With the early signing period beginning yesterday, we take a look at the numbers to date in regard to where Kentucky's Division 1 recruits in the class of 2013 are coming from and where they are headed.
A total of 33 players in the class of 2013 have already signed or will be signing Division 1 letters of intent with various schools.

Let's take a look at where the D1 signees are coming from:
- Lexington Catholic leads the way with 3 players signing to continue their careers at the Division 1 level.
- North Oldham has 2 players signing Division 1 letters of intent.
- Madison Central has 2 players signing Division 1 letters of intent.
- Holy Cross has 2 players signing Division 1 letters of intent.
- Henderson County has 2 players signing Division 1 letters of intent.
The following schools each have 1 player signing with Division 1 schools:
- Pleasure Ridge Park
- North Bullitt
- Montgomery County
- Murray
- Saint Xavier
- Green County
- Bishop Brossart
- Collins
- Owensboro Catholic
- Ashland Paul G Blazer
- DuPont Manual
- Tates Creek
- Kentucky Country Day
- Bullitt East
- Lexington Christian Academy
- Sayre
- North Laurel
- Franklin County
- Warren East
- Breathitt County
- Central Hardin
- Woodford County
A breakdown of the numbers shows that Kentucky high school players favor staying in state as 26 of the 33 Division 1 recruits in the early signing period have signed with in-state schools. Let's take a look at how many are headed where.
In-state schools
Kentucky - 7
Louisville - 5
Western Kentucky - 5
Eastern Kentucky - 4
Murray State - 3
Morehead State - 1
Northern Kentucky - 1
Out of state schools
Tennessee Tech - 1
Michigan - 1
Ohio - 1
Cornell - 1
Ball State - 1
Evansville - 1
Ohio State - 1
I think there are at least a few more Division 1 recruits to follow in the class of 2013 in the late signing period. We will re-visit these numbers after the high school season to get a better picture of where the state will end up in regards to Division 1 recruits.
