They may flip Gilbert he was here last weekend. The only OL they appear to still be recruiting is woo Spencer and he's about to take his OV this month. He will most likely be the only one they add thru HS. They will try to add another thru the portal
How good is Woo Spencer ?
What other offers does he have ?

If Cinci hires Hartline as head coach, recruiting Ohio will probably be harder than it was when Fickell was there.

I like that this class seems to be rounding out pretty well. It’s not up to the standard we should expect given Stoops’ salary, but it could finish strong.

This DB class looks incredible! I remember though when we were hoping to get A single 4 STAR DB in a class 10 years ago. This class... with the DBs, WRs, and the OL... we just need a stellar RB and QB, and a few more big DL, and a LB recruit.

I looked on Rivalslast night and UK is dead last in class ratings in SEC next year behind even Vandy. I realize they are not the last word in recruiting but that ain't good

Spencer got a futurecast to UofL from their rivals guy? I wonder if academics are a bigger hurdle than we hoped. Obviously the futurecast could be wrong too

Spencer to UL is prob happening according to JR. He said UK drug their feet waiting for him to get eligible. UL came in and made him a priority. As of now it's trending that way. His academics are good now

Vince doesn't usually drop the ball on his personal guys he has been working with for years. And in such a sloppy way. Another great piece to their great class probably.

For now I’m trying not to be frustrated, but that will change if we’re paying Mark top 8 money and he uses NIL as an excuse for results that don’t live up to his salary.

This is disappointing. Got to be more to this story of why UK essentially is passing on him.

UK is definitely not passing on him. They had been waiting on him and were hosting on an OV this month. They're pushing for him but as of this morning UL had taken the lead

No big deal, a big strong mobile interior 4* O linemen wouldn't help UK these days. letting Satt & his crew develop positive momentum with Louisville city high schools isnt a problem either.

Worse it looks like they are gonna get Herron also. They may be gaining momentum with aspirations which wouldn't be good

Interesting thanks for passing along. If you can say, where are you hearing that
Lackford put in FC for both. Rowland confirmed Spencer but thinks UK isn't completely out. Rowland thinks UK has a shot at Herron because he likes his fit in the defense. Lackford is a top source for the Louisville/ Ohio /Indy areas

Losing enough players in the trenches to them and we’ll lose control of the rivalry

When you have limited scholarships to give, you need to make sure those players are eligible. We've had enough kids that never made it to campus or couldn't continue because of grades. I get why they would be waiting.

If he is going to sign with UL, he was never "a lock" for UK.

Not concerned at all and don't think that will come close to happening. Would like to sign Spencer if he is academically eligible. Good guard prospect, but let us not think he is a program changer or a series flipper. Do not underestimate Austin Ramsey or Grant Bingham.

Losing Spencer would suck but losing aspirations would seriously hurt
