According to rivals, he is committed to Tennessee. If he's solid, then why would he say he's blessed by a UK offer?

It says he has a 705 lb squat. WOW!!

Furthermore, why is it such a big deal that we offered him unless he had mutual interest? UK has offered loads of high-caliber players, but not all of them get such recognition. Him and media guys both commenting on it.

As good as he looks he could be battling for 2nd string at ut. He's only played 2 years of football and could get squeezed out there. He'd play here on ability alone.

That could explain his tweet about Saban's comment and not sitting the bench. Or something to that effect.

"He (Saban)told me they don't recruit Juco guys so they can set on the bench he's bringing me in to start & play"

Stoops has perhaps an unprecedented record of developing and placing defensive linemen into The League, many as high draft picks and that will likely continue this year with CJ and hopefully Mel Lewis. That must be a significant selling point for a player like this IMO

It will be hard to get a visit let alone commitment but you gotta try like hell and make then say "no".

He said he is very interested in a visit to UK now though. Atleast he's considering us.

Plus he's got bama and Washington likely getting his last 2 visits. Grew up in western Canada so Washington is close to family . Not impossible but it will be hard to get a visit.

Stoops has placed jucos into the pros at UK. Z killed it this year. Melvin Lewis and CJ will be in someone's camp next year. I think we will see Miggins thrive next season with a spring under his belt.

He isn't a "soft" commit to Tenn but just like in 90% of most HS players, Tenn will have to defend off a few schools. We were his first major offer and as of now I think Tenn is going to get him but you seriously never know about these kids now days. They love to play the game.

Does anyone know who his lead recruiter is here at UK? I looked at his Rivals profile and it doesn't even list UK since they do little updating after a verbal commitment. I am just trying to figure out if it is one of the new staff members responsible for him getting an offer or if it is maybe Brumbaugh

Yes, Brumbaugh.

Seems like a standup guy. Giving shoutouts to all the schools showing him interest, regardless of his standing verbal. Nothing wrong with that IMO. Really hope he decides to visit. Kelly-Powell too.

Regardless of whether we get him or not it's good for the Cat's to at least be in the hunt for player's like this. I tend to think given how they are trending up he'll stick with UT, but it's worth the effort to at least take a shot. Hopefully sooner rather than later we start to land a few 5* guys.

Well they did say it's possible for Landon Young to get bumped up again. YNK[eyeroll]

I sure like the way he "disposes" of blockers; and he sure likes to hit QBs. I would certainly like to see him as a Cat. Go Cats!!

agree with this. what i can find says it will be volz followed by washington and then outside chance at bama. our staff has done some good work to even get in the conversation this late
