The House of Blue

I'm gonna say an instate kid, someone that believes in blue.
A lot of negative press over joker being thrown in the recruits faces.

I think the main sells UK has right now is family atmosphere, early pt, academics (cats center), and sec.

Looks like UGA is pulling a Texas (albeit I haven't looked at their list yet) and locking up in state talent early, then narrowing it down and focusing in game changers even more later on.

Could be a good thing for Uk considering how many kids UK pulls out of there, UGA and ga tech can't take em all.

Hell look at Texas A&M. 15 commitments, all from Texas, with 7 of them being 4*.

Bright side...UK loves picking up kids from GA and with the Dogs filling up the bus...should leave kids open to commit to UK vs. waiting to see what UGA is going to do.

I hate those comments.

I think any additional early commitments will come from out of state prospects, primarily those in the South. There is just so much negativity bombarding in state prospects, so I think any additional in state players considering UK will wait and see how UK looks this fall. Meanwhile, some of your prospects from the deep South just hear less of that on a day to day basis and view an offer from UK as a chance to play in the SEC.

You may hate those comments as I hate to write them. But the truth is what it is. PERIOD.

That is untill the over all football talent in the high schools here in KYcan get much better.

To play in the SEC is tuff, unlike Lville where avg talent can get you to a BCS bowl.

Don't forget that JD Harmon is technically a 2013 commit. Also David Washington could be listed as a commit based on various interviews with him from other sites.

Recruits that keep an ear close to the ground know there's a very good chance that Joker and staff will be gone after next year. So they're going to be quite hesitant to sign up with the Cats. Certainly can't blame them for that.

The largest concentration of elite football athletes in the Commonwealth, year in and year out, is in Jefferson Co. Like it or not that is the truth. Yes, there are sprinklings around the state from year and year but the best athletes and the best football is played in Jefferson Co.

Sadly, because of UofL any gains UK makes are minimized due to the relationship that school has with the community, particularly the African-American community. Until UofL is marginalized and we can keep the elite instate athletes from looking elsewhere...UK football will always face an uphill climb. There is not enough talent in this state to support two programs, let alone an elite level SEC program. The population numbers and demographics just aren't there.

Think I read somewhere that Charlie Strong said he wanted to have his class wrapped up sooner rather than later. Cards have eight current commitments.
