State of 2022 Recruiting

I think the concern about receivers at this point is a little premature. Levis got here late and didn't have a ton of time to get comfortable with everyone on the team.

I think Magwood is a budding star. He gets open and he will start making plays, I think going through the Spring and Summer building chemistry with Levis will be big for him.

Levis' growth will start making the receivers look better starting this year. For 3/4 of last year, Levis would either scramble or lock on with his primary. That started getting much better the last three games and should really get better in year two of running Coen's offense.
Levis and Wan'Dale had a heck of a year. Robinson was the only NFL level talent on the field at receiver. Why wouldn't you get him the ball as much as possible?

Look up Craig Yeast’s frosh numbers. I think he had a TD reception against UF.

Look at our stars from the last 50 years. They all “showed promise” early, but few truly shown their first year.
Are you asking Magwood to be Craig yeast? Magwood did fine for his freshman year. He was an inch away from making a heck of a catch in the bowl game. Kid is a gamer. We are young at WR but have a lot of talent in that room.
 
Magwood did some good things in the last half of the season for a true frosh. I think he makes a big play in the bowl if Levis’ pass was better placed. Remembering that the kid was a mister everything in HS and is still learning how to focus just on the WR position, I think another spring, especially with Levis, will be key. I suspect him to be a reliable part of the offense next season.
 
Magwood and Harris played in 8 combined games and had 12 catches between them

There is nothing to go by there, they didn't get targeted much at all to know if they would make an impact

Always destined to be an asinine take with your name attached
UK stats has Harris playing in 13 games with 12 catches for 150 yards and 1 TD. Magwood had one catch for 17 yards. The stat line for Magwood says he played 13 games. I am not sure that is correct.

We haven't had many receiving stars the last 50 years.

if they was sold on him think they would have closed the deal in the early
signing day.
think they sign two better running backs in next class now that C Rod returned.
Agree…I think he was a backup plan for CRod. His return makes him a low priority for this year.

Oh geeze I was off by a catch. Not sure what your point is. Both of them still had little to no run.

I am not sure what is confusing about my point. They did not play a combined 8 games (more like 26) and grouping them, as if they are the same, is misleading. Peace.

I wasn't the one grouping them as if they were the same, I said neither were targeted enough to make an impact and posted the evidence and that the receiver room would be just fine

And I posted the STATS that show they didn't play in a combined 26 games this past season

Take the stick outta your ***

Edit: you didn't even have a point other than attempting to correct someone and coming off as a demeaning pompous *** that wouldn't put in the effort to look up correct stats

Yell at a different cloud

I’m glad to see Marrow calling out the nonsense. I’m not one who believes that analysts, scouts & recruiting services are out to get UK. But, there’s no denying that a lot of our recruits nosedive in the rankings after picking UK. What, exactly, did Goodwin do to fall from 17 to 158?! He dropped 141 spots & has done nothing since the last rankings were released besides play in a HS AA game. Barion Brown drops from 24 to 90 & all the reports I heard were that he was standing out in the AA game practices. I certainly didn’t hear anything that would justify such a dramatic drop for either player. Nik Hall dropped 98 spots & Fearbry fell 71, from 148-219. Afari & Keaten Wade were the only two who rose in the rankings. Goodwin’s free fall is just mind boggling & I’d love to hear On3’s reasoning.

None of these ratings matter, nor does it matter what websites do after a player signs with Kentucky. If the players play well at Kentucky and help build a better program, that matters. Trust Stoops. He is a winner.

Dude, the stick is firmly up your ass as you paranoidly ascribe false motives to others. Your insecurity is showing.

And, it is UK’s site that says each player participated in 13 games. I also doubt that anyone could state that Harris’s stats did not make an impact.

Grow up.

 
Brad White is recruiting 6'5" 260# DE Noah Matthews from Bridgeville, DE. Coming from a small town in a small state, Matthews has been covered lightly and not formally evaluated by the internet services. Matthews is scheduled to visit Lexington this weekend. Matthews was committed to Weber State but decommitted. He was previously expected to commit to IL, but there are reports that he may commit to UK in the next week if his visit goes well and if Coach Stoops offers a scholarship while he is here. Presumably, we wouldn't be hosting him this late before the signing date without serious interest from both parties.

Matthews was 2A lineman of the year in DE. Durojaiye was 3A lineman of the year in DE. Would like to get a proven transfer on the DL so we have plenty of ready to play depth this season.

I’m generally of the opinion a lot of Atlantic coast prospects don’t get the attention/analysis of most players in places like the South East and Texas and Ohio.

Yeah, leery about the competition and lack of attention compared to others. Just don't know what to expect.
