Wall 2 Wall you might want to check and see how many eastern KY boys have gone to major colleges and come home. It is not always the coaches not promoting the players, eastern ky players have a reputation of not sticking it out at the next level. Example Todd May was starting at KY and finished at Pikeville. Tony Pietrowski had a ride to LSU, but did not stay and that is just a few. You might say HOME BOYS!!

I think thats why the coach and parents should get more involved in the choice of school and the reasons their choosing that particular school. You want to find a school that is a good "fit" for the player/student. Whether thats playing time their looking for or its a certain career choice their looking for. The parents and coaches should look at all aspects of that college and know the kid has #1) a great chance of playing early, #2) Can get the degree they are looking for, and #3) they are gonna be able to survive college life at that particular school. Its always important for a coach/parent to be realistic with their players/child so that bad decisions arent made when choosing a college. I think we would see alot less of this if ppl did it this way. Example: Ben Bowling chose Tulane Unverisity I think everyone in eky knew it was a bad choice and he problem wouldnt make it there long. I mean, come on its basically downtown Bourbon street. THINK PPL!!!!!!
