Pikeville's incoming freshmen all should be sophomores, they were held back a year. The big kid from Elkhorn City (Jake McClanhan) who will be enrolling at East Ridge is a good looking prospect. He is 6-6 and he can play. Pikeville has tried to recruit him to go alone with Devan Adams (South Floyd), Clevinger (Pike Central), Jordan Bell (Shelby Valley), and Tim Honaker (Betsy Layne), I'm sure I missed a few more. Is Pikevile's talent pool that weak that they have to recruit other kids from other schools?

Pikevilles talent pool is not that weak that they have to recruit. They don't recruit. These are just smart kids who wanted to get out of a bad situation at these county schools. Bart and his staff aren't recruiting neither is anyone else in the school. I would also say that not only Pikevilles freshmen were held back, but about every team in the 15th has hold back kids.
