It's not that serious. We'll get who we get and it'll be players we want who fit our system. If we poach some 5 or 4* players from the perennial powerhouses who seem to do well with them... For some reason... Then great.
State of 2023 Recruiting
- Thread starter Canned Heat
- Start date
Mmmm. Trevin Wallace and 23 other Wildcats say, hello!!
This season’s results will likely bear the best fruit for the 2023 class, just as 2018’s record helped lead to the big bump in the class of ‘20.
It is early for the 2023 Class, but we have two commits, and many of that year’s ultimate haul hasn’t even likely been listed, here, yet.
Sometimes a player shows up and doesn’t play up to their potential and others who are lower ranked plays at a higher level example Oxidine (spelling) was a 3 star yes there are others we all know about recruiting services can’t see all the players out there and why is it kickers/punters are never evaluated by the big services
Ox was rated a 5.8 4 star by Rivals and the 30th best DT in his class. Him being good is hardly a shocker.
Rankings are estimations. They are sometimes wrong, they are sometimes right. No idea how anyone could look at them and take them as gospel. Most of those top kids will pan out, but there's genuinely no way to predict who will or won't, and there's also no way evaluators can see every kid in the country.
Stoops has shown an ability to not only evaluate talent but forecast it down the road, and that's where UK is doing great things.

You missed more than the spelling.
Oxendine was a 4 Star, and the last piece of the defensive line class of 2020, which by star ratings ranked in the top three in the nation.
Big news as Dave Lackford put in picks for Kentucky today on Henderson County DE Saadiq Clements and South Warren ATH Cristian Conyer. Conyer is a 4* Rivals 250 prospect and Clements is a 5.7 three star. I'm particularly excited about Clements as his film is markedly improved from last year. He doesn't get much pub IMO due to where he plays, but he is now my #1 ranked prospect in Kentucky for 2023. I seriously think he has high four star potential if he hits the camp circuit next spring and summer and increases his exposure.

Massive, massive improvement over last year's film. As I said, he is now my #1 in-state prospect for 2023.
Hopefully it’s a Goodwin situation. I “think” they are visiting Bama together.
Thank you. It's like people didn't even see that post, just that he is visiting Alabama and are throwing in the towel. It's time for Kentucky football fans to quit having a defeatist attitude. Have Stoops, Marrow, etc not shown you anything yet?
I don't count Stoops and Co. out. Comment was in jest, though admittedly, it comes across as sincere.
Not trying to throw in the towel, Rock. Just a joke that fell (very) flat.
No problem. It's just unfortunately you still see those type of posts from people who are serious.I don't count Stoops and Co. out. Comment was in jest, though admittedly, it comes across as sincere.

He has visited bama so his stars will go up really like his potential (Clements) hopefully we can keep him
Now that 2022 is almost complete, might as well start up discussion re 2023. Any good scoop out there?
