99% of kids in eastern KY simply don’t have the work ethic it takes to be a Division 1 or 2 player.  Don’t really have the work ethic to play on good NAIA teams.  Lots of students here try to play 2/3 sports also.  Just don’t see that happening these days and being able to play at a high level.    Most of all the parents in this area dont have a clue as to what it takes.  You can still work your whole life like a dog and you still will not get that opportunity for money at one of the D1 or D2 schools.  Hope you  have a connected coach or AD.  99 percent here have zero connections.  Sometimes it’s who you know.  Lots of talented kids have been looked over in this area.

I don’t think it’s work ethic. It’s more athleticism and overall talent. Just because you can score 50 on a 15th region opponent, doesn’t mean you’re going to perform at a D1 program. And that’s not a knock on anyone aspiring to be a D1 player but what most of those guys bring to the table far exceeds anything we see in this area. Fact is if you want to actually play and are coming from the 15th, your best bet is to not go the D1 route because we don’t really have true D1 players.
