State of 2023 Recruiting
- Thread starter Canned Heat
- Start date
I don't have a way to confirm it and it is water over the dam now anyway. If Goodwin is smart, and if he is given the chance, he needs to come back to UK and work hard during the offseason. There is still an opportunity here for him, but he has to swallow his pride and listen to our coaches.
This is exactly right. It actually appears that may happen but like you said he has some hoops to jump thru to make that happen
Every significant college football and basketball player has people in his ear.
Goodwin came to campus heavy. He had probably been instructed to guard against that by following aerobic exercise guidelines in the offseason. But he came in heavy anyway. Subsequently, I have not seen anyone criticize his work ethic during the fall semester. In fact, Stoops complimented him at least once. But once you fall behind, it takes time and discipline to catch up. The SEC is the most competitive college football conference.
Goodwin still has plenty of time. Is he coachable? Does he have the self discipline and team mentality to get it done? IDK, but entering the portal suggests he may not. The path he is on is a path toward wasting his opportunity. But he can still reverse course. Marques Cox will be a senior. Coen is going to need a new LT in 2024. That would give Goodwin plenty of time, if he could win back the confidence of the coaches. IDK how Goodwin and Yenser get along though.
I would love to have another commitment or two before things go silent for 2 days
No
Davis should commit tonight. Wilcox and Gadson probably will be Wednesday. Leary will hopefully commit in the next couple days also.
Gadson is a 'tweener' in basketball terms. He has strong hands and pursues well. Some projections say he will need to bulk up to play inside eventually. Will take him time to get bigger and stronger so would probably be at least a couple of years, maybe three, to get where he needs physically.
Jaques Keyes committed to Wake Forest as UK had backed off Also seen wiltfong predicted Jamarion Harkless to Purdue. That was been a strange recruitment.
Dunn apparently could play safety or CB. The #10 safety out of high school, AL, MI, OH St, TN, and several other top programs recruited him. Looks like a worker, Rowland said he gained twenty pounds in a half of a year so he looks physically ready to go. Has three years left to play.

Maybe it will happen. There is very little going on now to hint what Bell will decide.
Gadson is about the same size as Gilbert, albeit with a few less offers. I like that we identified an alternative to Gilbert and took action. 6-5. Love the height.
R90, please keep posting these updates - I for one enjoy the analysis and info you share pertaining to our roster!
Is Bell, English and Wilcox the only 4 star HS players left we have a chance at? I feel good about Wilcox as he could come in and play some first year IMO.
I think English could start at the slot as a freshman. Thats if Robinson doesnt come back
Wilcox, Davis and Leary . I believe people are sleeping a bit on Wilcox . We beat the big boys (OSU, Clemson) for this guy . May turn out to be the best back Stoops has signed, and that’s saying a lot .
IMO the best slotR on our team will be Anthony Brown. And Jordan Anthony is one of the fastest players in the SEC. But Coen uses a lot of receivers.
Have you seen a scouting report by a professional evaluator on English?
Brown is real similar to Wandale and will be perfect in the slot
I'm confident about Wilcox and Davis too. Not sure yet how the QB situation will shake out but Leary could be the guy.
Was told he he is definitely ours , but just decided to make his announcement on signing day .
Earlier today I was told we were “probably “ going to get Leary . Got a text a little while ago that just said “we’re getting Leary “ .
Based on nothing but a feeling, Weaver would be better off coming back. Missed a ton of PT with injuries, coming back he could get stronger and help his cause.
I too believe Wilcox is underrated, and I think it may have something to do with his height. He is short but strong and quick. Whether he will ever be as good as Snell or Rodriguez is a question that cannot really be addressed yet. Very few RBs are. The SEC is rough on RBs. Staying healthy is half the battle. Snell benefitted from running behind an excellent OL. To a slightly lesser extent, Rodriguez has too. Rebuilding the BBW will be a story unto itself.
Was that We're getting Leary, or We're getting leery? lol
I am guessing yes.
It is no secret that Stoops wants to add three RBs. I am guessing Davis, Wilcox, and Cornist sign with us.
I have. I think he could start cause he is strong enough to compete as a Freshman though you make a good point that Brown could as well
I believe Anthony Brown is a future star at UK. Brown and English are about the same height and weight, but Brown is faster. I know English is good too. But Brown has a top gear that English doesn't have.
