The House of Blue

Like the list. i do think the staff adds one more olineman. and atleast two maybe three linebackers

Don't count out the Alexander twins. Just had a 3-day visit at UK, and they are big fans of our coaching staff.

Moody ain't happenin'. Don't see us taking two TE's.

I'll take your list with the following changes:

-Mykal Moody
+Mackensie Alexander

-Chocolate Wilson
+Mackenro Alexander

-Darren Dowdell/Devon Edwards
+DL

If no Timmons, which I doubt a little if we get Fant.

-Timmons
+OL

Alexander twins would be monstrous. When I first heard their names associated with UK I didn't think there was a chance. Great news about a three day visit. I'm sure they liked what they saw, hopefully it is enough to pull them to UK.

Don't forget about Cory Cooper. John Wall was apparently hosting him last weekend and presented him with a #11 UK football jersey that Cory and his family loved.

You've got me drooling over getting Timmons.

WD22..my bro. Id love the TWINS. I just dont see us landing them. Moody and Wilson however..are practically begging to don the blue. Moody reminds me so much of Randall Cobb with better speed that it's scary. Watch his tape WD22..you'll see what I mean. There is no questioning Moddys heart. Plays QB for Conway (like Cobb did at Alcoa) throws a nice 30 yard bullet with a tight spiral(much like Cobb) Runs about 50% of the time both in the gun and under center...theres one play vs. Myrtle Beach in which Moody outruns the entire MB secondary for a 60 yard plus TD.. only one close was D'Andre "Chocolate" Wilson..who rumor has it is a high 4.3 guy..Moody a high 4.4. Thats just hustle and heart. Moody will run through you, around you, or by you. Hes tough as cast iron.
And on the TE's, yeah..I see us taking 2...Shields is a sophomore but the others are juniors..we need playmakers at Te. The duo of Dowdell and Edwards gives us the perfect 2..ones a fast, athletic flex type Te(DD) While the other is a 6'6 250ish kid with brute strength and pretty good hands...that would be Edwards.
Of course..no way we get exactly what i picked us to land...we alsways get a NSD surprise..be it good or bad...(Good as in Justin Taylor...bad as in Jon Davis) I see some interesting things shaking out as all the Penn St kids decide where to go...some good kids gets pushed down or out of offers...its a 23/24 kid rotation...plus all the current PSU players that will take full opportunity of the free transfer..and that could lead to 50 plus kids going to other places than they initally intended. No matter what happens..2013 will be a very very INTERESTING recruiting year when it all shakes out.
Id love for Hunter Bivin to flip to Uk..and Reon Dawson as well.. probably wont happen but who knows? An Ohio State or illinois or Notre Dame could get greedy...want to gobble up the Penn State leftovers...ask a kid to wait...no better way to piss a kid off...see Justin Taylor/Daryl Collins on that...both had rides to the best program in the country in Bama..both got asked to Greyshirt..both said screw you Saban..I'll see you on the other side...(Thank you so much Alabama!! We will take both and use them wisely!! And I see both being huge contributors going forward for us!)
We also need like 3 great LB's. I see J.Benjamin (God, please..that kid is a beast!!) mabye Quentin James..we've had good luck with prep rb's te's moving to LB for us! And for #3 mabye Skai Moore...but Im sure Joker has his sights on a couple we dont even know about yet.
I agree on the 1 OL, Id also like to see at least 2 more DL..with one rush end.
Im telling you right now Uk is messing up not offering Jeffrey Canady..kid could help us at WR or DB. And im all for going after Kentayvious Hopkins (Bourbon co rb thats a freaksih athlete.) And if you ask me one kid Id want from Trinity...I would take Daylyn Dawkins...over quick, white, or Hatcher!!! DD is the son of a NFL great (Brian) and has more toughness than Quick in his pinky finger. DD runs a lot tougher than his 5'9 180 size and his acceleration is top notch. Hes also a great reciever/Kick returner and plays a mean cornerback..I think he was like 2nd team all state as a sophomore as a cb.

alright, you lose me when you go on the huge, LONG rants like this about players. Haven't seen anywhere where Moody has even remotely indicated that he is DYING to don blue. Your almost overly enthusiastic, almost delusional in some of your posts. Sorry, just how I feel. I get that your passionate, but just please tone it down a notch.

Do you guys that know more about the Alexaner twins than me..(which is just about everone) really, truly think we've got better than 50/50 chance here? Im just not seeing it. When it comes down to brass tacks..one of the major Fla schools will offer Mackenro as well and Id say thats that. Mabye they want to leave the state though. I hope like hell we get them. But Jonathan Cook, a 6'1 190 CB from Alabama that was graded best player in camp in Ole Miss...where lots of talent was..Yancey/Fant..among others...was begging for Uk love a week or so ago...I say lets amp it up Joker!! We want kids that want to be here. Especially 6'1 190 CB kids that have that much skill!!

No reason rompcat...just I think Phillips will be hard pressed to see the field with Max Smith/Pat Towles ahead of him and hopefully Drew Barker coming behind him!! Also..david Washington..I coulda put a couple words in for ol DW..he will help us out a lot..especially post Cobble/Rumph for his senior year...giving guys like Hyde and any other DL committs time to adjust. DW can play inside at DT or the jumbo SSDE in the 3-4..he was quick..even regarded as a possible De coming out of high school when he first committed to us!
Swain..I hope we do land him. 6'6 320ish..quick..long arms..perfect 3-4 SSDE that can als play DT. I just see the big guys coming in late on him. A lot could depend on where Montravious Adams goes, Jay Woods goes...if Ga, Bama, LSU fill up and dont knock his door down late..we have a great chance..but that being said..I dont see us beating out Georgia or a Bama/LSU/Fla ST for him when they do offer. Hope IM 100% wrong..I think we should offer his teammate Frazier..and allow the other two nice corners/dbs in truitt and the other kid to come in as preferred walk ons..play some coverage teams..fight for a scholarship when one open due to adademic ineligability!!
Thaks for keeping me on my toes ROMP!!!

Oh, I want Yancey really really bad..I want Fant too..bad..but Jon Cook just went to thier smae camp and was graded best player at the camp...over all positions!! And Cook was just in a post not long ago saying he wants to hear more from UK...??? Tell me you wouldnt rather get a kid that wants to be here over one that comes just because its the best fit..best offer..because its the best program to offer him AND his best buddy...sounds like Jonathan Cook really wants to play at UK..but weve backed off for some odd..VERY ODD..reason..you cant coach 6'1 190 at CB. Mabye Fant had a bad day..but Cook was stellar according to the camps offical post/article. Yancey graded out very well..Fant played well in spots, but had trouble holding up against larger wideouts...and had some focus/drops issues when getting reps at WR. Thats just 1 camp though, I still want Fant...I'll take any kid with a Fla ST offer...something just tells me Fant will lure Yancey away from UK..to FSU or Ole Miss...hope Im wrong.

Ill keep this short just for you Hogan!!
Moody, in a post, said after his trip to Uk campus..loved it..I could definitly see myself wearing Blue! Its no secret Moody/D.Wilson are close friends and want to attend same college..sorry about the longer posts but I like to do more than write a sentence or three and call it a post..thats more of a tweet if you ask me..and me..being a writer/aspiring author..do tend to get a tad windy. I do apologize..but I will never apologize for being enthusiastic about Uk football...I bleed blue..no questions..we could do with some more optimism..negative is so boring and it dosent help one bit, IMHO!!
Go Cats!!
