We have talked before about the uncanny ability of Ricco Hughes (Kentucky Future Stars Director) and Josh Jones (Tennessee Future Stars Director) to identify Middle School players destined to become High School stars and, many times, Saturday players. An impressive 15, 2020 kids, who played in the 2016 Tennessee-Kentucky Future […]
Well you had to see this coming. Hopkinsville lost 4 out of 5 of its starting offensive line from last year’s 10-2 team and the fifth elected not to play before the team got out of Summer drills. Hopkinsville’s two most potent offensive weapons, Jalen Johnson and Steven Cager, […]
This article is about a player who possesses a skill set that is just terrific. I have before labeled him one of my Fantastic Four. The Fantastic Four are the four rising freshmen in Kentucky I believe to be the best overall in the 2021 class (LaVell Wright, William Long, Justice Thompson, and […]
This is our final installment (Part 5) of our series on Plug-In Players. I know we have been over this before but the criteria to be considered a true Plug In Player is a freshman player (2021) who is either starting, week one, or almost certain to start by year’s end, meaning […]

Before I explain that, can someone explain to me how the referees can call offsetting procedure and encroachment penalties? More on the referees later. This morning I published an article entitled Game Day…our prediction. In […]
I was privileged to travel to Murray, Kentucky and spend the day with the Kentucky Future Stars for their first three practices. In the morning, they were in only helmets, went with uppers in the afternoon session and then were full gear, full contact for the evening session. I am […]
My friend, Bret Cooper requests I publish this here in recognition of the tremendous amount of Kentucky players we have who are capable of selection for this game. The game is played annually in Dallas, TX. Kentucky had two players play for the East All-Americans, who won the 14-under game […]
Prestonburg, Kentucky’s Cameron Willis, in the molds of both William Long from Hopkinsville, Kentucky and Seth Henderson from the 2020 edition of the Kentucky Future Stars Team, is pretty much the quintessential interior offensive lineman. Cameron is also the reigning State Wrestling Champion in his weight class in the Commonwealth […]
