I know Burchett wasn't very interested in what the smaller schools had to offer. His eye was D1 and most thought either Duke or Miami-OH would end up offering, but never did. Purdue, Duke, Wake Forest, and possibly a few other D1 schools told Michael he could walk-on. But from my understanding if he is going to walk-on anywhere, it would be at UK.

Austin McKinney on the other hand was very interested in playing at a small NCAA school. I think he visited Thomas More, but I don't know the outcome of that visit. I think he was interested in Centre also.

As to the bolded part, alittle info. from a coach that recruits in the area of Cincinnati at a D1 school. He has said that he is responsible for keeping up with 150 players as possible recruits. When it all boils down, he has said he is lucky if 5 of them are given offers. Now he is only one of probably 6 coaches for this school that are also recruiting.

The point that I am trying to make is that many schools recruit alot of kids but there are very few that actually receive that D1 offer.

Just curious if anyone knows the number kids that actually were offered and accepted D1 offers of the '09 class in Kentucky.

Personnally I think parents as well as players get a little too carried away with thinking that their son is going to get a D1 offer. They aren't that generously handed out as you may think. I think it is tough on the parents and even tougher on the player when that offer doesn't come their way.
