With a bunch of elite dudes already in the pipeline, the next few years I'd like to experiment with dudes who are not elite and who get inserted into the pool in January/February and then get recruited late. Should be interesting to see where they end up.
So we'll look at non-elite guys from successful teams.

Since two of my created high schools won their regions for the first time ever, I'm going to identify a player from each that we can put into the college process.
From Stovall South, here's
SF Gerald Moorehead who didn't get to start until his senior year. Perfect guy to try to get recruited to a D1 program on a solid team.
Our 2nd and final recruit for this year -- we're going sparse this season -- is
C Ethan Stockdale from Mason Headley High School in Lexington. He's not a fringe recruit, he'll get a lot of attention but I figure a big man is hard to find and at this point, we've established Kentucky as one of the best recruiting states in the country so we'll jsut go with it.
Ok, okay one more. Knott County Central are two years removed from a state title. Timothy Smith is a bit player on that team, but has played in games though he's never started. Seems like the perfect kind of guy who thinks because he played on a state champ that he ought to get a chance to play at a D1 school and maybe he can? I'd be curious to see who'd sign him.
