Za'Darius Smith making an impression on the Ravens early on

Apparently doing very well already. Nice article by The Baltimore Sun.

Awesome! I hope all of our defensive line recruits read this. Come to UK and Mark Stoops and his crew will prepare you the same way they did Z and this could be you in a few years.

GO ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ !

Stoops and Elliot seem to have the DE position down cold. Very impressive. Good for Z.

I love seeing our guys having so much success. You have to also consider that Stoops/Elliot have yet to have a player for their full 4 or 5 years. Players such as Bjorn Werner, Bud Dupree, and Za'darius only played 2-3 years for these guys and honestly weren't as regarded coming out of High School as Hatcher, Ware, Kengera Daniel, and Alvonte Bell. Just imagine those 4 with a full 4-5 years with our coaches. I know, players develop at different rates and players like Bud are rare diamonds in the rough, but you can't help but be excited.

Uh - Bell is a Juco but I get your point.

I think Hatcher will be very good in his last two years at UK. He should play his way to the NFL. I think he and Daniel will solidify a trend of this staff being able to put players (specifically DE) into the league.
