Not many true freshman can step in and play DL or OL in the SEC, but there is every opportunity for Paschal to do just that at UK in 2017

Sure there is. The SEC makes an entire list of true freshman d-linemen and o-linemen who performed very well at the end of every season.

Paschal will play early at UK. That's one of the things our staff offered him in the in-home visit.

Probably why we are his leader.

Sorry guys, I said this made Paschal, arguably, the most highly RECRUITED player under Stoops. I was not focusing on his RATING.

I understand the ratings, but there is an alternate method that measures quality of class based upon the number and quality of offers, or better, they measure how highly recruited players are/were.

Young had like 7 offers, Drake Jackson, 10, C. J. Conrad 14, etc., and Rivals keeps the info publicly available for years . . . . I just looked up the 3 players I listed.

So I always go to the archives/player profiles and see who, and how many offered.

Yes, I realize that Landon Young's commitment as a high school frosh lowered his ultimate number of competing offers, and had he played it to the end, he could have had 40 or 50, but it is still a pretty good measure for a whole class, in that everyone has early commits, and some who commit only on NSD.

And I've always had a gut feeling that the number and quality of offers is a better measure than saying someone is a "5.9 4 star."

Paschal would be the biggest surprise of all recruits in the Stoops era. Not a Kentucky or Ohio kid, plays DE. highly rated D Lineman are the most difficult to recruit IMO. I know his brother is a GA for UK (or i believe he is), but still a very impressive get if this staff can pull this one off.

Saw that, thought something more concrete could've come out since thread was started.

I feel like I saw somebody say that he would announce Wednesday or something, I dunno though. With everybody logging their CB picks now (last 7 picks have been for UK, all coming today), I'd say it would be in the next couple of days.

Agree. My son graduated and is a still good friend of Paschal. He's been talking Oklahoma and Maryland. Not sure the family was fond of the lack of playing time he received. Never know though.
