Not a loss there. Kentucky can do much better.
I don't want us to act like Tennessee fans whenever we got the Wade twins. If he's going to an SEC school for football, he's pretty good. Also, I don't like a Kentucky kid going to Tennessee... icky.
I'm not a sour grapes guy ever. Let me ask you, have you watched his film? I have. Multiple times. And quite frankly, I'm stunned he has the offers that he does.
I have. He's not bad. I have no idea what their coaches see in him but unless they're being petty and trying to have a "gotcha" moment to the Kentucky staff since we offered not that long ago.
Seems his offers to the big schools came after he camped. So, it may be that the coaches saw his potential that had not yet been realized. I was thankful that UK did not offer just because UT did and waited for his visit and camp. How long has Perry lived in Kentucky?
Kentucky and Tennessee were the two that offered after camping. With that said, camping and playing actual football with pads and helmet are quite different things. The main thing that concerned me when watching Perry's tape is his aggressiveness or lack thereof as a guy who projects to LB. I also don't see SEC level explosiveness or quickness in him. Maybe his best football ahead of him, but I just think Kentucky can do better and get more of a sure thing. Not to mention, aggressiveness is generally just something you either have or you don't. It is an innate skill and hard to coach that into someone. Anyway, this is my reasoning for saying he is no big loss. I'm not a sour grapes guy and will always try to back up a statement with reasoning.
Rock 78, did we offer Kalib Perry ? If so, why would a kid 15 minutes from lexington pick UT ?
Aggressiveness can be taught but too much will get you Jordan Jones, as we all saw.
Eh, I don't know about that. Aggressiveness is a personality trait, a mindset and generally you are either wired that way or you aren't. Regardless, I just don't SEC level player with this kid.
Trust you on this because you’ve been consistent from the very beginning. I mean we can all end up being wrong (even the best talent evaluators-which I am not) so if he turns out to be good then congrats to him & we just missed out on one…but as of right now I’m not worried about losing out on him.

Tyler Banks is a name I'm familiar with. He's flying under the radar a bit. Think VaTech has some interest.
And he's still giving him workouts and on the regular and they talk daily. So yes he's still recruiting him. Except what he's really doing is keeping him in the pocket while he angles for bigger fish.
That's why I said if he doesn't end up at Michigan, it will be a shame. Because he left a known great opportunity in hopes of an offer that may never come.
I've always said that. Something you either have or don't have. Watched too many kids growing up, you see something at a younger age and just know.
2022 UK Commitments
Alex Afari, ATH, West Chester, OH
Grant Bingham, OL, Paintsville, KY
Kiyaunte Goodwin, OL, Charlestown, IN
Josh Kattus, TE, Cincinnati, OH
Treyveon Longmire, DB, Corbin, KY
Jackson Smith, K, Danville, KY
Andre Stewart, DB, Snellville, GA
Destin Wade, QB, Spring Hill, TN
Keaten Wade, LB, Spring Hill, TN
Nikolas Hall, OT, Austin, TX
Jordan Anthony, ATH/WR, Tylertown, MS
As expected we lose Caldwell from MI A Clink Recruit. Highly rated, but our current apparently didn’t try to hard to keep him. Anyway, a ST hit to rankings. Assume staff will replace. Let’s just hope our two dumb assistants get lined in or out quickly.

I would agree. I'm a fan of both, but football seems like a better NIL for kids to me. Who knows how it plays out.
Early, Rowland indicated yes. Beyond that I'm not sure. They maybe didn't bother extending a committable offer because they knew we were just a backup plan. If so, I think that was absolutely the right move.
Clink screwed us and I know he'll be getting screwed around himself soon enough.
Rowland said about a month ago they weren't happy with the talent level of one of their current recruits. He wrote today that he was talking about Caldwell. That seems to jive with Caldwell saying he hadn't heard from UK in months.
Rock said in an interview that Caldwell said that since that workout and visit, that he had hardly spoke to Michigan and hadn't spoke to UK. He went to MSU this weekend

Still love our O-line class. Rock, do we know if Goodwin is still taking his visits this fall? I thought he wanted to get on different campuses for game weekends. Wondering how we feel about holding on to him.
