State of 2022 Recruiting

I think Dane Key has been a solid commit for a while now. Would be shocked if UK is not the choice.

Also, could have swore I read somewhere that roster can be I think the 92 players area. Maybe i was dreaming, but thought i read that because of Covid NCAA allowed rosters to expand by a few. If that is the case (I may be wrong), there will be room for some surprise additions no matter the roster shakeout.

Nope. They need to, but no official announcement that I'm aware of. You can play games with grayshirts, blueshirts, kick the can down the road a little bit, maybe that's what you're talking about. I'm pretty sure that's what Alabama is doing.
 
In a long anticipated policy change, the NCAA will allow official campus visits again starting in June. Here is a list of uncommitted 2022 prospects who have already scheduled official campus visits to UK. Therefore, expect UK's next couple of verbal commitments to most likely come from this list.

Ryan Baer, OL, Eastlake, OH, June 18

Drew Bobo, OL, Columbia, SC, June 25

Quinton Conley, WR, KS City, MO, June 11

Tyreese Fearbry, LB, Pittsburgh, PA, June 11

Hunter Mclain, OG, Daleville, VA, June 25

Grayson Morgan, OL, Nashville, TN, June 25

D'Arco Perkins-McAllister, DB, Nashville, TN, June 11

Daughtry Richardson, OL, Miami, FL, June 18

Aamil Wagner, OL, Dayton, OH, June 11

At this point, I am thinking Conley and Richardson might be looking good for UK.

Looking out into a longer timeframe, if Dane Key is down to UK, SCar, and OR as some sources have been reporting lately, then I have to like UK's chances to sign him eventually.
D'Arco Perkins-McAllister of Nasville just got a crystal ball to Tennessee with only a 4 confidence.
 
Yes they will. Especially interesting for UK now that they have to replace a top recruiter in Clinkscale and may have to find a new WR coach also. It is mid May, so I'm sure they want all staff moves completed by the end of the month.

Well you can’t get them completed until 10 days after posting so CMS needs to get to posting!
 
I've been depressed the last few days with all the things going on in our program.

Someone give me good news.

2023 recruit but UK offered '23 TX QB Bo Edmundson, he plays at Baker Mayfield's high-school. Former UK GA Coach Tommy Mangino is the Offensive Coordinator/QB Coach there.
 
Garrett Gilbert preceded Baker there. He has been on a few rosters as a back up/practice squad guy for a few years now.

I say go get him!
 
We are neither UT nor are we U of L.

Everyone needs to get a grip. Our class is top 10 currently, and everything is pointing upward.

Yeah, the Bouknight deal is bad, but look around. Hardly worth lost sleep compared to the weekly news from Knoxville.
Yeah. Tennessee lost one of their best recruiters to Michigan. Wait. My bad. Read that wrong. We took one of theirs.

One of Michigan's best recruiters joing the vol staff will certainly keep me awake at night. At some point it will become painfully clear that all the coaches arent poor recruiters, in fact Vols were boasting about getting a great recruiter when Pruitt was hired. Who wants to live in Knoxville when they have other options , couldnt even pay kids to live there.

I’m not talking to UGA. Y’all are the best in the East. There’s zero reason you should lose to UF, USC or really anyone outside of Bama or Clemson in the country. You do though. Congrats on being a UGA fan tho.

I don't get why people even want to argue about this. I like a good sports debate as much as anyone, but at this point arguing Kentucky v. Tennessee is similar to arguing Kentucky v. Murray State- that question has been answered and the programs are heading in drastically different directions.

Kentucky v. Missouri or Florida is at least debatable. Tennessee v. ETSU is at least a discussion. But Tennessee will not win more than the occasional game against Kentucky for the next 20 years.

We even lost to UCF North 4-5 years ago. Lost 1 game to a team not in the playoff hunt the last 4 year. At least you finally presented some facts and not hopeful speculation that the Vols are going to score 40+ a game and 6 wins is the floor for 21.

Lol UF had 3 losses by the time playoffs were decided. They weren’t in the hunt. Nor was LSU in 2018.

Yes, but don't they pay a LOT? Isn't that what their problem is now?

UF was playing for the SEC championship in 20, if they won they were in, LSU was in the SEC championship if they had beaten Bama, but nice try on your part.

Shouldn't he be more worried about Thug Us chances?

Oh, forgot, there was no chance, and not for the near future either.

He is just trolling, but then I guess they don't have their own board any more.
 
You’d think UKs HC wasn’t 2-6 against him or something.
2-6 against who? Who is "him"? Try and use your words and go slowly. I can empathize that generations of inbreeding, poor diet, and the love of fat women have rendered your fanbase as dense as a post, but try and do your best BigPussy.

Vols have always been inbred. He is just hoping someone sucks as much as the Vols have for the last decade. Really why would anyone be a vol fan if they had an option, no one likes them and nothing sucks like a big orange.

Not sure who you are talking to then...no one seems to care.

maybe a good time for self reflection...

Ohio State is scared of letting a recruit come to little old Kentucky
A lot of teams are scared of the way this staff is recruiting and developing players. The 4 and 5 stars are figuring out they too will improve if they come here. The schools that used to just plug and play the "can't miss" recruits without developing them can't get by with that anymore while this staff is in Lexington
 
I don't know what is on Coach Stoops' mind in regards to Selah Brown, but I can probably guess.

Many are probably interested in Brown because he is a Kentuckian with a four star internet rating. But he might be an example of a star rating that does not match up well with a program's system.

All other things being equal, Coach Stoops would like to sign a high profile Jefferson County player who fits in his system. Particularly a Male hs player. Why not Brown?

For one thing, Brown is not a long-bodied athlete. If you look at the players Stoops recruits for his DL, he obviously likes long bodies. That is because long bodies can often be developed into bigger, more dominant players. Long bodies upfront work better in a 3-4 defense. Long bodies and arms facilitate interior tackling, batting down passes, and hand-fighting with offensive linemen. The only recent exception at UK has been Octavious Oxendine, but Oxendine has longer arms and more natural physical strength than Brown. I am not saying Brown cannot play Power 5 football. I am suggesting he might have some trouble with the current competition at UK, Rogers, Gibson, Hayes, Oxendine, Rybka, Dinkins.

There is also a practicality factor. Brown has named UK in his top 10. But if Stoops believes UK will not be his final choice, I couldn't blame him. Brown and his family are lifelong UL fans. By itself, that would not stop Stoops. But if Brown is not an ideal fit in his 3-4 defense, that might explain why UK is not actively recruiting Brown.

Stoops currently has at least 30 offers out to 2022 hs DT prospects. The guy he really wants is Mykel Williams from Columbus, GA. But there are some other interesting names on the list who might also be a good fit.

Thank you for ALL of this, Rembrandt! Was jonesin for some recruiting info. Very much appreciated
