** Time to start talking more about Joshua Josephs, a three-star linebacker from Kennesaw (Ga.) North Cobb.
I've been asking around and basically there are some who believe that Josephs could be this year's Trevin Wallace. They're different players. Josephs is longer and leaner. Wallace probably more of an instant impact guy. He may be more of an edge defender, although I think he will be able to be molded to pretty much any linebacker spot as well.
Kentucky's got a good shot and I do expect him to visit this summer. The question is what other offers Josephs is ultimately going to get. Some believe he could get all the way up to a Georgia offer. But it's just not known at this point.
Have heard some chatter that he may be one of the more underappreciated players in the country.
** Tyreese Fearbry is another top edge defender. The four-star prospect is probably one of Pitt's top couple of recruiting priorities and right now he's planning to officially visit Pitt (June 4), Kentucky (June 11), Penn State (June 18), and Auburn (June 25). Apparently Kentucky has been getting really good feedback from him.
** Did not mention South Florida o-lineman Daughtry Richardson in yesterday's edition of Insider Notes but I should have and he remains very high on their board.
So to sum that up one more time, without making a distinction with tiers/preferences, it seems that UK's top remaining o-line targets are:
Kiyaunta Goodwin - COMMITTED
Grant Bingham - COMMITTED
Aamil Wagner - Officially visiting
Ryan Baer - Officially visiting
Grayson Morgan - Officially visiting
Daughtry Richardson - Officially visiting
Hunter McLain - Officially visiting
Drew Bobo - Officially visiting
Tegra Tshabola
Nikolas Hall
Of the eight remaining guys they need at least three. Don't think they will struggle to get there. Will dig into those options a little more in an upcoming story.
I do know that Kentucky has continued to keep up the communication with Baer even after the Notre Dame offer so it's not like the Irish involvement has completely and immediately upended his recruitment. However, still think it's going to be hard to get him.
** Can confirm that UK is still evaluating the portal for receivers, inside, and outside linebackers respectively. The biggest priority is probably outside linebacker.
