Yahtzee Ardell Banks commits to Kentucky

Kid must have a good idea who is new OC will be and confident a good QB will be reeled in through the portal.
 
Amazing the receivers we have and are getting not even knowing how good a QB we will have. Stoops did say he wants the offense to speed up and score more points.

5th WR commit. Does this mean UK is an unlikely destination for Bell and English?

I would say so and it sucks balls too! English is THE REAL DEAL! Never heard of this kid we just got but looks exactly like another Chris Lewis type to me. Shoulda been a hard pass imo but o hope he proves me wrong.

With the RB we may be getting and all the high caliber receivers that we will have we are a pro type QB away from our offense possibly taking off finally.

Actually 3rd the other is a hybrid TE. JR said he thinks UK will get Bell
Much thanks! Tell me, what have you heard about the OL from Yale who hit the portal over the weekend? Big guy is intriguing to me. Think he was their C.
 
Oh, sorry, one other...the JUCO RB Henry, hearing any news on him? Liked his film. TIA.
Official visit I think this weekend then SC the next. Looks like he is #3 on their list. Wilcox would be 1 and Cornist 2. I'd say they would take a commitment unless they know they're getting Wilcox

Wished both Lewis kids would of stayed...NIL causing kids to run from competition.

Stop this silly nonsense. Banks is not like Dane Key
"Playing style and body comp"


Dane Key came into Kentucky at 6'3" 190

Banks is 6'3" 180

Stop your silly nonsense, and maybe watch the tape above.

Dane Key might be in the 10 hands of WR in SEC football today. Not to mention he has a pretty damn ball skills at tracking and jumping to grab balls.

To compare Banks to Key is stupid. Outside of them both being black and WR with similar height....that is about where their games are close to Dane Key. Again, I get we have to fill out a WR room and cool with taking Banks....but he's no Dane Key.

I remember when everyone was saying Earnest Simms was just like Craig Yeast.

His whole point was them being the same height with the ability to highpoint balls on possessions

Banks might be a really good player! Fans are muted in reaction because WR simply isn't a pressing position of need now! Another reciever doesn't fix the problems that caused us to slip to 7-5!

Perhaps not. But our coaches can walk and chew gum. A recruiting class is built one player at a time. With five receivers leaving UK through the transfer portal, I imagine you would agree we need more of them. As you know, this will not stop our coaches from recruiting players at other positions.
 
I hope we are taking good, quality players and not just warm bodies because it's late in the game and we're desperate. We stole this guy from Toledo. Now we're trying to flip a RB from Buffalo. Our class is rated #51. It's December and signing day is two weeks away. WTH happened to our recruiting?

If he has the hands Key does and is able to catch anything thrown his way despite being draped on by two guys then the comparison is legit. Key's hands are what sets him apart and what earned him a starting job as a true freshman.

OK....whatever. For anyone that has actually seen an actual game of the 2 players...they are not alike. But OK. Christian Lewis was taller and could conceiveably high point passes.....but he is not a good Dane Key comparison either.

This is about putting lipstick on a recruiting mess at UK IMO. We've taken a huge step back in recruiting (which I notice all the NIL changes ranting on here that went down last 2 months have made no impact on 2022 class down the stretch I see). But Banks and Key are not alike. Dumb to even contrast the two.

We are just taking bodies to fill out a roster at this point is what I see happening.
