Kentucky Recruiting 2018

Was UC recruiting him?

His released announcement sure could have used a proof reader.

From what I have read is that UK now focused on Blue Smith, Meechi Harris and Chris Oats from Ohio.

 

What about Leonard Taylor?

Most prestigious game over the Army game!? Never thought I'd hear that.

It definitely is nowadays. Or at least they get the elite of the elite over the Army game.

That's crazy talk, 247 themselves sets up shop at the Army game. The best players go to the Army game and always have.

What about Leonard Taylor?

 

UK, OSU has mild interest but he didn't stand out enough to figure out which side of the ball to put him on.

Alex Reigelsperger and Tyler Bentley both tweeted about a possible Yahtzee about an hour ago. Looks like UK will hopefully add another one to the 2018 class.

Looks like Xavier Peters already backed off his commitment....

Amazing what one phone call can do after a kid was 100%.

I think she wants him to go tryout at FNL. I still think he ends up at UK.

UK is currently ranked 35 spots ahead of Alabama who is ranked #51 nationally.

Jarren Williams moves up in new 247Sports rankings >> UK basketball and football recruiting news

 

As expected, UK quarterback commitment Jarren Williams made a big jump in the latest 247Sports football recruiting rankings for the class of 2018.

 

Williams is now considered the No. 145 overall prospect in the 2018 class, moving up 111 spots after his stellar performance at The Opening Finals in Oregon last week.

 

“The big takeaway with Jarren is there are very few holes in his game,” 247Sports scouting director Barton Simmons told the Herald-Leader after that event. “It’s hard to find a weakness. There are other guys that are better in any one category, but he’s not deficient anywhere. I felt like he was one of the best quarterbacks there, in terms of his ability to digest the offenses they were being asked to learn. In terms of his comfort level, going through his reads and progressions. And his accuracy and control over the position.”

 

Williams is now the No. 7 dual-threat QB nationally, though he considers himself to be a pass-first quarterback, and Simmons acknowledged last week that his game better fits the “pro-style” description. There are only 12 quarterbacks with a higher 247Sports rating than Williams, and he’s the highest-ranked QB from the 2018 class that has committed to a Southeastern Conference school.

 

UK recruiting has sure come a LONG way.

Kentucky offered 2019 TE Erick All from Fairfield (OH).

UK is set to get a pair of 3 star corners from South Florida. Adds nice depth and balance to the class.
