The House of Blue

There's an article up on the Orlando Sentinal's recruiting page from Monday where Badet say's UK still has a slight lead in his recruitment. So I guess we still have a hope of getting him.

Here's who I think we end up with:

1) TE - Borden
2) RB - Thomas
3) RB - Kemp ***
4) QB - Reece
5) WR - Blue
6) WR - Yancey
7) WR - Timmons ***
8) WR - Montgomery ***
9) OL - Meadows
10) OL - Meyers
11) OL - Day
12) DT - Hyde
13) DT - Reed ***
14) DT - Peterson
15) DE - Smith
16) DE - Bell
17) DE - Meant
18) DE - Hatcher ***
19) DB - Hytchye
20) DB - Willis
21) DB - McWilson ***
22) DB - McClain
23) LB - Clark ***
24) LB - Kelsey, Jr ***
25) K/P - Macginnis

That would leave Dowdell, Boynton and Bodkin on outside looking in, but, it definately fills the teams needs with some very high quality players with several guys with the ability to play various positions... No Woulard, Senat, Alexander(s), Samples, Badet, McCary, Gibson, Turner, etc, etc, but, don't feel too bad, because this will still be a top 25 class and in year 2 and 3, look for these guys along with the current 2nd and 3rd year players to be the centerpiece of something very special..

The one fact that we have in our favor, can you name the last coach besides the BEAR, that left for a better job?

I would be very happy with this list. I also think it is the most accurate guess out there with the exception of Samples. I just don't think we can flip him. I would add Woulard to this list.

With both Clemson and UCLA interested now, it puts our hopes at an all time low I would think. Hopefully he will remember how he was treated on his visit.

While I think UK has a great shot at Woulard, I think are chances have decrease a bit since last week. While he would be a great addition to this class, he's not really a need at this point but you take him if you can sign. Only way I think we take Badet at this point if Timmons decides he wants to slow play this process and wait for the elusive Ohio State offer. I really believe UK will offer Maka this weekend to get some more big bodies on the OL, he's basically like Peterson where he could play DT or OL depending how he matures. I believe we get Kemp if he's ready to take it, if not, I believe McCray is the next man up. I don't really see Stoops over signing in this class, you don't want to take any spots off when you are more and likely in on some big time players next year. This is all JMO so, TIFWIW

Depending on who we get at the other positions, we we take at least two and maybe three of the following players:
Ra'Shaad Samples
Ryan Timmons
Alex Montgomery
Jeff Badet
Janarion Grant
Donald Gage
Christian Cumberlander

Being reported on the other site that the staff is going to give Fred Tiller a look at WR. He was recruited as an athlete and if I recall many thought he would play WR last yr. My guess is it depends on how the class end up on the 6th as to whether he gets that look or not. I do recall he was pretty explosive on the offensive side.

Depends on if we get mackensie Alexander. If we do your starting corner are Willis and Alexander. With Quinn, Harmon, Mclain,Hytche,Dixon,Blaylock as depth.

Dang! They can offer way more fake girlfriends than us. We are screwed!
