Glad we gave him a closet full of Kentucky football clothes anyways.

I'm pretty sure he has a closet full full of about 20 schools clothing.


Wow, reading the hate on social media for this kid choosing the best decision for him is amazing. UK Football is not a national power. Will it take players like Damien to help make UK a national power, who knows.... But, if I am a 5 star recruit and one of my criteria is a chance to play for a National Championship, the UK is NOT where I am headed for the next four years of my life!

All of these "Fans" who are spewing hatred to this hometown hero for leaving, sure as hell don't have a problem when someone else's hometown hero leaves to come to UK for Basketball! How is what Damien did any different. He owes the University of Kentucky NOTHING! UK wants him for one reason and one reason only, and that is to exploit his talents so they can make $$$$$. Thus, he played the recruiting game and took every opportunity afforded to him - AND HE SHOULD HAVE! He made a decision to move on, just like some of you have done when making a decision to leave the loyalty of your current job to take on another.

The easy choice would have been for him to stay home where he feels comfortable and secure. Instead, he made a very mature decision by leaving everything he knows to go somewhere that guarantees him no comforts of home!

Kudos to the kid. I would have loved for him to be in Blue & White, but I applaud him getting the opportunity of a lifetime - exactly what my own son got, thus I'm sure his parents are amazed at the hate coming from those who don't live in their shoes!

As for him being good enough, overated, who cares. Someone wanted him, and whether they made the right choice or not, he wins. I'm sure there are many on here that wound up with a spouse that outsiders say "That dude way over achieved".... Recruiting is a gamble. Whether it works out or not, that's yet to be determined.
