State of 2022 Recruiting

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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?
I wouldn't say that, but it will be a commitment at least, something they've only had one of since May 7th.
That's fine, so long as we have the coaching to develope him. I'm not sold on Boozeknight.
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..
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.
