** Mi'Quise Grace is a huge addition for Kentucky. They evaluated him against Power Five competition, namely Wisconsin and Pitt, and he played really well in those games. One big factor in taking all the non-power conference guys they have taken is how they've fared against the most talented teams they have faced. Georgia made a serious run at the end but Kentucky held them off.

** Grace is in the ballpark of 260 pounds and I am hearing he will be a defensive end at Kentucky, likely to play the position Octavious Oxendine played. Has run a 4.56/40 yard dash. Those around Grace have said Marrow made a huge impact.

** Arkansas landed TE Rohan Jones from Montana State. He was going to visit Kentucky after that but they opted to move in other directions with their numbers and are okay with Mikkel Skinner being the hybrid this year if they use one.

** Tru Edwards is eager to commit to Kentucky but they don't know his status in terms of eligibility. Will be interesting to see how it will play out but he is pressing ahead and apparently intent on making a decision either tonight or tomorrow. Folks close to Edwards have said he is enamored with Kentucky. He may try to inform the staff. They have already been in contact. If he goes somewhere else it was UK not being willing to wait on the eligibility question but the talk today has been that he likes Kentucky the most. So take that for what it's worth.

** Also hearing Kentucky stands a great chance to land NCSU nickel Tamarcus Cooley. As of right now they are the school to beat. Will they have to take his brother from GT? TBD, heard they might as of the most recent check. He isn't on the level of Tamarcus, for what it's worth.

** As for Shiyazh Pete, have also heard Kentucky is in good shape there. The timetable I've heard is the next three to five days but I'll update that.
