Interesting to see JD dip into Kentucky to get a recruit, i think it might be a first. He usually seems to stay in the states of Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Missouri to get his high school recruits.

Regarding the Kentucky recruit, I put all the OVC cities into a triangulation calculator and came up with the geographic center (little red dot) of the conference.  Note I excluded Little Rock, 1 because they are leaving and 2 my tool allowed only 10 cities.  So interestingly, the center is very close to the intersection of the Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky borders.  Yep, the recruiting climate is trending southward.  From my perspective, letting family and friends travel to more of your games is always good for business.

From my research she looks like a top ten 2026 recruit in the state of Kentucky.  Nice improvement in stats over years.
