well i do think it has a lot to do with how much the kids name is put out into state...printing up local stats in the big sandy news and then printing stats in the lexington herald or courier journal are a lot different, there are a lot more people who here about the kids from lexington and west of lexington...the market here is far from anything that it needs to be to get some kids recognized....im sure timmy hayes has been to many camps and showcases around the state and out of state for that matter, and i think that has a lot to do with it...when kids go to these showcases there are so many coaches that are there to evaluate their talent that i would say if i was guessing thats where most of the rankings come from, the showcases....and sadly the good showcases are mainly in lexington and louisville...i remember one going on last season during the state tournament at transy, and i know there were over 100 kids there...they get called back after the first day to play in the actualy game against each other, and i would say all the kids that get called back are put on the prospect list and then they are voted on their rankings from there...hayes is one of the top, if not the top catching prospect in the state...and a lot of coaches probably seen that at the showcases and he was put on the list, and well he should definetely be on that list i think, great and talented kid...

That would be the try-outs for Jody Hamilton's Junior Kentucky All Star team.
