McQuarters still giving Kentucky a look

Cats Illustrated first reported on Tennessee athlete Dejuan McQuarters in May. Since that time his relationship with the UK staff has quietly but steadily progressed.

McQuarters hasn't had a lot of contact with the Kentucky coaches but there has been some communication between the two camps. Though he's claiming an offer from UK it appears that the Wildcats want their receiver targets to visit campus before they would consider accepting commitments from anyone.

The 5-foot-10, 160-pound athlete from Memphis (Tenn.) Mitchell will have a busy July and that includes a trip to Lexington.

"I'll visit Tennessee, Cincinnati and NIU all in early July. I'm trying to get to Kentucky in late July," McQuarters said.

That trip could coincide with a big recruiting period that Kentucky will have from July 18-22. Most of the Wildcats' commitments and some of their top uncommitted targets plan to be on campus during that five-day period, so it could be a good time for McQuarters to visit if he wants face time with all of the coaches.

Chad Scott is McQuarters' recruiter and his message for the Tennessee athlete has been simple.

"That I would fit in well in the system with my abilities and that I can help in the return game," McQuarters said, recalling that message.

"I'm just looking for a good system that fits me. A team that spreads the ball around and a family atmosphere. Most importantly a good education."

McQuarters also claims verbal offers from Arkansas State, Middle Tennessee and UAB.
