Jedrick Wills will be recruited hard by every top program in the east and the south. He could end up at a lot of places, but he won't end up in Knoxville.

 

[SaguaroCat]

What kind of prospect is wood? Do we have any interest?

 

[TheKentuckyKid]

He said the visit "went well" that doesn't really sound too good for Tennessee.

I grew up in Kentucky and bleed blue. I'd puke if I had to put on their jersey.

I keep hearing that but the fact it is a short drive away makes me consider UT a top out of state threat. jmo

I agree 100+%. I don't want to see any Kentucky kids wearing the orange.

Agree all the way.

How could a Kentucky kid smile dressed in a darn ugly orange jersey!

Like everyone else here, I would love for Wills to pick Kentucky. The kid already has scholarship offers from Alabama, Florida State, Florida, Notre Dame, Ohio State. Being realistic, I could see him going to Ohio State or Alabama. He isn't going to Tennessee. Take that to the bank. If he is willing to throw in with a rebuilding program on the rise, he will stay home and play for Stoops.

Anyone know this kid or his family? What's the vibe?

I don't know the family. I know some people at Lafayette. All I can tell you is that Wills is wide open. Like all highly recruited players, he has a decision to make whether to leave home and play for a ranked program or stay at home and help a rebuilding program in familiar surroundings. He is listening to the ranked programs, Alabama, Notre Dame, Ohio State. He is listening to Kentucky too. Don't expect an early decision. This may go down to the end.

Apparently his family is very pro-UK. That doesn't always mean the kid ends up where the parents want, but it doesn't hurt

Yep. They want him in Lexington at UK.

I'm sorry but it really doesn't sound like you know just what you think.

It wouldn't hurt UK's recruitment if we actually knew what is last name was.

Got that right, took 2 years for some to get "Pat Towels" name right.

I visited a prison once as part of an internship. Just say'in.

I went to a federal prison once too. Played a team they got up in flag football, we won too.

Not sure what the problem was that teoj had with BD's post, sounded like good info to me.

I didn't have a problem with his post just sounded like it was a rumor rather than info.

 

[Blue Decade]

LOL! Don't be sorry. I said I don't know the family. I only know what other people at Lafayette are saying. And like I told you, I think his decision will not be made early.

I hope Wills stay home at Kentucky, but it going to be hard to turn down Alabama or Ohio St.

Wood is a very underrated prospect . Has a strong arm, good speed, and is quick. He'll play Div one ball somewhere.
