State of 2023 Recruiting
- Thread starter Canned Heat
- Start date
I think it’s going to be a great battle to get him to Lexington hopefully we can pull him out of bama
Hopefully we have a couple of recruits close to making the call after this weekend of recruiting. We need to rule the State once again.

a lot of good stuff in this thread thinking we are getting close to the
next step with this program and it all starts with recruiting.
Eddie Gran was our primary recruiter in FL previously. Now Gran is a nonrecruiting offensive consultant. Eric Wolford, Mike Stoops, and Brad White have recruited FL prospects and are mainly handling the state now.
An earlier post suggested Chris Collins, but I do not think Collins is spending much time recruiting in FL. Collins has been recruiting jucos in MS, and has spent some time recruiting in GA.

Collins is recruiting north Florida. He was in Orlando the other day. Mike Stoops will be recruiting an area from roughly Tampa southward.
FL is a big state. A group of UK coaches are covering FL now. For example, Coach Coen is recruiting Anthony Colandrea out of St Pete and Dylan Rizk out of Ft. Lauderdale. Mike Stoops is recruiting Andrew Rumph out of Palmetto. Eric Wolford is recruiting Lucas Simmons out of Clearwater and Gernorris Wilson out of Lakeland. Brad White is recruiting Will Norman and Jordan Hall, both out of Bradenton.
I have not suggested that Chris Collins never goes to FL. He has not been there a lot, but he is recruiting Dijon Johnson out of Tampa.
Yes, but generally it will be Collins in north Florida and Stoops in south Florida.
I could prove what I offered with a list of links, but I don't want this thread to get off topic like before and would rather emphasize the positive. The bigger picture is that UK's recruiting volume in FL is on the increase again. Eddie Gran and Darin Hinshaw formerly covered FL, but of course they are gone. Since then, White, Coen, Wolford, Collins, and the elder Stoops have been recruiting in FL. In time, we will see that will continue.
I'm not sure what you are getting so sensitive about here. I didn't disagree with you. Just pointing out that while sure, a different assistant may recruit one or two guys due to a connection with a coach or high school, the two assistants that I named are responsible for the lions share of those two particular geographic regions (south Florida & north Florida.)
Review this and similar threads: that has been the cause of at least 40% of “distractions” from the subject(s) of these threads.
Yeah I'm not commenting on it any further as I hate when these threads get away from the topic. Just wanted to clear that up.
I mentioned here a while back this kid and his family have been trying to reclassify for hhe 22 class to get in before some kind of rules are applied to the NILs.
Rumor is he will announce he is reclassifying to the 22 class, will announce and sign this week.
He's visiting A&M this weekend said for the third time. Not sure how they could have room this year. Where are you hearing he is going?
That he is visiting A&M and they are presenting a Nil package to him. They are becoming the Yankees of college football. Jimbo better win big very soon.
But also hearing the upper classmen are ready to revolt because they want theirs too and the NIL isn't flowing as freely for them. Expect gas prices to rise again.
I’m not counting on that. He’s done no better than Stoops, and was lucky to win at home in ‘18 in overtime.
I think he is a decent coach, but I am not in the group that has come up with all this NIL funding to win a championship,it has to be a pretty good amount. They won't be expecting Jimbo's, 8-4 record.
He has been to Athens 3 times since the NC game, but Jimbo got the last weekend to present his offer,now I am sure we had one out there but we can't match A&M money. About the only edge we have is being close to home now and I think Trey Scott is the best DL coach in the country, of course I am biased but the product he puts on th he field gives that crediability

If it's true about the OL coach moving on, then CMS/UK AD can assign one of the off the field assistants to cover for him until someone is hired. So it could be Gann, is that his name?, Or anyone of the support staff members to recruit off campus until the new OL coach is hired.
Dead period is here and lasts the entire month of February, so hopefully a hire should be made by the time it ends.
Be ideal to have him in by spring practice, otherwise no need to rush.
Edit. Seems some classes have not been completed yet, the plan is still to play college ball in 22, he just hasn't met all the requirements to graduate this year
He left Fla. St. in tatters. I’ve never really bought into the Jimbo hype.
He has a NC on his resume, FSU was ready to run him out of town until he pulled that off. I don't really know what happened after that to get FSU to where they were when he left. His talent level at FSU was as good as it gets anywhere he went. FSU boosters aren't paying him the amount they are paying him and then add to this NIL money they are supposely stocking up to finish 3rd in the West. The class they have put together is elite, before the last ranking was considered the best class ever signed and they are still in on a couple of 5* guys and likely getting both. But it's been expensive and that is why I said Jimbo doesn't have long to prove it's worth the FIL. The issue for Jimbo now is getting those FIL deals for players already there. They feel like they deserve bigger deals than incoming guys. I can see how that will become a headache for every coach.
Just stop trying to make this personal. There is no purpose. The thread is about the recruiting class, and you previously agreed to stay on point.
