Kentucky predicted to get #2 Overall Kellan Hall

Biggest football recruit in UK history?

BellyBall · Monday at 10:57 AM

He went from Oklahoma to UK after watching Oklahoma get manhandled. LONG way to go in this one. What this tells me more than anything is we need to look competitive in our big games.

Is it No. 15 Micah Johnson?

What was he ranked coming out of high school? Or did they even do rankings at that point? Genuinely curious. I can’t remember Kentucky ever landing a top ten national recruit.

Smeegs · Monday at 11:09 AM

I wouldn’t get too excited yet. He’s class of 28. Nowadays it’s damn near customary for top recruits to flip their commitment at least once in their last years of HS.

I’ll be psyched about this one when I see him actually wearing blue.

We need to lock down the Kentucky kids. We have to control the state.

I remember USA today doing a ranking every year, and Couch was number 1 or 2 I believe

Yeah you can’t really get excited about Football recruits until the letter is in hand on signing day.

I thought Vince said L was going to lock down the state ? ?

The title makes it seem like it is locked in.

Tim Couch and Dennis Johnson both were 5-stars before that was a thing. Dennis even had a 2-page spread in Sports Illustrated when he signed with UK.

CUJO_1970 · Monday at 12:05 PM

Kentucky needs studs, must keep Top-20 classes to move forward in the SEC.

Move forward in the SEC and the rest follows. Top-5 SEC = Top-10 in America and bound for the CFP.

UncleAdolph · Monday at 12:11 PM

I am loving this but I wonder why hometown Louisville was never mentioned as a school he was interested in ?
That has to sting the birds which makes this news even sweeter
Stein is the man !

I believe Dennis Johnson was the #1 ranked player nationally when he committed to us in 98.

Mdnerd · Monday at 1:42 PM

I can say he loves and has always loved UK. It really comes down to whether the program can give him what he needs. Just a year ago that was an easy no. Stein changed things fast.

I think he had a 2 page spread when he was in 8th grade lol

Good get Pope! Oh wait...

Anon200440 · Monday at 2:29 PM

Stein top 5 recruits in 1 year at uk : 1

pope in 3 yrs at uk: 0 (close on stokes holt and wilson though!!)

Get_over_it · Monday at 2:52 PM

Man I hope we get this kid and also I am still holding out hope we can flip Seneca Driver. I mean he has to see how much Stein is using the TE's.

Blu-ish · Monday at 4:21 PM

Louisville doesn't have the NIL for a player being recruited by Oklahoma, Georgia, Texas A&M, LSU, Oregon, Tennessee, and Ohio State.

Do you know that KH loves UK as a fact or presuming?

Not presuming. Im also not saying he's going to UK. Its a business decision more than anything. He has not told people where he's going as far as I know.

I’m about positive Couch was the #1 player in the nation and was breaking national passing records while doing so. I know DJ was either 1 or 2 but I’m pretty sure Couch was #1 and we almost lost him to Tenn.

Yep. Couch was pretty much the unanimous #1 player. He was named Gatorade and USA Today national player of the year.

Yeah, people thought he was gonna be like our Reggie White when he committed to UK. Didn’t quite work out that way.

Of course there were also a few folks who thought his son was gonna be like our Steph Curry. That sure didn’t work out either.

Agree 100% but man what a big one this would be. This kid is a legit difference maker.

Yeah Couch and Johnson, and maybe third was Doug Williams who was considered the top offensive lineman in the county from Cincy Moeller in 1981 and Antonio Hall was about the same from Cincy later on.

This needs to always be true.

bpsteve1972 · 2026-09-29T14:30:20-0500

Elam was also a difference maker

He was too skinny for the SEC when he got here but he was still one of our better players so he played as a true freshman and just got skinnier by the end of the season. That cycle repeated itself 3 times and he never put on the needed weight here. A redshirt year would have improved his college career a bunch.
