OK, "Bear" with me here for a few ticks Bearcatz... Timmons...is a 4 star..90 rating recruit by Rivals...Fant...a 2 star 78 rating. Yeah..Fant has a FSU offer..but past that Ole Miss, and UK, its Middle Tenn St, WKU, ect. Timmons has Arkansas, Uk, Purdue, illinois...with Ohio St, Bama, USC..both of em..getting ready to pop. And since this is 247 lets go by 247 ratings...Timmons..90/Fant 78. Timmons is 5'11..closer to 6'0 185..Fant..5'10, clsoer to 5'9..and 160...Timmons is much faster than Fant too. Timmons listed at 4.40/Fant at 4.48..I have personally watched Timmons run a 4.36 and have heard reports of 4.31.
And as far as the competition they play..Atlanta is not the hotbed of Georgia..that would go to southern Ga, the Lagranges, Valdostas, ect ect. Timmons plays in 5A football..vs the Bowling Greens, Warren Centrals, Hardin teams..last year Timmons rushed for 1,382 yards..at 22.3 yards per carry with 20 td totes..he also caught 38 passes..for 1,100 yards and 18 Tds..thats 28.9 yards per grab and nearly 50% (47%?) of hs grabs went for scores. Thats 100 touches for 2,482 yards and 38 Td's ..thats 24.8 yards per touch..scoring on 38% of those touches. That was Timmons junior year. Hes only getting bigger, faster, stronger as he matures into a man...I see Timmon ending up 6'0/6'1 195/200 and being one of those rare sub 4.3 40 guys with a 40" plus vertical. And hes tough to boot. Timmons is the 2 time regining 100m dash champ in state..and held fastest time last year regarless of class(A-6A)
the only dangerous thing about this post is guys trying to turn it into Fant vs Timmons...I want Both ....Timmons can come in immeadiately and bring help to Uk's offense as both a reciever and a runner..and returner too. I just dont see many 160lb corners playing in the SEC. or 170 there are a couple..but 99% of guys 160-170 cant tackle a SEC RB like Lattimore, Trent Richardson, ect..and if they have to..they wont be long for the injury list.Fant can help us..just not as soon..he'll need to add some weight..get to 175..180..so his body can hold up. Timmons is SEC ready right now. That siad..I do not or do not claim to know it all..Im just going by stats..and my own personal views of Ryan Timmons..Ive never watched Fant beyond his highlight reel. Kid could be a Beast..im just not holding my breath untill he adds weight and strength.This post was edited by goldenbearcatz on 7/25/2012 at 12:06 AM

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.

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.
nice post. Good to see some positive vibes.This post was edited by hoptownukfan on 7/25/2012 at 9:55 AM

Hopkins and Canady won't see an offer. They have a preferred spot if they want it, but that's it. UK's recruiting is on a whole different level this year. We will be selective from here on out.
I love Devon Edwards' game and I share a last name with him. Darren Dowdell, same thing, great player, great hands. Just can't see UK taking 2 TE's this year with so much talent at need positions left on the board. I think we see UK take 1 TE this year and 2 TE's next year.
Moody, maybe he is interested in UK, but the mutual interest is not there. Not sure who's decision that was.
Chocolate would like a UK offer, yes, but I doubt he gets it. UK takes Boaz Joseph and Mackensie Alexander and runs. I'll be anxious to see if Blake McClain holds a spot if Boaz and Kwonsie commit. Also, at 5'9, he better be able to run a 4.3. He sure as heck does not have the height to lock down SEC WR's.
Minter, I had not heard that about John and Corey Cooper, thanks for sharing! And I love the optimism!
Johnathon Howard may be more of an option now that Clemson has taken a few WR's lately. They still hold the top spot, IF they want him.
Johnathon Cook - just because a player wants to hear more from a school, does not mean he is "begging" for an offer or would have them as his leader. He's an SEC kid and a great player, but UK is keeping their distance for whatever reason and I am fine with that.
Yancey, and likely Fant, will be Wildcats by the end of the month IMO.

Is UK still actively recruiting Edwards and Dowdell? I haven't heard anything about TE recruiting in a while.
I don't see why the staff wouldn't take McClain, Boaz, and MacKensie if they all wanted to come. Blake could possibly play safety as well.
WIth us recruiting MacKenro Alexander, Austin Logan, Chequan Burkett, and others, I'm more interested to see how the safety situation plays out with Jalen Battle unless he is being recruited for another position.
