Of course UK offers the preferred walk on crap, always playing on in-state kids' loyalty. I'd tell them to stick it and go play somewhere that actually has the stones to give an offer. There have been situations a preferred walk on was done because the individual was receiving an academic scholarship, which is more understandable. If UK football were a perennial powerhouse this might be justified. If truly interested, show the in-state kids some respect and maybe UK wouldn't lose some of the others to the Alabamas of the world. Show some loyalty to receive it back .

WKU and Murray State does the same thing to local kids. I'm not sure about UofL, Morehead, and EKU.

By the sounds of it, the kid has impeccable characteristics. He's played in a winning atmosphere with a program that seems to do things right. These factors should be heavily weighed in what a player would bring to the college program. IMO it would offset the fact he isn't 6'2" as some have pointed out.

Anyway, good luck to this young man in whatever decision he makes.
