On the blog: Lafayette's Jedrick Wills chosen to play in next year's U.S. Army All-American Bowl. Big honor http://bit.ly/1VGUCNF

Wills — a 6-foot-5 offensive tackle — is regarded as one of the top prospects nationally in the class of 2017, and his scholarship offers include Kentucky, Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, Notre Dame, Ohio State and several other programs.

This comes as no surprise to me at all. I wonder if anyone else from our state will make it next year? Who are the top 2017 instate players besides Wills?

Doubtful that any other in state kids get invited.

I was going to start a post that said... "J Wills commits!"

LOL!!

Well then if no other instate kids then hopefully a couple of our commits get invited then.

It's nice seeing the Lexington area producing some top level talent here recently. I wish it would consistently do so, this would help recruiting immensely.

I really hope we land him. We must keep guys of his talent level home if we want to take the next step.

I don't know Wills personality, but how nice would it be for him to commit early and start recruiting guys a la Drake Jackson last year?

Cole Bentley had a good showing at the underclassmen AAA activities this year, any chance he positions himself for an invite?

Hope that's true. It's unusual for Shurburtt to project a highly-ranked recruit to UK.

Ultimately only a prediction but sure like seeing UK as destination rather than Bama.

Would think Mac Jones has a nice shot of being invited to it. Maybe Hudson as well.

They will both have a shot at it..

Jackson, Young, and Wills are a historical aberration. It could be a long time before we see that kind of talent around here again. To be successful, Stoops and Marrow must keep killing it in Ohio and also pull a couple of good players out of Florida, Georgia, Tennessee each year. Getting true big time talent out of Kentucky is the gravy on the steak.
