Here is what my take is:

I have seen High School Football up close in several states and seen many Division 1 players

1. Kentucky is far from LOADED in talent

2. I do think the State of Kentucky is underrated for talent though.

3. The reason you see more kids with offers now is because of a combination of #1 and #2 and the emergence of Social media and more access to getting film out.

4. D-1 offers have a lot of variables and many of which negatively effect Kentucky.


I have seen numerous D-1 kids in Georgia... some even with multiple Power 5 offers... who have had kids in Kentucky that I have seen that are every bit as talented and not had but maybe 1 or 2 small Offers.

I have seen schools in Georgia with 7-8 players with D-1 offers. Of those players 3-4 were every bit the superstar you would expect. 1 or 2 were D-1 worthy, but had inflated sheets. Another 1 or 2 should never had a D-1 offer. This comes down to the politics of recruiting. Kids get offered at these D-1 factories because they want an "in" with either a bigger player or a relative coming up the pipeline. Coaches at these schools also leverage College Coaches to offer kids who probably don't deserve it so they can earn favor.

There aren't many schools in KY that can consistently pump out the talent to do this.
