I agree with UK First.
1)3
2)20
3)no, McClain could be back, Wilcox, Sumi, and Wright will see the most action
4)no too many older WRs
5) I think it is a coin flip between Selm and Lafondant. I am going to go Lafondant RS JR
Yeah, kind of the way I am thinking. Could go either way according to what is most important for the young man.
I tend to agree with you, but it also seems very plausible that UK's next commitment might come from Jason Patterson during the first week of August.
Gilmore hasnt set a date so he def could ve after Patterson. Jackson is b4 if he picks UK.
I have a good feeling about Jackson, because of his family's positive visit to Lexington last month and because our program and our staff are obviously in a better place now than FL's are. But that could be wishful thinking. Realistically, this could go either way or he could decide to stretch it out to the fall and take more visits.
But then I keep thinking that Stoops doesn't have a commitment yet from a 2024 DL. He surely has a plan for that, and Jackson is currently the most obvious step in the right direction. Just seems like a fit.
So a DL dip of Jackson and BRob (may grow into one) for this class would be great, if a little short on quantity.
Will they add another (assuming things go our way)?
Has Sebastian Scott shown up at UK yet? If not, will he get here before the season? Really liked his film for. pWO.
if we don’t get him, I think UK will need to take a NT this class, bc we will have lost our last two NT recruits the last two seasons

Those are some nice blue headphones he is wearing, but I believe Wildcat blue also happens to be the school color for his hs.
I have not found any public evidence that Robinson is getting ready to announce. Whenever that happens, though, he is a difference maker. If Coach Marrow can close the deal, Robinson would be one of the most significant signings of the Stoops era, and certainly one of the top defensive signings. I wonder how critical assurances of playing Jack LB might be to his recruitment, if at all. I think he once made it pretty clear that is the position he wants to play.
Sense he wants to be a Jack but it could depend on how much he grows. Could this be Josh Paschal redux?
Idk he put at the bottom of the pic just a few more week till I am committed. He hasn't set a date but that makes it look like he is closing in on a decision. Some guys don't set a date.
I thought we would probably get Jackson. It's disappointing. But he isn't a program changer. Brian Robinson is a program changer.
If he were to transfer to say Lex Cath or Fred Doug I'd say that was good. If he transfers to a HS in Ann Arbor or near Penn St that would be bad.
Hard to know. He isn't transferring to be close to where he is going. His das had a major falling out with the coach at Fitch.
Edit: just read where he called the head coach out on teitter by name. Said we was a coward and Bitch, and that he told BRob to find a new home because he was jealous. I definitely dont think that is good for UK

Is Marrow friends with that coach? Any shakeup when we feel we’re leading is probably not ideal
With Kendall Jackson off the board now, I am thinking more and more that Jason Patterson will become UK's next 2024 commitment on or around August 1.
Apparently some off-field stuff is going on with Brian Robinson. Conventional wisdom is that Robinson's dad had a big falling out with the Fitch hs football coach and Robinson has left their football team. That is all I have heard. If there is more to this story, I hope Bereacat or someone else will post what they know. Soon, Robinson will probably enroll at another hs and turn up on their football team for his senior season. There has been speculation that this might change Robinson's mindset regarding his college decision. That is certainly possible, but I tend to doubt it. Robinson has already made his visits and gone down the road toward a decision. The Big Dog will stay in touch as much as the rules allow. Coach Marrow is particularly effective in this kind of a situation. We don't know for sure that Robinson is leaning toward UK, or ever was. Maybe. But as long as the lines of communication are open, I trust Marrow to close if it can be done. Like Robinson, Marrow and Stoops are from Youngstown. That has to help. But we might not hear anything for a while.

It is also worth mentioning again that Jalewis Solomon is scheduled to make his announcement on August 5. Conventional wisdom suggests he will pick FL St or Auburn. He and his brother Zayden Walker visited UK last month and reportedly had a good visit. It has become clearer that Solomon views himself as a WR at the next level, so we will find out how much influence Coach Coen and Cutter Boley have had in his recruitment. Coach Collins is his primary UK recruiter.
Nothing new has been reported on Robinson. His dad said the coach told him to leave and that was why he did what he did. Anyway, I did see that a scout from Ohio sais the Fitch coach was trouble and Robinson's dad was just taking up for his son. Have not see anything that BRob was a problem.
As far as recruiting goes, there isnt much news. I have read that Pitt is becoming the dark horse and may be gaining ground. He has taken several UVs there and they are pushing him to hold off and OV them in Dec b4 making his decision.
Interesting. At the end of the day, I don't see Robinson picking Pitt over UK. But the longer this goes on, the more possibilities probably get introduced. Knowing about the tension between the Robinson family and the Fitch hs coach tells me that his mind hasn't primarily been on narrowing his recruitment. It is hard for anyone to think a year or two ahead when they are under a lot of stress. But I trust Coach Marrow.
On 7/7, WR prospect Hardley Gilmore received another CB prediction for UK, this time from "Lions247 staff writer" Tyler Calvaruso. So this is a PA St sports journalist, dishing "VIP scoop" that predicts Gilmore will eventually become a UK Wildcat.
As most of you already know, Gilmore is a highly recruited 2025 WR prospect from Pahokee, FL, who is reclassifying forward to the 2024 class. Gilmore reportedly holds at least six SEC and four B10 offers. AL, GA, PA St, and MI have reportedly offered him. Scott Woodward and Mike Stoops are recruiting him for UK. Last month, Gilmore was named as the best receiver at a TX A&M position camp.
UK has a public commitment from Philadelphia WR prospect David Washington. Coach Stoops will take commitments from 1-2 more WR prospects in this class, and Gilmore is his top WR target.

I'm wondering if maybe the Robinson situation comes from his HS coach shilling for a college program, probably Big 10, and the HS coach becoming angry/frustrated when Robinson wasn't buying what he was selling. That could explain the situation.
I was wondering similarly. No evidence to back it up. But if the coach felt he had something to gain by delivering Robinson to another program not of Robinson's choosing, that could provoke the type of response we apparently saw. Most hs coaches don't get a player of Robinson's major college value more than once or twice in a coaching career.
That hypothetical scenario reminds me a bit of the Albert Means situation where the HS coach was "shopping" the player and Bama, who was the high bidder got caught. Hope this isn't true about Robinson but it wouldn't surprise me.
Haven't heard much and I'm not in on any paywall info, but one rumor I have seen is that Michigan has backed off recruiting him due to his dad. TIFWIW.
Doubt much becomes clear unless someone talks.
Not hearing anything about Pitt.
Selm is currently 6’5” according to his coach in an article by Cincinnati enquirer
I am not saying he isnt but we all know coaches want to talk up theit guys. Hope it is true
