[Mr.Kimball]

Steve Blevins from LC signed with Cinn.
LC had a really good SS about 3 yrs ago that signed with Vrg Tech I think. Name escapes me.
Daniel Pugh signed with Morehead last year.
I think JC has signe quiet a few D-1 player in the past: Harry Meek, UofL, Mike Hall UofL, Mo Hall signed with UofL but didn't stay long. Willie Blair, Morehead State. I cant remember any more but Mr Kimble can probably name quiet a few more.
Paintsville also signed a few players a few seasons ago. David Lemaster, Clemson, Scott Daniel, East Tenn State, John Doug Miller, Morehead State, Lance Daniels, WKU,
Roger Daniel, WKU. I'm sure I've left out a ton of guys, but most of you wouldn't remember them anyway. Much too young.

As for Johnson Central, Matt Fyffe just this past season can be added. Timmy Baldwin signed with Morehead a few years ago. Heath Castle went the JUCO route and went to Saint Catharines before going to UK his junior season. Thing is he was drafted twice out of Saint Catharines twice before he ever went to a D1 school. Adam Blanton had the opportunity of attending Kentucky and a couple of other D1 schools a couple of years ago, but chose to go to Cumberland instead. Also had the opportunity to transfer to Marshall in the second semester just last season, and again declined. Those are the most recent out of JC.

Chase Huffman of Pikeville signed with Morehead two years ago. Those would be the most recent that I can think of right of the top of my head out of Pikeville.

John Bevins out of Pike Central signd with Walters State around 2000 which is the best JUCO program in the United States, period. A lot of those guys dont even fool with going to a D1 school when they leave there. They get paid to play.

Casey Howard out of Lawrence Co. signed with EKU somewhere around 2002.

There is a big difference in getting letters and visitation requests. That's all just very routine stuff. When they start making you offers that is the tell-all.

Every individual is different. What may be a great situation for one may not be a great situation for another. There are a bunch of these "experts" on here that will look down upon Grimm if he does not sign with a D1 school because ignorance is a disease around these parts. There would be nothing wrong with Grimm going to a DII, DIII, JUCO,or a good NAIA school. There is some dang good baseball in all of those divisions. To be honest Grimm would be very doubtful in making the rotation early in his career at a school like Cumberland, Campbellsville, or Union to begin with. To me the best place to go is where you get the chance to play and just forget about the stigma of D1. This aint football or basketball, it's baseball. Whole different animal when it comes to the college level.
