Do you think Patterson will play LB at UK? I project him to me a DE. Nice ballplayer, but he seemed to lack the lateral quickness needed to play LB in the SEC. Perhaps that can be improved with coaching and training, but if not, I see him as being a heck of a pass rushing DE.

 

It all depends I think they are suppose to start using the 3-4 defense more often this year.

I just wish UK had concentrated more recruiting time in Florida. They got those 2 kids from Pensacola Catholic, and that's it. Nothing from Texas either.

 

They did until Joker pulled his scholarship.

ESPN had their class rankings at one point yesterday, and UK was the #1 team "on the fringe" of their top 25 rankings...So at that point, they had UK's class #26 in the nation....#10 in the SEC. Insane.

 

There not even in the top 50 in Rival's rankings.

I read today where Rivals said that was a mistake due to a "glitch." They expected that UK would come in at about the 35 level.

The Old Spice POY in Alabama is a kid who rushed for 2,000 yards. He's coming to UK as a walk-on on an academic scholarship.

Was the "glitch" listed as forgetting to pander to a large subscriber base???

No we left the network a little over a year ago. Was going down hill fast and our contract was up so we left. The site is now with 247Sports which is owned by the original founder of Rivals Shannon Terry...

What's the most credible ranks?

How about none? Rivals and Scout seem to be based on the way they can sell the most subscriptions, and ESPN's football rankings are really biased towards the South. Oh wait, that probably makes ESPN's the most accurate IMO.

This class isn't even in Rivals top 50 last time I looked yesterday. I don't know I'm just not really impressed with it.

Keep this in mind.

 

Sports Illustrated put out it's 1st team All-American list.

 

18 of 26 were 3 star or less coming out of high school.

 

Cobb was a 3 as was Auburn's Nick Fairley.
