[The Blue Blur]

With lots of new offers out it's a good time to bring everything back together and see where UK stands with everyone.

Quarterback
Drew Barker - UK still feels good. South Carolina still in it. Will set spring visits soon.

Overview: Barker is the only QB UK has offered. Staff is evaluating others to protect themselves but still want Barker to be the guy. Still looks like late April, early May decision.

Running Back
Tony James - One of the 'speed' backs UK likes. Too early to gauge genuine interest.
Trevon Paulk - I'm hearing he likes Tennessee, Clemson and Ole Miss.
Mikel Horton - Visiting Louisville this weekend. Recent FSU offer opened everything up. UK feels good. Will be at spring game.
Adam Choice - Long shot, Georgia leads.
Stanley Williams - Pretty solid with UGA but a few other SEC schools have caught his eye. Would be a long shot.
Justin Jackson - UK is among top four or five favorites. Good, growing relationship with Scott. BC, N'Western among others.
Jonathan Haden - Comes from huge football family. UK one of many spring visits he will take.
Kamryn Pettway - Already flipped once (FSU to Auburn). UK will continue to recruit. Another big back.
Jarvis Stewart - UK is his favorite "out of state" school.

Overview: Horton, Jackson, Haden, Stewart are the four UK is in the best shape with right now. More offers cold go out soon. UK will take one or two running backs. If they take a big back, they'll also take a speed guy.

Wide Receiver
Drake Harris - Kentucky has made a big push and has his attention. But Michigan, Michigan State are most likely landing spots.
Demarre Kitt - Ohio State, Clemson lead.
Johnnie Dixon - Very likely ends up at a Florida school or an Alabama school.
Braxton Berrios - Has interest in UK but he's tougher to read; doesn't talk to coaches as much. Think he likes UNC, South Carolina; knows other offers are coming.
Blake Bone - Tough read but UK wants to get him in for a visit.
Artavis Scott - Probably a long shot.
Thaddeus Snodgrass - Looks good. Will leave it at that.
Troy Apke - Was excited by recent UK offer. Guy has height and is a burner. Will likely visit. Bookser's teammate.
Kendrick Holland - Recently offered by UofL. Told me via text UK still leads.
Dominique Booth - Seems to be a little less of a priority for this staff.
Derek Kief - Trying to do some digging. Really blowing up and I think he's pretty open-minded.
Austin Roberts - Just picked up Alabama offer. Visiting Florida schools and Ohio State in April.
Isaiah Ford - Know he really likes UF and FSU.
Garrett Johnson - Great spread guy; think UK could conceivably be a darkhorse.
T.V. Williams - One of few early Texas targets; UK was first SEC offer. Nebraska, Cal among other contenders.

Overview: What immediately jumps out is how high Kentucky is aiming here. Almost all 'elite' players that will be national recruiting battles. Probably a good strategy. Given the staff's track record and the system they're selling they can get the three-star types. JMO.

Tight end
Darryl Long - UK really feels good. Really good.
Ethan Wolf - Kentucky in the mix but probably doesn't feel quite as good about Wolf as they do about Long.
Marcus Mosely - Kentucky, Louisville, Syracuse lead. His teammate, Gary Brown, is visiting for spring game. Interesting to see if Mosely makes the trip, too.

Overview: Kentucky will take one or two tight ends. Things look very good with Long. Hearing UK is also targeting some 'national' guys but want to keep those quiet it seems.

Offensive line
Alex Bars - Probably a long shot.
Reilly Gibbons - Too early to gauge interest.
Nick Richardson - Visiting very soon with parents. Will be interesting to see how trip goes.
Alex Bookser - UK really likes this guy and UK was first SEC offer.
Ja'Merez Bowen - Could have some work to do academically but really likes UK and the love they've shown.
Alex Dalton - UK probably in good shape along with Indiana.
Ray Raulerson - Was ecstatic over UK offer. Visiting Northeast schools next week.
Isaiah Wynn - This kid is a monster. New offer every day it seems. Will gauge once dust clears.
Nolan Kelleher - UK would probably be top five but Georgia Tech leads. Engineering is big.
Orlando Brown - Long shot.
Corey Martinez - Really haven't heard too much about him.
Marcelys Jones - UK making a strong play, could be No. 2 behind the Buckeyes and rising.
Jarrett LaRubbio - One source told me that UK believes they can have him but want to see how they fare with other options rated a little higher first.
Montel McBride - Recent offer in Florida, too early to gauge interest.
Eric Shute - NCSU has made big impression but it's early, UK just offered.
Brian Allen - Getting him out of Big Ten will be a chore but UK really impressed him so far.

Overview: UK is in pretty good with the Ohio guys. Could likely get Dalton, LaRubbio, but want to see how they fare with some Florida guys (Wynn, Raulerson, etc) as well as Jones and others.
