I see a lot of guys from a lot of programs finding new teams. Some really high level guys. But seems to be real quiet from the UK side. I know a lot is probably going on behind the scenes. Just wondering if anyone is hearing if UK is targeting anyone to fill some needs. Especially seeing who we are starting to lose.
Any Incoming Portal news for UK?
- Thread starter maysvilleky
- Start date
I think classes start next Mon(10th), one would think we should be hearing something soon.
I read elsewhere that there were a couple of guys we can have right now but we are holding them off because we are pursuing “ bigger fish” . Matt Jones reiterated today about the Big12 defensive back “supposedly “ on the way . tifwiw.
Not sure why we would hold them off. Looks like we are going to lose a ton more than we are going to add thru the portal. Plus we aren’t getting any surprise returnees. So at this rate UK will be several players below the roster limit going into the Feb signing period. And if we add from there it will wind up being inexperienced dudes.
We might have some faith in the staff by now.
We are going to add for fit/need and want to (if they want to work). Nothing to get fearful over. It's the 6th of January.

If it’s after spring practice wouldn’t it be guys that are getting beat out of the playing rotation? Will UK find the help they need if it’s from that group? That’s why I’m concerned they aren’t getting high level guys now.
Here's something to consider... aren't the choicest portal entries likely to be kids who pass through Spring practice before realizing they are one spot further down the depth chart than they are willing to accept? In good programs, these are kids at least as good as the kids we might lose, and sometimes better.
I share the expressed concern about our ability to backfill all these departures, but think we might be (1) waiting a bit for Spring entries, (2) expecting some of the current UK players will take themselves out, and (3) playing our cards close to the vest after the recent experience with the Syracuse kid who was apparently announced before admissions had cleared him for registration (?). Seems educational privacy concerns might be drying up info? Kids can register at any time before the add drop deadline, unless my memory of these things has failed, so we might need that date beyond just looking at Monday.

well if it's from Bama or GA type programs could be very productive players for us
