Hatcher a Cat?

  • Hatcher isn't happening. UK is already getting better players. But true studs are still going elsewhere. Simple fact is that these kind of guys have usually known their coaching staffs a long time before they commit. We will get some good players now, but I really look forward to the class two years from now.

    I would not close the door on Hatcher yet

    Im not..as I said..the fact hes invited UK staff for an In-home..and the fact this staff has proven they are elite recruiters..anythings possible. The fact rompcat stated about USC being horrible is a good point as well. And the fact I would be surpised if Lane Kiffen dosent have USC under heavy NCAA sanctions soon...its just i think UofL was always Hatchers 2nd option. And the fact they dog stomped the Gators..only makes a stronger case for the Cards.
    I would love to land Hatcher..talk about one hell of a DL haul..Z.Smith,A.Bell,J.Reed,J.Hyde,L.Peterson, possibly Hatcher and Suttles?? Wow. I think Bell is way underrated. Kid is 6'6 245 and runs like a linebacker, has long,long arms. Hatcher would make this arguably the best DL haul in the nation..imo.

  • Just curious that none of the staff from this site has chimed in to say, yes, no, maybe, or perhaps just a rumor. Could be checking things out OR could be something to it. We know there is at least one kid that has committed that we can't get the name. The clues are we won't know til signing day, and it is someone that has been widely talked about the past couple of weeks. Also the LBs from LA saying their offers were taken back due to being full, and finally it is someone that is a huge commitment. Now this difinately fits Hatcher but it also could fit a couple more 4*s that have been discussed on here, so we shall all know in a few short weeks. Got to admitt this is fun and exciting for a football fan and ticket holder. Looking forward to next weekend!!!!

  • Silence from the mods. Tells me either you all are either way off base or you hit the nail on the head.

    Either way, the mods aren't going to comment on anything to do with the silent. And if you all keep trying to figure it out and post stuff on here like you know something, if you do get it right the only thing you could do is piss the recruit off. Yeah, we all want to know but just let it play itself out. There is nothing that anyone on this board can say to make a recruit come here. But there is always stuff that can be said and rumors that can be spread that could possibly make a player not want to come.

    Usually if someone is off base the mods will chime in...interesting to say the least. I dont know how anyone could say we cant get him considering he is giving us an in home visit.

    Talk is cheap, you don't know and no one on here knows but I like Stoops's chance being in front of the mother. With her wanting him to stay close and he isn't into ul, maybe Stoops can convince the mom that Lexington is really close and she could see her baby play every weekend instead of the sunny coast. Blood is thicker then sunshine sometimes. Do your stuff Stoops!

  • Signing day will tell the story on Hatcher. All that matters is whether or not he signs on the line. Sounds like we've got a damn good chance though.

    I still have a hard time believing he doesn't end up at UL.

    Believe it.

    You're right. I don't know... Just seems silly to think he is going to up and flip from a USC this quickly similar to taking the news that the Alexander kid not coming is great news. Both seem silly to me, but like everyone else, we will just see what happens.

    I'm all for some positive vibe, though. I am nowhere suggesting I'm unhappy. Just tempering myself quite a bit.

    Rumors are so disheartening, nothing solid and sometimes not even close to being true. I'll take a wait and see attitude, but like I said I wouldn't be sad if it was Timmons.

    After reading Rich Rod and Leach's books, it is fun to hear coaches tell stories how they would see on message boards and ESPN that a commit they knew they had locked up was going somewhere else.

    The only thing that I hear that seems to be true is that his momma really didn't like him going so far away. So when all of this broke open with UK hiring a new coach and ul bringing in Quick, it sounds like she really wanted him to decommit, and come to ul but he really didn't want to. So UK looked like a another option to him which is why he agreed to an in-home visit by Stoops. Hopefully our guys can make momma feel good about him being so close to louisville by coming to Lexington and she can watch him every Saturday.

    I don't steal from others. If you came here with any ounce of credibility behind you, or offered any sort of reasonable knowledge or reference... I would accept your money.

    Go ahead and save this as your hopeful future sig.
