** Liam Coen was supposed to visit Ryan Montgomery a week or so ago, I've heard, but it has been re-planned for tomorrow. He will be checking in on Montgomery on Monday. I still think it's probably a long shot to add Montgomery on the heels of Boley, Saunders, and Vandagriff (the last not really applying to Montgomery so much) but remember in the portal era you have to take the long view. Good to keep a close relationship and they love Coen, clearly interested in his job status at UK.
** As of last check it seemed like first or second weekend in April is the most likely date for the spring game. That has not been determined yet.
** Is there still a chance OC Liam Coen could end up somewhere else? Folks have been asking, there's just nothing new to report. There have been some situations (Ohio St, Cincinnati, Tennessee, etc) so you can't rule out the possibility, he is clearly well-respected. I do think you just have to accept that his name is going to continue coming up as long as these coaching situations are in flux, but at this point enough time/jobs have passed that the chances of him being back for another year seem much more likely.
** There have been rumors floating around about a possibility of Stone Saunders reclassifying to the 2024 class. I asked around and everybody told me that was news to them. At one point I wondered if that could be in the cards just to create a better depth chart situation, but as of right now it looks like they will probably evaluate the situation in the spring and determine if there's anybody else they should bring in.
** Haven't heard anything new on a pursuit of cornerbacks from the portal. They have obviously continued kicking the tires and a cover corner has to be the top remaining priority.
** There is a real possibility Eric Wolford brings in another OL or two from the portal. This is happening, confirmation on that and Yenser being out.
** Expecting Martels Carter Jr the top player in the state and pretty much all the other top players in the state to be at UK's junior day on Feb 3rd in addition to a strong contingent from other states. More on that as we get closer to this weekend. Colorado is a school I have wondered about with them. I guess Carter is related to a guy who is pretty tied in with Deion Sanders but you gotta think Kentucky's got a great shot given the relationship with Cutter Boley and him being in KY now.
