State of 2023 Recruiting

Bryant reclassified from 2022 to 2023 a couple of months ago. If he was still in the 2022 class, Kentucky probably wouldn't take him but I'm glad we will in the 2023 class.

Notre Dame now looking at Malachi Wood as well. It's obviously a VERY long way to go with kids in this class, but just putting it out there to gauge the type of recruit he could end up being. Camped and did well with Ohio State this summer.
 
Big day tomorrow for class of 2023 guys. Coaches can officially initiate contact with recruits in the class. Should begin to see who becomes the main targets, who gets invited for game visits, etc.

Thanks Rock; please keep us up to date!

I work in corbin, just being a homer.
I get it. Still hope Kentucky gets him, but I'll be interested to see either how much he grows or how much faster he can get. Right now I'm not sure I see him being explosive enough for WR and he is way too small for TE. He may need to be a LB depending on what his body does.

Props to Canned Heat for starting our 2023 recruiting thread. It is that time again.

I have been otherwise occupied this summer with travel, mostly concerning a large project for our office but also some leisure time in CA with my family. When your kids grow up and leave the nest, you need to invest time to stay close and plugged in with them.

Recently DB Ty Bryant committed to UK. Bryant is a Lexington native and a UK legacy (son of Cisco Bryant) from Frederick Douglas hs. To date, Bryant is our only 2023 commitment. Some other instate 2023 targets believed to hold UK offers-

William Spencer, OL, Louisville
Trevon Alexander, OL, Hardin
Malachi Wood, OL, Richmond
Kaden Moorman, RB, Frankfort, KY
Micah Carter, DL, Louisville
Saadiq Clements, DL, Henderson
Christian Conyer, DB, Bowling Green
Dakota Patterson, ATH, Corbin
Thomas Howard, ATH, Lexington
Jacob Jones, ATH, Nicholasville

Well, off to the game. When time permits, I hope to return for a discussion of some 2023 out of state prospects holding UK offers.

Welcome back
 
If UK's offense can keep it up, I can't wait to see QB's and WR's that start mentioning us more for the 2023 class.

Are there no linemen from the mountain schools that are in line for a UK offer?
 
His brother is a DT at Liberty... wouldn't have hurt to recruit him. I wish we would've now.
