I believe one service had Washington as a four star. And I remember one thing with his evaluation was how good a route runner he is.
State of 2024 Recruiting
- Thread starter Rembrandt90
- Start date
Just read an article that called Jaden Smith a 4 star. It said that MI lost one of their top recruits in Smith and said he can play safety or LB.
UK's 2024 recruiting class-
Cutter Boley, QB, Lexington, KY
Cam Dooley, DB, Valley, AL
Hardley Gilmore, WR, Pahokee, FL
Hayes Johnson, OL, Campbellsville, KY
Jacob Kauwe, P/K, Billings, MT
Jiquavious Marshall, DB, Macon, GA
Tovani Mizell, RB, Ft Lauderdale, FL
Marc Nave, OL, Toledo
Terhyon Nichols, DB, Cincinnati, OH
Quintavion Norman, LB, Covington, GA
Jason Patterson, RB, Snead, FL
Caleb Redd, LB, St Louis, MO
Brian Robinson, DL, Westerville, OH
Willie Rodriguez, TE, Alexandria, KY
Quaysheed Scott, DB, Marion, SC
Aba Selm, OL, Independence, KY
Antwan Smith, DB, Atlanta, GA
Devin Smith, LB, Brunswick, GA
Jacob Smith, LB, Corbin, KY
Jaden Smith, LB/S, Charlotte, NC
Jerod Smith, DL, Corbin, KY
Steven Soles, LB, Powell, TN
David Washington, slotR, Philadelphia, PA
This is our final 2024 recruiting class.
IMO, this class will have a bigger impact than its online class ranking because there are so many underrated players in the class. I am referring to Dooley, Gilmore, Marshall, Nave, Nichols, Norman, Patterson, Redd, Robinson, Rodriguez, Scott, and Soles, all of whom will very likely become better players than their current player ratings would predict. This is not to mention the Smith twins, Devin Smith, Boley, and Mizell, who should also be important players at UK. Not suggesting anyone in the class won't.
The biggest impact of this class will be on the defensive side. But there are some interesting offensive players as well. It is a balanced class, and likely one of Stoops' best here.
The following are already enrolled and should participate in spring practice-
Boley
Gilmore
Johnson

Wow.
Twelve are already in campus, or half the class?!?!?!!
This class has a special feel to it.
Robinson, Smith Twins, and Nichols will not be able to be kept off the field this fall IMO. Immediate impact.
Brian Robinson will make the 2024 playing rotation, probably at DE. Robinson is a gym rat. He should be up to at least 280# by next August and he has more natural talent than anyone else on our DL except possibly Walker. Robinson is going to play. He will be a star at UK.
At 260-270#, I don't see how Jerod Smith beats out the more experienced returning Wildcat defensive linemen this year so he probably redshirts. No reason to waste him. Walker, Hayes, Silver, Rybka, Gilbert, and DHY were all highly rated prospects. Not that it matters, but most of them were rated as high or higher than Jerod. Jerod has a nice future at UK though.
Jacob Smith has to beat out Tyreese Fearbry to make the two-deep chart at Jack LB. Weaver is the starter. Fearbry was ranked similarly to Jacob as a prospect but Fearbry is older and more developed. Jacob may or may not get the redshirt, but I suspect he probably plays because Weaver will be gone after 2024.
Nichols is good enough to play. If they decide to develop him as a CB (likely), he will probably play this year. If they decide to develop him as a safety, he would probably redshirt because Story and Childress are 5th year seniors and Lovett and Bryant would also play ahead of him. Either way, he is going to be a good player for us.
Which one of the Smith twins had shoulder surgery, I'd think he's almost assured a RS year? Don't forget DHY had knee surgery so that may set him back.
True about DHY's knee but he should be ready by August if there haven't been any setbacks.
I can't find anything online about either Smith twin having surgery. That doesn't mean it didn't happen. Even if it did, he would recover from shoulder surgery before August unless there was a setback. Also, shoulder surgery does not delay aerobic training. But both twins need to get stronger.
Poster above you answered my question, it was Jacob who had the surgery. He was shown in a pic a few weeks ago wearing some type of awkward looking contraption, a sling of sorts. If he has a bad shoulder he can't lift and if he can't lift he can't build upper body strength. Many types of shoulder injuries, some not too serious but SLAP tear or rotator cuff could be major.
Regardless, he will be ready by August unless he has a setback in his rehab. But you are right, he won't be able to lift until around May or June. Jacob needs to play next fall because this will be Weaver's final season of eligibility. Jacob should be ready. He won't be the strongest player on the team at that point, but that is a problem for all freshmen not named Brian Robinson.
Yep, lots of players have nagging shoulder issues taken care of in the winter months, take spring off to heal and rehab and back better than new for fall.
Anfernee Crease, OL, Navarro JC, Corsicana, TX
Another late addition to our 2024 recruiting class. Crease is a flip from SMU. He is being recruited by Coach Wolford.
UK is his only SEC offer, and one of only three Power 5 offers. You might ask, then, why UK is taking him. And there is a very good answer. For one thing, Crease has three years of eligibility left. And he is big. 6'6" 310#. So we can call him a project with a high floor. UK's OT roster is thin, and Gerald Mincey, Courtland Ford, and Marques Cox are due to use up their remaining eligibility in 2024. So, Crease can at least provide quality depth as Coach Wolford rebuilds our OL roster over the next three years. Remember, upsides of offensive linemen are difficult to predict. See Dylan Ray, Eli Cox, Luke Fortner, Kenneth Horsey, Logan Stenberg, Bunchy Stallings.
