Two totally different types of receivers. I think UK takes two more regardless and obviously, Key is a prime target to be one.
State of 2022 Recruiting
- Thread starter Rembrandt90
- Start date
Are they only taking one more? I heard there was talk the ole miss recruit was gonna still come for a visit and could flip
Yeah, I mean UK sends out 300 plus verbal offers in a given recruiting class and only a handful will get written offers. If you follow things closely, you can usually tell who the top priorities are. Of course, things can change with certain guys over time. They either rise or fall on the staff's board depending on any number of factors.
We'll get Key if we have a reasonably competent offense. They are just waiting to see if we pass the ball anywhere close to balanced.
Football recruiting is kind of like dating when you were young. You have tiers. Top tier is is I'll drop anyone for you. Second tier is I'll take you to meet mom. Third tier is I'll spend money and take you away for the weekend or out for a big night with all my friends. Last tier is booty call material. Right now he's in the booty call zone, but if a few others back out of our dates, we can promote him up to weekend warrior and offer him a scholly.

I know that but maybe UK gets someone in the portal since thats an option now.
And the receiver board could totally open up if the passing game clicks as expected.

I'd say you can probably go ahead and scratch Quinton Conley and Ka'Marii Landers. Also, Omari Kelly committed to Auburn and Bryson Hurst committed to Ole Miss.
Is Northington now an immediate take? Seems I read that Settle offered another highly regarded RB. How many do we take in this class?
Kentucky wanted to watch him his first few games, which tells me he has work to do to be a take. They may not take a RB this year. We'll see.
Love this thread and the consistent updates! Thanks to all who participate.
Query: for those in the know, who r Uks most likely 2022 defensive commits? We may start 9/10 seniors on defense this year. Defensive recruiting seems to b lagging behind a bit in 2022. UKs roster is already a bit out of balance. Last I looked UK has like 10 more offensive guys on the roster than defensive guys. Primarily, non contributing WRs making up like 12-15 scholarship spots. tIA to any serious responses

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
We have 4-5 defensive commitments so far. Keaton and Stewart are top notch. DL seems hard to recruit this year but hopefully we can round out the class with one. Due to transfer I have no idea how many HS recruits we take. Maybe we pull a couple of lineman next year in the transfer portal.

We have visitors confirmed for tomorrow and next Saturday. IMO, some are simply waiting to see how we perform especially on the offensive side of the ball. Still a couple of months from early signing day so probably a few weeks out from seeing new commitments
Just seen Gavin Winsatt, is enrolling early and signing a 6 figure NIL deal
Not only enrolling early, but his high school career is done. Played his last game tonight.
Kentucky boosters businesses need to step it up. I guess I feared that NIL MAY not be the best for UK FB
UK stopped recruiting Wimsatt. This isn't a loss for us.
Our biggest businesses will go after bball first. That’s potentially the problem. The Wimsatt news is so bizarre to me. Play a couple games for your high school then start college on a random Monday in September? Times are changing but good for him on the NIL deal I guess.

The death of college sports is afoot with NIL. Wait and see where things are a few years from now.
Sorry, but it's truly how I feel. It might help a little bit once the NCAA or somebody comes up with uniform rules to govern the whole thing, but right now it's like the wild west, only worse.
Don't worry. There'll be some barbed wire soon. NCAA is probably fuming out the month they're not getting a cut of everything.
I posted the news. I honestly don't believe UK quit till they realized he was going else where. I wasn't posting it because UK lost but because of the nil news and him leaving HS after 2-3 games to enroll in college.
Rembrandt90 is ALIVE ! Saw him posting on the basketball board today. Though maybe COVID had gotten him !
I truly don't think the Bama's and OSUs of world will be able to help themselves, they will kill the spirit of the game. We already have some evidence of it with COA.
As of yesterday, UK should have put itself in a much stronger position for Key given the prolific passing attack and Coen's successful debut. Prior to that, the legal problems with Bouknight had to hurt our chances. Key has become an important recruit. Not a must get, not the most important in the class. But still very important. Key has SEC athleticism and will develop SEC size in a strength program. He is not a slot receiver. Coen needs to go get him.
Ok , my earlier post didn't age well. Our Offensive had to impress Dane Key. At least show him we lack depth, and he could contribute right away. Same Thing for Barrion Brown, although Bama is top of his list, maybe he can see playing time early and is close to Lexington being from Nashville.
