I was told that Dustin May was at the UK/Georgia game on "kinda" a recruiting visit.
This is VERY suspect info, but I did hear it. I agree that May will have to work like an animal to get to that level, but he went from 202 lbs as a Soph to 220 lbs as a JR and appeared to improve. May is 6'2" and still growing. Although I agree that he has a lot of work to do, if he comes in next season at 230 or so, grows another inch, improves his speed/agility, I think he would be a nice kid for a program like UK to take a chance on.
Brooks could take comfort in knowing that Belfry players are well coached and will listen and work hard. If May REALLY gets after it and improves, I could see the kid being a nice player (after a reshirt year) at UK at the linebacker position.
There is more to football than numbers. May has pretty good speed numbers now. If he works hard this offseason, improves his speed, strength, and grows a bit, I think he could be a good college player. Ultimately, his fate rests on his "campaigners!" May's father, Coach Haywood and others need to be actively pushing the young man to D1 coaches.
He has the intangibles. Its up to him and a coach who is willing to buy into a kid to determine his ultimate fate. IF he works hard and continues to improve his ability, I think May could at least play in the MAC or C-USA.
I realize I just brought up a lot of "ifs" Ultimately, it will hinge on Dustin and those who are pushing him.
