UK Football Recruiting Class of 2017

Featured Replies

Nice pickup today. Now if they can just add a couple more of their main targets this class should easily fall in the top 25 range (as long as they all stick until signing day).

Early this year (Jan-Feb) Vince Marrow said that if UK would start winning the close games & put together a winning season, we could get almost any of the great players that they were recruiting.

 

I hope this is the beginning of that trend. And certainly a bowl victory would enhance our chances.

Huge day for the Cats. When they pulled off the win over UL I knew it would help close out on some recruits that were on the fence. Now with the Gator/TaxSlayer bowl, a win there would be huge for recruiting going forward. These cats could finish with a top 20 class with a ton of momentum heading into next season.

Two 3 star juco's in one day is a good day. I expect them to get big Thayer Munford a legit 4 star lineman if OSU doesn't offer. Lynn Bowden will end up at UK one of the top athletes in Ohio.

I haven't heard anything in a while but I'm pretty sure they are in a good spot with 4 star WR Danny Davis as well.

 

Add in 4 star athlete Bowden, 4 star tackle Munford, 3 star WR Isiah Epps, and maybe 3 star DE Jordan Wright to close the class.

Interesting that it appears (per 247 Sports) that both of the UK and UofL do not feel the need to extend offers to very many Ky players. Specifically, UK has offered at total of 3 players (out of 319 total offers extended) from the State and UofL has offered a total of 4 from Ky. (out of a total of 406 total offers extended). Again, I get the fascination with the FL, GA, and Texas type players but is KY high football that far behind that it does not warrant at least offering 6-7 players from your home State? If I'm a Ky. High School coach I would have to be scratching my head just a little.

Theres only 1-2 guys a year in KY who can play in the SEC or ACC.

This. KY football is average at best.

So if that is the case, you would also state that the following States are glaringly above average then correct?:

 

Indiana

Illinois

Hawaii

Iowa

Oklahoma

Arizona

New York

Delaware

Nevada

Colorado

I'm not really sure what you're asking, but yes, I'd venture a guess that most of those states have better HS football talent than KY does.

Not sure what you are not understanding. You made the statement that KY football is avg at best. My question is the States I have listed you are stating their HS football is far above avg. Don't want to put words in your mouth, just trying to understand your logic and basis of the comment.

That's because both programs want to compete for bowl games.

You mentioned those other states, not me. How is me saying KY is average at football saying anything about other states?
