I can name one of them. Asher, who moved from Indianapolis, played for UofL and the Redskins.

Precisely on Jamie Asher of NFL fame. Didn't play football at Clay County, but did suit up for the basketball team. Very, very deep family ties to the area [unless people were faking being his cousins for decades as part of a very deep conspiracy at least].


The other was Dante' Wade who played (and started) at Providence but was declared ineligible at some point. Can say with certainty [if it's within the rules here] that he had family members that were also enrolled in the school system and that had jobs within the community [which would seemingly be outside the purview of the staff when it came to hiring] as well.

Remember seeing Dante as a little kid and the dude was like a superhero-- talk about a dunk contest during warm-ups; I don't know if I've seen many others dunk a basketball that hard. Many friends and classmates played on the same grade school football team as one of his close family members and if anyone in the community had anything negative to say about them, I can honestly say that I haven't heard it personally.

Don't want to get into too much of a morass here [by comparing to other present situations], but if it were today, I'd seriously doubt that his eligibility would have ever been called into question.
