Might as well go ahead and start it since we have two commits already.

Montrell Custis is a 4-star DB from Georgia who committed last November.

Marcus Walker is also a 4-star DB, but from Florida. Walker committed last month.

George Campbell is a huge target for UK.
He is good friends with Damien Harris
http://rivals.yahoo.com/footballrecruiti...ell-134768

[Blue Chrome]

Yeah, I think Campbell is the #1 WR in the class. He was committed to Michigan with Harris and they both wound up decommitting. Would be SOLID to get both of them at UK.

Found some other Juniors visiting for Junior day as well:

Kyle Phillips DE from Tennessee
Vincent Perry RB from Tennessee
Treveyion Custis RB from Georgia (cousin of UK commit Montrell Custis)
C.J. Amill RB from Ohio
Jordan Jones LB from Ohio

[Blue Chrome]

Man, Kentucky is handing out offers like CRAZY. I can hardly keep up with them, four more offers out today for 2015:

Larry Wells
Wyatt Knopfke
Isiah Scott
William Sweet

[Blue Chrome]

Interesting replacement for Bradley Dale Peveto, UK announced that Craig Naivar (pronounced "NI-ver") will be the new Special Teams coach. Article says he's from Texas and is know as "high-energy" and a good recruiter.

Sounds like Texas is about to join Ohio and Florida as pipeline states to Kentucky.
:Thumbs:

[Blue Chrome]

Just to bring everybody up to speed, although I'm sure you're already there. Current 2015 commitments:

Montrell Custis 4-Star CB
Marcus Walker 4-Star DB
Mason Wolfe 3-Star OG
Larry Wells 3-Star OT
Levon Livingston 4-Star OT, DE
Logan Stenberg unranked OT

Several very talented players are looking like Kentucky-leans. 5-Star RB Damien Harris has UK in his top 10 and visited campus again this week, tweeting afterward "And for those of y'all who think Kentucky football ain't on the rise... Keep sleeping, they'll prove you wrong come season. Just wait on it." Harris also says he'll be at the Spring Game.

Article came out this morning saying D'Anfernee McGriff was considering Kentucky seriously.

As I watch the "Twit-o-sphere", it's cool to see that recruits are starting to look at Kentucky football differently. Two years ago, four- and five-star recruits wouldn't even mention an offer from Kentucky (mostly because the previous staff wouldn't have offered), but now these kids are saying "why not".
:Thumbs:

[cougarpride08]

Thanks man for giving us updates. Who in the bluegrass state other than Harris is high on UK list?

[Blue Chrome]

I know there is a lot of mutual interest with Warren East LB Eli Brown (4-star) and the staff was pretty interested in Warren Central LB Emmitt Smith (4-star) as well. Both have offers.
:Thumbs:

[Blue Chrome]

As if on cue, Eli Brown tweeted out this morning: "Man i cant stop thinking about the great time i had at UK yesterday!! Ready to get back to lex!"
:Thumbs:

[Blue Chrome]

Montrell Custis just de-committed from Kentucky and committed to Alabama.

[Blue Chrome]

Marcus Walker just de-committed from Kentucky. He says Kentucky is still #1 on his list, but what the heck is going on? That's the second de-commit in as many days.
:flush:

[Strikeout King]

Eli Brown

@32_brown: Guess its time to get the word out i am now committed to University of Kentucky!! #bbn” Warren East 4-star LB No. 110 nationally

[cougarpride08]

Another 4* player. Great addition!

Matt Elam is doing his part to help recruiting. First there was this gem to 5-star DT Cece Jefferson:

Bro @cecejeferson7 Just Watch UK Is Making Improvements We Are Changing This Program And It Starts With Great Players Like You !! #BBN

And this to 5-star RB Damien Harris:

S/o To @32_brown We Are Going To Keep Getting The Best In State Players They Are Our Corner Stone !! Oh Yeah @Damien_D1Harris You Are Next

It should be interesting to see who commits after the spring game.

Yep, Luke Hiers committed, UK made the top 10 for Darrin Kirkland and offered Kengera Daniel. Big day in the BBN...
:Thumbs:

4-star TE C.J. Conrad is deciding next Friday between Kentucky and Indiana. Smart money is on Kentucky.
:Thumbs:

[Mix1]

Smart money,, dumb money,, play money. UK will be the choice.

[Blue Chrome]

Alex Stump commits to UK

I am fulfilling a lifelong dream of playing college football. Officially committed to the University of Kentucky!!! #WeAreUK #StoopsTroops

:Thumbs:

[Strikeout King]

2015 WR Alex Stump has committed to UK.

http://www.nationofblue.com/2014/05/yaht...-receiver/

http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/re...ump-159442

[Mix1]

Was told today Conrad will choose UK. OSU passed on him due to concerns onfield. No idea what those are though. He was wanting that offer,, didn't get,, so will choose UK.

[Mix1]

Stump got a ranking today,, 4* on 247 and 5.7 3* on rivals.

[Blue Chrome]

3-Star Ohio LB Jordan Jones commits to UK. He's from Cardinal Mooney, which I believe is Stoops' Alma Mater.

[Strikeout King]

[Blue Chrome]

4-Star Ohio TE C.J. Conrad commits to UK. It was between us and Indiana.

[Mix1]

Was actually between UK and OSU. Didn't get the offer from them so we got by default. Why IU was even mentioned is beyond me. Favor to someone id guess?

[Pulp Fiction]

UK is number two in recruiting the state of Ohio... only Ohio State is ahead of us.

Stoops has an Ohio and Florida recruiting pipeline. Not too mention what pipeline his Asst. coaches have.


Are we gonna be on Alabama's, Texas A&M's, LSU's or Auburn's level in the next five seasons... probably not. But I do believe that UK will shed our 'bottom feeder' status in the next five seasons.

[the.mad.hatter]

looking forward to a good recruiting year for uk.. fingers crossed..
