[The Blue Blur]

First things, first if you hadn't heard yet the two joint commitments to be this week were 4* Lakota West RB Mikel Horton & 3* Winton Woods DB Mike Edwards. However, there was a kink in the plans. Edwards returned to Winton Woods on Monday hyped from his trip to UK's spring game & informed his head coach. The head coach seems to not agree with his decision of school or would prefer him to wait. Recruiting guru Vince Marrow, is paying Winton Woods a visit for damage control. As of now, there is no timetable for Edwards decision, other than he may decide before his season.

In the meantime, UK has offered Edwards high school teammate 3* DT Daniel Cage. Cage has offers Akron, Cincinnati, Florida, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Indiana, Kent State, Miami(OH), Michigan State, Minnesota, Missouri, Tennessee, Vandy, WVU, & Western Michigan. He also has interest from Bowling Green, UCONN, Duke, Florida State, Louisville, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Purdue, & Wisconsin.

As for Horton's plans, he is sticking to his plan of committing this weekend. He will make his announcement at the Rivals Camp this weekend.

There may also be a second commitment from Ohio on Saturday during the Rivals Camp, also. Right now there are no hints or info of who it would be so use your imagination or some detective work.

There is also another recruit who was thought to commit on Saturday but he has pushed back his decision until Tuesday.

3* TE Darryl Long will make his announcement next Saturday.

Today, there was some buzz surrounding Jarrett LaRubbio & linking him to Vandy. However, this evening it seems like we as UK fans shouldn't read too much into this. UK's staff spoke with LaRubbio this evening & they still remain very confident with him.

UK also feels very confident with 4* Ohio OL Nick Richardson & believe they still have the lead for him.

There has also been some rumblings about 4* DB Darius West today, & linking him with Louisville. In fact, he does like Louisville but all indications points to UK still having the lead on him. As well he could be eying an early decision, in fact earlier than anyone believed.

Interest has picked up for 4* Conner QB Drew Barker, from Notre Dame. He will host them for an in home visit before committing now. It is believed, this is a two horse race between UK & South Carolina but Barker seems excited about ND visiting.

3* Tampa, FL (Plant) OL Ray Raulerson will soon cut his list to 8 or 9 schools & all indications are UK will make the cut. He got along well this weekend while visiting, especially with RB coach Chad Scott & OL coach John Schlarman.

4* Carolina WR Blake Bone will be visiting UK this weekend.

Virginia decommit DT Chris Nelson, hearing he's one to keep an eye on as well.

ESPN followed suite with 247sports & dropped Thaddeus Snodgrass to a 3*. Most believe it's likely in an effort to downgrade UK's recruiting class. Snodgrass has seemed to take it personal, & will likely prove worthy of the 4* ranking. However he specifically called out Josh Edwards of 247sports & made it clear he was still a 4* on the only site that really matter, Rivals.
