Penson had been down to Kentucky and Georgia Tech but picked the Yellow Jackets, his home state school.
He told me after the fact that the engineering degree was a big factor in his decision. Sometimes the engineering focus of the school hurts GT with players but in this case it helped so that is something UK would have to overcome.
He has remained open to other schools but told me today that the ball is in Kentucky's court. He is hoping to set up an official visit with CB coach Chris Collins but right now Kentucky seems to be taking a slower wait and see approach. Tells you that they are not pushing overly hard at the moment.
Stanford is the visit that is most likely to happen probably during the fall or in December. Auburn and Georgia have been in contact with Penson and Auburn mentioned the possibility of a visit.
Seems like he is keeping quite the open mind and would be a possibility for Kentucky but they need to decide to move on him for that to happen.
