UK Football Recruiting Rundown
#5
So.. setting up the stretch run this week with Signing Day on Wednesday:
Big targets (These three are the primary focus of staff):

DE Evans- between Uk and UL.. UK has the edge it appears.

CB Green- Between UK and OSU.. OSU seemingly has the edge

S Myles- Between UK, UT, LSU, and BAMA. Supposedly his visit went very well,

Possible:
DT McMullin- Between UK and Vandy, Vandy has edge (if UK has room now)

Possible, but Not Going to Qualify:
DT Worthen- haven't heard much, but best case he will be a Greyshirt

It appears the offense is done and accounted for now, here is a rundown.
Key COMMITTED Recruits This Class
QB- Newton (4*) and Mossakowski (4*): Simply put a phenominal job as both are potential superstars.

RB- Russell (3*), Morgan (JUCO), Tyler (3*): Tyler will probably be a Safety, but will get his look at RB. Uk needed depth and got it.

WR- Matthews (JUCO 4*), LaRod King (3*), Justin Bean (2*): UK added much needed depth and talent. King and Matthews are tall and talented. UK has several ATH who may contribute to this positiona s well.

TE- Kendrick (High 3*) and Mitchell (High 3*): If you loved Tamme you will lvoe these guys. Basically WR's with strength. Both guys are Top 40 nationally at their position.

OL- Simpson ( High 3*), Warford (3*), Mitchell (2*): Cats added one of the top Center's in the nation (heavily recruited), a mammoth tackle, and Mitchell who is a project but could potentially be a Tackle or Guard as well.

ATH- Adams (2*), Aumiller (2*): Aumiller is a sure-fire greyshirt. He projects either as a TE or a LB. Adams is an interesting player. He is a tall, skinny kid with good speed. He played QB in a Read Option system and looked fairly impressive. He could project at a number of positions (except QB) where he will be a project, but a project with talent. He could potentially be a WR, TE, S, or LB. It appears a redshirt will be automatic for this kid.

All in all I think UK has done very well recruiting offense. Their need entering the offseason was clearly to find their future QB, add depth at RB, add skill/size at WR, add depth at OL, and find a pass catching TE. They effectively did all of these and even superceded by adding two superstar QB's and two highly touted pass catching TE's. Additionally, UK has recruited players with varying skill sets to give them flexibility to switch formations andutilize different skills and looks.

I'd rate their offensive recruiting as a solid B.
