As mine were to the mention that Kentucky isn't capable of pulling a top recruit from the likes of South Carolina. We've already done it once this year.

Fair enough, Snodgrass was a highly sought after recruit, but he was not highly favoring us at any point either. Our top WR recruit is Shaq Davidson and he has been all year. Also, we are going after Terry Googer really hard, and have been all year.

With his inviting the general public to his announcement, the smart choice is Kentucky since he's from Wildcat Country.

That was kind of my thoughts as well. Our insiders have been cautiously optimistic about our chances but the home team may be hard for Barker to turn down. Really want him but he won't be the biggest loss for us as we have some really good depth at QB right now. Can never have enough though

Again, we're short on schollies to give this year. If he selects us, and I actually hope that he does, I'll not hold my breath until February.

As soon as he announced that his announcement will be open to the public I figured he was coming to UK. I doubt he'd want a bunch of UK fans there if he's picking SC.

South Carolina: "They came by last week and I think Coach Mangus is coming by tomorrow. I feel comfortable with Coach Spurrier and they've a prominent program with recent success. I really like the situation they have quarterback-wise going forward."

Kentucky: "They came in late with a new staff but they made up for it in a hurry by getting me down there. The coaches were at my school the second day after they got the job. They're done everything they can do to make sure I'm wearing the blue and white. There are a lot of things that go with that in this state, it can set you up with job opportunities in the future for life after football. On the field I like the offense and Coach Brown and all the coaches are cool and they're getting some good recruits right now."

Tennessee: "They're kind of different because I'm really familiar with that staff because they were recruiting me at Cincinnati. I was familiar with Coach Jones and Coach Elder because they've been on me for a long time. They have the best facilities I've seen. They're bringing in big-time recruits. Todd Kelly and Jalen Hurd, they've all been on me pretty hard to go there."

Barker took visits to Tennessee and Kentucky last month and said he had seen all he needed to after those trips.


JMO but it sounds like this kid is going to UK, gonna be a big get for them if he does pull the trigger

I threw this in another thread, but it's more fitting here

I certainly believe so, and have for some time. I believe Derek Kief is probably next, and wouldn't shock me to see Braxton Berrios end up at UK based off what I'm hearing right now.

I certainly don't think UK, or anyone for that matter, leads for Berrios, but I do believe UK is high on his list.

Interesting tweet from Towles that he deleted soon afterward.



ETA: Oops. Mike already posted it.

That tweet can be read a couple of different ways. Coming to UK, or going to USCe to compete against Towles.

Either way, I have a damn client meeting at 3:00.

USC's main board at gamecockcentral.com has a thread in which the fans are still SO confident. Going to be funny in about 40 minutes.
