Pikeville has been doing the same thing with recruiting for decades. I’ve never seen anyone leave them off of rankings because someone doesn’t like it. Lol! The issue is that KY is the only state left that doesn’t have a class system for basketball or baseball. If they did that then you’d be able to do a different type of ranking.

The way Hometown Sports is presenting it they should have a legit list with everyone available to be on it. Otherwise there should be a disclaimer that says “WE TRY TO RANK EVERYONE BUT TEAMS IN OUR LOCAL AREA WILL BE RANKED FIRST. ALSO TEAMS WITH ANY CONNECTION TO HOMETOWN SPORTS WILL ALSO BE RANKED AHEAD OF OTHER TEAMS REGARDLESS OF RECORD!” Haha!

Kentucky has the all A and all AA in both sports which is for the small schools to be able to have their shot. I like the no class especially in basketball because you get to see who really is the best and it’s not as advantageous in basketball as other sports. For example, Lyon County is a super small school but has 5 studs who can compete with anyone in the state. In basketball you don’t need 25 great players like in football. You just need 4 or 5 and you can make a run

I’ve heard that before but at the end of the day one school gets to pick from 2,000 kids and the other gets to pick from 200 enrollment. Yet they play for the same trophy? Nothing about that makes sense.
