Harmon sorting things out

  • http://kentucky.247sports.com/Article/Harmon-sorting-things-out-30489

    J.D. Harmon has been speculated as a candidate to join Kentucky's commitment list this summer, but is the Paducah Tilghman standout ready to make that call?

  • Yes, please. Sign him up!

  • I wish this guy would just commit. It sounds like the family are looking for something else. We don't have that many rides for receivers this year.

    Was your impression Jeff that he kind of wanted to commit, but his parents were holding him back??

  • I do find it odd that IU has not offered this kid but we have. Jeff and Chris, were you guys really impressed with him at the Blue Lights Camp a couple weeks back? I thought I remembered reading that.

  • I don't think IU has as much influence in Paducah as in the Owensboro area.

  • Harmon or McKay? They seem like similar WR's and are both in-state. Do we take one of them ASAP or do we hold off and see what happens w/ some of the other studs we're in well with? Will Harmon and/or McKay play along in the waiting game with UK or are they likely to choose elsewhere and not look backif we try to wait closer to signing day?

  • As of now I would pick McKay. There is limited video of him, but he plays like a big time SEC WR.

  • It is my opinion that UK would take either of these kids any time they wanted to commit. I think they are near or at the top of the wish list. That is just my take.

    I was. Saw him make two tremendous grabs at camp that night.

    I'd take McKay over Harmon but I think UK will take both if they can get em.

  • The kid is one hell of an athlete. He has freakish hops on the basketball floor as well.

  • Harmon was nowhere near as impressive as Sweat. As for the debate between he and McKay? McKay is a very special talent that has the tools to quickly be an SEC impact player. He truly can be an Alshon Jeffrey type of talent. He has the body AND the speed. I'm not that impressed with Harmon's speed or explosivness. In the SEC, he'll be more of a possession receiver.

    I didn't really read too much into it. I think his mom just wants to make sure he's happy in the long run.

    Wow...those are some pretty big compliments on McKay. Does anyone know where he was listed in the last preseason rankings for recruits in KY? I don't ask that as a means of doubting him. I just truly don't remember ever hearing about him until he went nuts at UK's camp this summer. I like what I hear about him so far, though.

  • Mckay plays at a school with virtually zero publicity. I've heard several Jefferson County highschool coaches say that McKay and James Quick are without a doubt the best skill players to come through the area since Mike Bush. If McKay played at St X or Trinity, he would be a national recruit.

  • McKay is a very important recruit for UK this year. Sounds as if he has the potential to be special.

    That is true. Moore gets zero pub.

  • McKay has the measurables and ability to be a very, very good SEC WR! He, Sweat, and Harmon would be great trio of pass catchers!!

  • Has anyone seen McKay play hoops enough to know if he's worthy of a walk-on spot? I've seen numerous people here and elsewhere say he wants to play both and is 100% our's if given that opportunity. Just curious if he's good enough and what his style of play is. If he's as athletic as people say and is as big of a football recruit as people say, then I can't imagine Cal wouldn't take him as an end-of-the-bench walk-on guy.

    Haven't seen him but Cincy offered him a bball scholarship I believe.

    Wow. Didn't realize that.

    My personal opinion: If you're good enough for a scholarship from Cincy, then you're good enough to be a walk-on at UK, unless your style of play and/or skillset just completely clashes with the DDMO. Given his supposed importance to the football program, you would think this one is a no-brainer for Cal to "take one for the team".

    Coach Cal would be allowing him to walk-on. IMO, doesn't matter what his skill set is. He'd be a practice player and could see mop-up minutes. No harm to the team and a win-win for UK.
