Cleveland (Ohio) Glenville is annually home to some of the Midwest's top talent and Kentucky's staff would love nothing more than to start making inroads at the school.

The Wildcats are targeting multiple prospect's from Glenville's 2014 graduating class but they are also laying the foundation for a run at some of the school's younger prospects. Trevon Story, for instance.

Kentucky gave Story his second offer of the recruiting process over the weekend, after Georgia Tech, and Mark Stoops' staff had a chance to show him around the school.

Story made the trip with older teammates Marshon Lattimore, Marcelys Jones and Erick Smith, and they were on a road trip that also took them to Georgia Tech, Alabama and Tennessee.

The 5-foot-8, 162-pound cornerback didn't work out at the camp but the coaches had seen his film and were happy to relay the good news of the offer.

"They said I was real fast and they like my style," Story said. "I got to see the facilities, the practice field and their weight room while I was there. I thought it was all real nice. They said they're putting a lot of money into the facilities."

Erik Korem and his high performance program also came up. That presentation was one of the highlights of the trip for Story.

"They talked about him and that was really impressive," he said. "I also talked to coach (Vince) Marrow. He's a real cool dude. I talked to coach Stoops and the defensive backs coach (Derrick Ansley) too. They're all real dudes. They talk about some real stuff. I think they're proven, too.

"They said (Stoops) has sent 11 defensive backs (to the NFL) as first rounders. That was real impressive."

Story obviously couldn't speak for his older teammates but he did note that they remain open to Kentucky and other schools.

"Right now they're willing to listen to anybody," Story said. "I think everybody had a good time."
