Good grief remove Gran. He got fired bc of recruiting and not developing the pass game. The two things we need to be looking for here he was terrible at. Respect what he did and the man he is but the program has grown and the sports has changed completely too. Ball control won’t work anymore.
Interesting.... I think there are a few NFL OC's who like to allow the QB to have to option to take off on the run when needed. Seems like last year, leary didn't.. Not sure if he was told to use his arm only and not the legs, or that he just was slow... I like when a QB can use his legs as a weapon. Unsure if that is what you meant or from a diff view.
Think we lead for Ward. Is that correct? Believe Jackson visited GA instead of us? Like the recruitment of the 5th best center Sowells.
This guy is raw but a real monster. Plays angry and really runs well. Hope UK can get him.
As of right now, do you see us as the leader for Isaac Sowells from Louisville ?
Maybe, maybe not. No way to know, and I don't think it matters much. He is likely not an impact prospect at the SEC level although certainly not a weak prospect. Like many hs linemen, his body will have to be reworked. And he lacks ideal length, regardless of what some websites may have implied.
BTW, if we are wondering about 2025 instate prospects, a far more consequential question is whether UK can sign Austin Alexander, Martels Carter, and Javeon Campbell.
“Not that he can get a guy like that to UK !”
According to a Kristian Dyer article with Rutgers sports four star Cameron Miller cut his list to five and we made the cut with Michigan and three others. He dropped Georgia, Penn St and another big school can't remember to get to the five he is focusing on. Also, another 4 star corner Dawayne Galloway is being recruited by Marrow and is listed as warm with us. A MI ST article said that Georgia, Penn St and MI I believe had offered him last year. So maybe a possibility of three 4 star DB's with safety Carter also a good possibility.
I hope we hit the Cincy area hard as long as Satterfield is at Cincy. He's going to drag that program down a couple of notches. I have to think it's a less appealing program than it was before he arrived.
The 2025 football class in the Cincinnati area is strong, and Coach Marrow is hitting it hard. There has been some prior discussion of this, if you have an interest in scrolling back to it. When I get time, I will review some of the names again because it's interesting stuff and some more of these guys besides Simmons will end up in our 2025 class.
Thanks for the work you put in on our recruiting efforts. Always look forward to them.
What states does he have recruiting ties too? This is the first I’ve seen mentioned of his recruiting ability yet.
I don't care to guess because Stoops never hires the most discussed candidates. So it doesn't matter what names float around. As several have already posted, Faulkner's name has been getting a lot of buzz. But everytime Stoops makes a hire, several names receive public buzz and then Stoops hires someone else. Here is the caveat. If an agreement with Faulkner has already been reached privately and leaked, then this rumor could mean something. Not until then. Otherwise, none of us has a clue who it will be. Faulkner would be a reasonable candidate but there are many others too.
Two things that I have seen that point to Faulkner. Brady James that has inside connections that Stoops was pursuing Faulkner. The next day JR confirmed it with his sources. JRs guy with Rivals GT that UK had def reached out but at that point it seemed like he didn’t want to make the move. We know that the players have been told a little of what the plan was to keep them satisfied. The WR from aTm tweeted about UK going to the spread and Faulkner they say runs the spread. It may not happen but he def seems to be at the top of the list
We are in the lead for some of those guys. Brody Lennon another guy we offered February 6th from Ohio. Our roster will be loaded with Ohio guys when this class comes in.
A reminder that the ridiculous job posting thingy ends Mon, Feb 12(guess it can be renewed) and if the past is any clue that tells me Stoops has SOMEBODY pretty much lined up. Question becomes...is it Faulkner or someone else? That we don't know but would agree, the A&M WR drops a pretty good hint.
Carter said he has a 'strong feeling' with one school after he was here for JR days. Speculation he could commit soon.
