Brandon Jennings is another LB UK offered in HS transferring from Maryland. He was a high 4 star out of HS
Attempting to add some substance to the discussion of upcoming transfers
- Thread starter Rembrandt90
- Start date
True. I don't think our coaching staff is recruiting him, but I would like to be wrong.
Have they offered Enzo. I know clink recruited him hard. I think UK finished 2nd to PSU the 1st go around
True that. UK reportedly finished second to PA St. UK did not stop recruiting him after he verballed to PA St either. Our coaches tried to flip him. Stoops wanted him bad as a FS. UK would be one logical, obvious place for him to transfer. MI could be another.
UK is losing both starting safeties and Quandre Mosely to graduation and Moses Douglass to the transfer portal. I don't know what Brad White and Enzo have discussed, but this is such an obvious fit that it would be difficult to imagine a lack of interest from either side.
I agree completely. He didn't get a single snap after his suspywas up, and the coaches didn't mention injuries a single time AFAIK.
What's all this fuss about? The thread is about possible inbound transfers. Just stick with that because it is important and interesting. If you are worried about former players, start a different thread about them.

We should see a new way of portal entries as these bowl games are played/canceled. I would imagine that Stoops and co have a few inside tracks to some of them. We really need to add more to our Defensive backfield. Can the young guys at WR sway the coaching staff from getting another Ready Wide Receiver? Imo, I think we need to add another WR
It could be that the staff has seen some things these past few weeks from younger players that changed their perception of need. For example, the talk was that CLew was impressing and showing signs of turning the corner. That could change the perceived need for another portal WR. With the Lewises, Magwood, and possibly Crowdus getting more snaps with Epps and Ali out, there may be flashes that demonstrate less of a transfer need.
Dontay Hunter entered the transfer portal this week. This could be interesting. For those who might not remember, Hunter was recruited for UK by Coach Marrow out of Westerville Central hs in Westerville, OH. Hunter was receiving multiple crystal ball predictions for UK but then unexpectedly committed to Purdue. Now he is leaving Purdue. I bring this up because Hunter is a 6'5" 240# edge defender, and Coach Stoops has said he is looking for more edge defenders in the portal.
UK was Hunter's only reported SEC offer but he received at least five B10 offers and several others from eastern Power 5 schools. IDK if UK will get involved with him again, but he might be able to fill a need on our defense if both sides are still interested.

Did Hunter play much at Purdue? I don't think I have ever watched Purdue play. Maybe a few min flipping thru the channels against OSU or something
Still waiting on the DB from the BIG 12 that Matt Jones said was coming here.
You will see his dad become an analysis very soon, don't think he will ever take a snap for UGA. But he won't be the only one in the class who won't so It isn't a huge deal. But not too many are thrilled with it. Bobo, Muschamp and Kirby are 3 best friends kind of deal, Muschamp got so much from his buyouts he is willing to pay his kid's way, Bobo not so much.
I hope he is right. He just comes across as a UK fan boy. I hope I'm wrong but I think this is more wishful thinking. I feel like this is more like a UK fan hoping he will be that good. WanDale is one of the best wr to ever play at UK. Those shoes will be hard to fill
Robinson played in a limited passing attack, but still had over 550 yards. He is also probably a better PR. I doubt anyone matches WR1’s stats, but I think TR is a very good get.

Hope he has a great year. He would have likely been on the field for UK next year, but probably as a backup.KD McDaniel to UCF

I agree with that. We definitely need him and he should do good

True that.
As everyone knows, this time of year the list of names in the transfer portal grows longer almost every day. And as most people here know, Coach Stoops is still looking for receivers, edge defenders, and DBs.
I have been periodically updating this thread with new names in the transfer portal who previously received UK scholarship offers when coming out of hs. Here is another update. These players formerly received UK offers and are currently available for transfer invitations.
Bryce Austin, DL, Purdue
Tyler Baron, DL, TN
Dee Beckwith, ATH, TN
Andy Boykin, DL, AR
Devin Bush, CB, AR
Kenneth Dicks III, DB, WF
Darrion Henry-Young, DL, OH St
Kobe Hudson, WR, Auburn
Dontay Hunter, LB, Purdue
Jadon Jackson, WR, Ole Miss
Shocky Jacques-Louis, WR, Pitt

To me, it's interesting how quickly Baron was in and out of the portal. I wonder if UT gave him a raise.
That may have been what happened… but it’s totally in bounds nowadays
Ky should do the same if one of our big guns wants To look around
I have seen more than one poster say that. The name/image/likeness rule does not authorize schools to pay players. Players may sign endorsement deals with businesses so that a business can pay them for use of their name, image, or likeness. In fact, this is being done at UK.
Schools still cannot pay players for their commitments or to keep them. A booster can offer an endorsement deal to a player if the booster owns a legitimate business and the player's endorsement is also legitimate. I am not suggesting a team of NCAA investigators is closely investigating and verifying each and every endorsement. Eventually, though, they will have to, or else the whole thing will melt down into a failed system in which most schools will be on the outside looking in, and boosters and bookies will run the successful athletic departments. Only a matter of time.

He was literally recruited by everyone. From the Cincy area, UK should have a decent shot at him.
Here’s a link to the print story, also addressing the “in/out” of Tyler Barron.
Kentucky Football Hosts Ohio State Transfer Darrion Henry-Young
There is no offseason for Kentucky. UK is hosting former Ohio State Buckeye Darrion Henry-Young just before the spring semester begins.
Anthony Romphf, DB, Purdue
West Weeks, LB, VA
Romphf and Weeks both received offers from UK coming out of hs.
This weekend, Dontay Hunter has transferred to OH U.

Darrion Henry-Young was recruited by Vince Marrow out of Princeton hs in Cincinnati, but he signed in OH St's 2020 class. Since then, Stoops has put UK's football program in a stronger position to attract players like Henry-Young. Many college programs in the area will try to convince him to transfer. But since Henry-Young is visiting UK, we can be cautiously optimistic. Our 3-4 defense would be a great fit for him, as long as he is willing to share the position with Rybka. Henry-Young's name appeared on this thread last week as a transfer possiblity.

I'm sure his McDonald's value meal got supersized.
Agree it reads as DE all the way. Doesn’t look like Analee is impressive as he’s been jumped by Rybka and Gibson beat him out before transferring
I think it's too early to form conclusions about Anaele. Anaele's career is just getting started. If Henry-Young transfers to UK, then Anaele could have a problem getting onto the field. But if Anaele gets onto the field and gets opportunities to play, I think he will continue to develop and become a good player. He isn't going to beat out Rybka, but that is a different discussion.
