It may seem a little early to start this thread, but I am not convinced that is the case. Sometime between this summer and next March, UK's coaches will receive their first 2022 verbal commitment.

Grant Bingham, OL, Paintsville, KY

This is fantastic. Thanks for the time and effort you spend putting this stuff together.
 
The 22 in-state class is shaping up to really something or has the potential to be. And not to get far ahead, but it seems like Michigan and Ohio both have solid classes in 22 as well. Could have a special class
 
Selah Brown seems to be either Louisville or Tennessee.
That would be Louisville's only decent in state signee in the last 3-4 years. Not sure any of they have a chance with any of the other top guys. We seem to be trending well in for the 2022 class.
 
UK's coaching staff has offered a scholarship to 6'5" QB Caden Veltkamp out of South Warren hs in Bowling Green. He sure looks the part. Already receiving some nice camp invites. Interesting 2022 instate class shaping up.

Looks so young; I thought he was a 6th grader when I first saw him! LOL (at myself)!!!

I could be wrong, but what I have seen suggests Brown really likes UT. I am sure Satterfield will recruit him hard, but I think UL has some ground to make up. I'm not sure UK's offer is committable, but it might be.

Grant Bingham from Johnson Central is a hoss. 4A state champs last year with a good chance to repeat. From what I've read, his grandfather, James Allen, played at UK.
 
Transfer U has an unbelievable hype machine, all their players and commits are All Americans. That probably doesn't hurt them at all.

I wouldn't mind that much being a three star signing with them, instant All American.

Uggh, sick to my stomach, what a lie, I wouldn't mind being a three star signing with them.

I think it will be very difficult for any other program to beat out UK for Bingham. I expect him to play for UK and possibly even become an early commit. The question is going to be whether he is an SEC OG or OT. We can guess, but it will need to get settled in practice.
 
Just FYI Gavin Wimsatt, QB, Owensboro, KY got a ratings bump on 247 to Top 50 at #37 Nationally, #1 in Kentucky and #2 Dual QB Nationally
Yea he's not been offered by any of the big boys yet but they will start calling soon. The state of Kentucky actually has 2 good QB prospects. Wimsatt and Caden Veltkamp.

The other website has Kelvin Gilliam setting an announcement date as a headline story; very odd if KY is not the pick or at least a finalist. Any ideas?

I noticed there was a Tyler Wimsatt from Owensboro in 2006 that committed to Louisville. 3 star athlete, any relation?

The other site, lol, also doesn't show UK on the warm category. He had UK in his top 6 or 8. As Rock said it looks like Oklahoma
 
If he commits early, then UK could clean up in a strong home state recruiting class in 22.
My hunch is that Gavin Wimsatt probably ends up at UK, but maybe not as an early commit. It will be interesting to see what happens if Caden Veltkamp wants to commit early to UK, as he wouldn't be easy to turn down with that long frame and big time arm. I think Wimsatt is the better fit for Coach Gran's offense, but any program signing Veltkamp will have a very interesting, high upside prospect.
 
Interview with four star Selah Brown. In-state kid and surely will be one of UK's top targets. Seems to want to try and stay close to home and said UofL, Tennessee, and Purdue are standing out to him right now. Seems similar to OX's recruitment, in the way a lot people thought he was Tennessee bound, I look for the staff to make him a priority and be there until the end.

I read somehwere that Veltkamp's father was a strength and conditioning coach for WKU. Not sure if this factors into his decision at all.

Selah Brown has been offered. Because he is a ranked player from Male High School in Louisville, they would take him. Looks like a good player at an important position. Whether he is a priority, that is another question. UK not being near the top of his list might be because he is a UL fan, or it might be because he is not a top priority for Stoops. Little early to tell.

He is big on UL and UT. Stoopsbid dad interested but he isn't interested in UK from what is being said
