State of 2022 Recruiting

[RDF922]

Antonio Gates Jr is not a take for Kentucky per JR and likely isn't a take for any of those schools, also per JR. And yes, it looks like Kentucky will be adding the commitment of Jordan Anthony in the coming days. High risk/high reward guy IMO.

Rock please explain regarding Jordan Anthony?

Rock please explain regarding Jordan Anthony?

I think Anthony is a bit raw as a receiver and at 160 lbs, he definitely has some filling out to do. That is the risk part. The reward part, well, you don't find many guys running a 10.21 in the 100, so the blazing speed is there. It's just all about how he develops and Kentucky/Coen's desire to add more speed and explosiveness to the receiver position.

Also, if you watch Antonio Gates Jr's film, he is very polished, runs great routes and has very strong hands. I like him very much, but apparently right now, the staff is just looking for guys that can really run. To me, Gates would be a safer bet to be a contributor, but Anthony has the potential to be a big star with that elite speed. Hope that answered your question and again, JMO.

 

[Rock_Cat78]

Let me also add, the Kentucky coaches saw both Anthony and Gates up close last month in camps.

 

[Caveman Catfan]

I think size is not a factor for Coen. In that regard, we have returned a bit to the Mumme WR corps days. I think Coen feels he can get WRs in space with the ball. Time shall tell.

It sure did.

Thanks

Always appreciate your takes. Is Anthony Kentucky’s plan B with Jeremiah Dillon committed elsewhere? Interesting that they’re both from MS. I wonder how hard Ole Miss is after Anthony.

Kentucky and Ole Miss would take/would have taken both guys.

Well, the last player we had who could “take the top off,” Jeff Badet, was hardly a monster.

Badet was listed by Rivals at 160 pounds in his profile.

 

[Canned Heat]

Antonio Gates gets 3 cb's to Michigan State this weekend. I assume he is a take for MSU.

 

[Canned Heat]

Josh Edwards of catspause cb's Auburn for Bobo.

I don't see recruiting picking up anytime soon. I also think Ole Miss gets Anthony as well. The suspensions of our coaches for acting like morons is biting us in the ass and the NIL is as well. Kids are seeing you can get more money at programs where they prioritize football.

NIL is geared toward the top programs AND home state stars staying home.

Big advantage for home state kids staying home. Name recognition is already there.

 

[Rock_Cat78]

Anthony to Kentucky tomorrow.

 

[vhcat70]

Anthony to Kentucky tomorrow.

Good get !! Thanks.

 

[The-Hack]

Good get !! Thanks.

A 160 lb player can add 15-25 pounds of good weight in 18 months.

If his speed is reported legitimately, he’ll be our fastest since Badet!!

 

[TuckyFB]

I'm glad I'm wrong. His offer list isn't elite and I'd like to know why but I'll take speed everyday.

Miss St

FSU offered about a week ago and Florida has been wanting him to visit. Now, with that said, he is pretty raw as a football player and will need development.

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

A high level QB and 5 to 7 super fast playmakers is our next step up. So this guy is a big get.

 

[TuckyFB]

Rivals needs to update their profiles more. FSU isn't listed.

How is he a raw talent? Just started playing football a few years ago?

Yep and track. He is very new to both sports.

TOS reports his offer from FSU.

 

[Canned Heat]

We better get Anthony or we need to get rid of these bad assistands quickly

 

[Canned Heat]

We need to
Quickly response

 

[Caveman Catfan]

Anthony to Kentucky tomorrow.

Recruiting about to pick up tomorrow?

 

[Rock_Cat78]

I wouldn't say that, but it will be a commitment at least, something they've only had one of since May 7th.

 

[SmedMoley]

That's fine, so long as we have the coaching to develope him. I'm not sold on Boozeknight.

 

[Dddjdd]

Interesting note, but Indiana has three top 25 players in Ohio, including top running back in the state. I think their new associate head coach might be emphasizing it.

 

[Canned Heat]

No surprise gates jr commits to MSU

 

[Grumpyolddawg]

Josh Edwards of catspause cb's Auburn for Bobo.

That really cant be surprising, his dad coaches there and a close family friend is the OL coach.

Yup, uk’s lack of traction with the the second rung players in Ohio (good players that osu ultimately passes on) has been really frustrating. These were guys that that Vince was having a lot of success with back in the day. Think guys like Mike Edwards, CJ Conrad, Darius west, etc..

 

[Caveman Catfan]

Anthony to UK. World class speed. Will also run track! Watching the Olympics and UK’s influence on Team USA probably did not hurt.

We have to keep this class together hopefully our on field games will allow us to do that. Rembrandt must be the coach who left to Michigan

I don't know about that. It would be weird if a coach actually did that and he was wrong about a lot of things that HOB members already knew.

Who are our updated remaining targets?
