Are any players from your schools getting looked at to play at the next level?

Boyle County junior Lamar Dawson has an offer from Kentucky and has visited Notre Dame. Louisville, amongst others, is also interested.

Burchett, McKinney, and Griffith are all getting serious looks. I think Cincinnati is in on all 3. Michael I know visited Purdue and UK and is being looked at, other than those three, by Vanderbilt and Wake Forest.

I can tell you that Centre does not offer athletic scholarships. He may go on an academic scholarship and play football but most if not all Div. III colleges do not offer athletic scholarships.

As for Harvard, I believe it is somewhat the same. They may be able to guarentee you a spot on the team and acceptance to the school but they do not give athletic money.

You might want to have very good grades and a large bank account if you are considering either of those schools.

Harvard has what they call "attractive financial aid packages" if your ACT is good enough and the parents are poor enough you can go close to free. :biggrin:

No. Caleb has a 4.33 and is ranked in the top 13% at CHS. I have no idea about Michael. 4.0 is nothing to sneeze at though.:Clap:

tradition · 10-29-2009, 11:31 PM

If their ACT's are 30 + more power to them and all the best.

I know Michael visited both Purdue and UK. He was supposed to go on a visit to Vanderbilt but I haven't had a chance to talk to him lately about it. I think Griffith may have gone to UK with Burchett on the day Burchett was asked to come.

KyGurl · 10-30-2009, 12:20 PM

Austin Delpont from Hazard - EKU

mitch1 · 10-30-2009, 12:57 PM

Receiver Ryan Mitchell from Henry County is getting looked at by Texas.

Actually, Griffith and Burchett both visited UK seperately. Both were asked to come. Michael took a couple of guests, as did Alex.

I had a friend tell me that Channing Fugate (SP) may be having his scholarship pulled from him. Anyone know anything or heard anything about this???

That would certainly be a shame! It would also be horrible PR for Tennessee and the coaching staff.

I agree 100%!! If this is true, I think its a terrible thing to do to a player.

Mckinney went to UK last weekend and is at EKU today. He also has visits scheduled for Cinn and Marshall in the next couple of weeks.. Burchett had visited UK and Purdue. Not sure about Alex.. These are fine young men and anyone who signs them will be getting great players.

I knew Micheal went to visit Purdue but they didn't have him listed as an official visit. I'm just wondering if it wasn't updated or it wasn't official. I know myself and many of my teamates in high school had visits at several colleges. Only a couple got official visits. The difference turned out to be D1 scholarships for the two official visitors while the rest of us walked on at different schools. I would like to see Micheal play some where. He seems to be an intelligent athlete and a good kid. He would be an asset to anyteam.
