouts anymore? So if a player is interested in walking on the team, what does he need to do and when? Does EKU take many walkons?

What about Alex Mathews QB from Shelby Co, I heard he had an offer from Georgetown. Anyone know if he signed with them or where else he might be going?

I just recieved a phone call from a reliable source and he said that Clay Cecil has just commited to Murray State University. Clay has been told by the coach that they are looking at him to play Outside linebacker which they use as a Rover. We are all very proud of what you have accomplished thus far Clay and could'nt be happier for you and your FAMILY. Keep up the good work!!!

I know he played QB but did he play linebacker at all in high school??

Ob7footballfan, you seem to be a insider on the Southern situation. What players will Southern have returning for next year? What would you expect as some possibilities from their lineup?

I think they will have very few players in number and in talent.

Partially.You have to have receivers that can catch the ball. Southern successfully ran the Franklin system the previous year but then graduated 5 guys that made great receivers....just needed to catch. Those guys were missed this year. Also no running back at all.

So he's not going as QB...who has Murray recruited at QB?

Last time around the Georgetown, KY staff was rumored to be the runner up to Hope at EKU so there could be a domino effect if Hope leaves.

Are you talking about Coach Cronin as a possible applicant for the EKU coaching position, like when Hope applied?

If Hope leaves, who would be mentioned to replace him?

 

What would his son play in college?

This article makes is sound very likely he is leaving. It's all over Purdue forums as well.I wonder if he has talked to his coaches and team at EKU?

If Hope leaves, who would be mentioned to replace him?

 

What would his son play in college?

He was a QB and Defensive End at Madison Central, I think anyway.

Do you have a link....I was trying to find out about this myself. I talked to a couple of my buddies that coach college ball and they told me that there was a deal in the works with Hope going to Purdue as a Assistant Head Coach during the AFCA convention.

Just go to http://www.richmondregister.com/

The Richmond Register is reporting that Hope may be leaving EKU for Purdue as early as Friday this week. This may affect recruiting because some of these high school players being recruited by EKU may be influenced by a coaching change. On the EKU forum, which may not be true, but they are saying that Purdue is also recruiting Coach Hope's son Chaz, from Madison Central.

Does anyone know where a roster is with the players positions listed?

How does this coach relate with the players? Will he likely recruit some of his high school seniors to Campbellsville???

Tilghman threw the ball quite a bit when they had a QB that could do it effectively. Hunter Cantwell put up some pretty good numbers at Tilghman, even with Joe Casey with him in the backfield.

So as far as recruiting, any guess if he will look for a qb who can pass the ball or will he be more interested if the qb can run the ball? or do they hand it off alot to the running back?

From the stats on the scoreboard website, it looks like Paducah was a rushing team and not a passing. Would you think this would be what Campbellsville will be with him there?

Looks like Perry Thomas is going to be the new coach at Cville...excellent hire IMHO.

Who's Perry Thomas? Where's he from and can he coach??

Who's Perry Thomas?Where's he from? And can he coach?

You're right. I'm just tired of someone trying to convince me that a team (Bell Co.) that beat two teams on their schedule with winning records could win convincingly over a team that defeated not one but two top ten teams on their way to Papa John's.

Well there were alot of Lone Oak fans on these boards thinking they had a chance to beat Lexington Catholic or at least be in the game, but that didn't happen either.

I'm not even going to get sucked into the private/public debate but it is what it is. Lexington Catholic had twice the numbers and Lone Oak is a county school that hasn't, nor will they, consolidate with the other area county schools. Lone Oak would have fared just fine against Bell County. Might not have beaten them but they are still a solid third in Class 4A.

Have you watched Bell County this year? I sure disagree with you on this. Bell would have easily handled Lone Oak and I've seen both teams play. I don't think Lone Oak could have even played with Bell, like they couldn't play with Lexington Catholic.

Does CJ Croft, the QB, have any college offers or colleges interested in him?
