Wide reciever recruiting

  • Deangelo yancey, Jeff Badet, Ryan timmons, Javes blue............................................................................................................ LIKE IT OR NOT that how its probably going to turn out.

  • Thats a nice group of wr. Timmons and Blue are both electric athletes and badet is very good in the slot. Yancey is a big physical possesion wr that will be big in the redzone

    quagmire

  • Could be. I still think Stoops seals the deal with Samples on his in home Monday!! BTW..anyone know what happened with Marquez Valdes? I really wanted that kid..6'3 200 4.4..attacks the ball in the air.

    BigBlueDawg12

  • He visits this weekend I believe. I dont know Sample is hard to get a read on.

    Well put Quag. I agree. You have to have the Yancey types..big, 6'3 210ish kids with velcro hands that can go over the middle..take a hit and hold onto the ball. Chain movers. Timmons is absolutely electric..get him in the slot matched up with a slower saftey or a linebacker...its over. Badet too..a jitterbug type slot guy with good hands and make you miss skills. Blue is a bigger, more physical speedster at 6'0 190.
    All in all..a good group. If we can get Samples..thats icing on the cake. That kid plays way bigger than his size. Stoops goes in home with Samples Monday I think? Never underestimate this staff guys!! Anythings possible now..if you dont agree..how in the heck can you explain the nations #1 player coming to Lexington? Nkemdiche in on 25th? Crazy Great to even get a visit from that kid!!

    Valdes visits? Great!! Need kids like Valdez Quag..6'3 200..4.4..outstanding leaper..redzone nightmare. Get him 1on1 with a 5'10 cb and its gameover with a accurate pass.

  • I thought Valdes committed to NC State?

    Could be..personally dont know..I know I really liked his film. Kid is in the mold of AJ Green..IMO. Big time sleeper 3 star.

    BigBlueDawg12

  • He may have. I know he was scheduled to visit but he may have commited on his visit to NcSt. I think this staff gets Samples just a gut feeling.

    Deangelo yancey, Jeff Badet, Ryan timmons, Javes blue............................................................................................................ LIKE IT OR NOT that how its probably going to turn out.

    Here's a guess on the last six rides left, Clark(LB), Timmons/Samples/Gibson(who ever pulls the trigger first), Montgomery, Joseph, Kemp or McCray, and the best available player

    Why so serious?

    Well we already have two committed, Timmons is with Coach Brown tonight so lets hope for the best, and Badet looks like a Clemson lean right now.

    I think Badet tries to end up with Woulard goes so, you're probably got a good guess on that

    Gibson already commited to WVU . here my guess Jeff Badet, Ryan timmons, Samples, Montgomery Keith Kelsey, Kemp.

  • Im going with Timmons,Clark,Samples,Alexanders,Senat, And one more suprise recruit. That wow today had to be about somebody good.

    quagmire

  • We have 6 rides to 25 if nobody decommits or grayshirts. I believe we sign 8 more kids. that means two more are asked to grayshirt

    quagmire

  • Call me crazy..but I think we oversign..ask some kids to greyshirt. That said..I also think we have a good shot to wind up with the twins.
    I think this staff gets commits from a couple BIG TIME kids late..the type of kids you cant say no to..I will almost bet you we get 2 linebackers..thats a big need area..and with no visible commits..we told a very good Lb in Lyn Clark we didnt have room for him..I think the 2 are James Clark and Kieth Kelsey.
    I think we get Samples. Timmons. Kemp. I still think we get Jarran Reed.
    THat said..if players of the Twins, or the cardinal Mooney kids caliber pop late...you can bet we make room for them.
    I know one thing guys: This is SO FRICKIN GREAT!! Ive waited for this for so long..im glad to be here..and Im glad to be sharing it with guys like you Quag and Morbid!! And all the rest of the BBN!! AT Last!! At Last!! THis past month has been so exciting..just think what recruiting will be like when this staff has a whole year to work with??? Josh Edwards better get those typing fingers ready..hes in for one heckuva workload under Stoops and staff!! Take a peek into 2014...the kids were offering and have thier interest...OMG..OMG..WoW!!
    GO BBN..GO CATS!!

    BigBlueDawg12

  • I've been hearing people on boards suggesting G/Sing but I think most of missing out what Stoops can do next year, this is just the appetizer to what they can do in 2014.

    I hadn't heard this I hope the visit goes well. I would really like to see Timmons come to UK along with Samples,Kemp,The Alexander Brothers and Reed or Senat. It's such a great feeling to see our football program growing into an SEC competitor at last. I cant wait till the time comes when we contend for Sec championships right along with Alabama Georgia and the rest!!! GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!!!

    Says who?

    There is probably a 10% chance that's how it turns out. 3 of those 4 are currently in at least some jeopardy....

    Timmons is going to wait too long and lose his ride
    Badet won't be here without his buddy, but hey I hope we get them both
    Yancey is starting to rumor to be a GS candidate

  • sorry to bust your bubble, im a huge uk fan and always will be but youre jumping the gun on this SEC championship talk. Imo Stoops will be headed to a larger school after a couple years, i really hope im wrong and that he is in for the long haul with all of the upgrades and revitalized fan base but my gut is that it wont happen.

    bravesfan32691

  • You cannot over sign. You can only sign 25 in the SEC. If you ask a kid to grayshirt he can change his mind because he doesn't sign an LOI on signing day. It's a gamble.

    It is so hard to tell right now, there are so many combinations to fill our needs. But, I like to guess too!
    We flip 2, Hatcher and Samples. Timmons decides not to wait and pledges to the Cats soon. Kemp or McCray at RB. Reed rejoins Brumbaugh and Smith. Clark at LB, and that does it.

    Why would he? We've got 110 million dollars on the way to make our stadium,practice field and recruiting rooms as good as any. UK's athletic department has some of the deepset pockets in the nation to match salaries with anybody who would make him an offer. If he builds the program from the ground up and gets it competitive in the SEC why leave?? We are in the number 1 football conference in America and I really believe the administration is now on board to see our football program at the same level as the basketball program which is number 1. I may be dead wrong but I feel our days as the SEC's door mat are done!!! I've waited along time to see this so I'm sorry if you think I'm overly optimistic but my bubble is a long way from being busted my friend if anything it;s on the rise

  • I agree with all of what you have said and believe me i want all of this and have been dying for good UK football for a long time but I guess i'm just in the mindset where coaches go to a school, build it a little and then bail out after success to large football programs with a long history in that sport. I really do hope you have the correct opinion in this btw lol because i'm a huge football fan and this would be awesome!

    If he's more like his older brother Bob, he'll be for a long time. If not, we should be very much improved to where getting a good coach will be an easy sell again
