OP didn't post this on Miami board FWIW.

Lewis is a big deal.

Lewis is a HUGE upgrade over Dinson. From size to athleticism to ball skills. He played wr so he knows tendencies and was a very good wide out. Really really really hope he picks Blue. Would be HUGE for this class and recruiting momentum.

Kid is an absolute stud, has the potential to lead our secondary to great things. C'mon Marcus Lewis, BBN is waiting for you!

Actually he did on their pay board, within minutes of posting here, their free board is pretty dead.

this dude is a must

I really hope he commits to us. Would be a huge get for us.

If he comes here and works hard he has a really good chance of starting at field corner next season IMO. He could be a 3/4 year starter and become a very high draft pick under Stoops' tutelage.

Who is our lead recruiter on Lewis?

 

[O C-A-T-S 06]

^Pretty sure its Mainord. He is the east coastal guy, but I'm sure Ansley is there putting in work too. Can't forget his other recruiter, Jabari.

Thanks. Hopefully we get him. Looks like that would put us at 3 recruits from the D.C. area for this class.

Could become another home away from home like Ohio.

We need some good news at this point. Not been a good past few days for us.

I'm not sure all the doom and gloom is justified.

At one time we were losing recruits to Mid American teams, it is no disgrace to lose players to programs like Michigan, OSU, and the U.

Most of these recruits weren't highly regarded when UK put them in the spotlight with their offer, seems like our staff Is proving they know how to spot and analyze talent. Very important for a program coming from where we are coming.

We traded a DB prospect for a better DB prospect in a lot of fans opinion.

We lost a good DT prospect and signed a bigger and better one, in most evaluations.

Ulizio was not just a two star recruit, he was (and is so far) a 5.3 two star, and now a traditional power with a big name coach offers him. We have 8 of 10 of our two deep OL returning with the highest rated OL prospects we have ever had joining the team this year, with an even more impressive group committed or very interested in the 16 class.

We have a VERY impressive JC WR prospect with three years of eligibility left that seems to want to commit, but we are holding him off, sounds like they must think we are in pretty good shape there.

We OBVIOUSLY have a VERY good recruiting staff, why not wait and see how it turns out? You don't win all the battles when you are competing for talent with the programs we are now, Auburn, the U, OSU, Michigan, and Bama, but we won't know how all of them turn out until the LOIs are signed. And we already have a VERY good class that seem to be solid commits, and who knows what other talent they are high on that they could be keeping under wraps? We were averaging less than ONE four star per year this century before Stoops, and about half of them didn't make it here or did little to nothing when they did get here.

Too early to get too discouraged, I think most of our commits now will be overachievers instead of underachievers.

I would guess stoops in handling this recruitment priority?

I think he meant to put this on HOB, actually.
