Yahtzee! Dort to UK!
- Thread starter Brock28
- Start date
Stoops and company have done a great job at finding 2 star talent and then a few months go by, the player jumps to a 5.6 or 5.7 3 star, with some big Schools offering once we do. So I trust Stoops. Now we just got to hold on to the young man.
You may want to check your facts because that is 100% false.
This is a message I just got from a guy from 247 who covers all three teams:
His teammate, who is also a DB, camped with him at UK's Sunday camp and as of now doesn't have an offer. His teammate is a 3 star prospect.
As others said, there's a great chance he becomes a high three or four star guy. Good size if he fills out..... Great speed
He's not a low rated guy THIS early. A lot of fluidity in these ratings

Yep, his name was Trevard LindleyI remember a certain 2 star corner that played here during the Brooks years that was pretty good.
Pretty sure La'Rod King wasn't a 4 star. And he was far from being the biggest bust in UK history. He actually had a productive career.
What caused Micah Johnson to not get drafted was the fact he was playing out of position all throughout college. No way should he have been a Linebacker. He ran like a 4.9 40 yard dash predraft. He was a 6'1 260lb backer that had no business being a backer. he should have put on 30 or 40 pounds and moved to DT. the only reason he didn't move positions is because he made it clear when he signed that he only wanted to be a backer. I'm sure Brooks knew he should move but was a man of his word.
I vividly remember Johnson staying on the field his last year in obvious passing downs while a Sophmore Trevathan was taken out for the nickle package. Crazy.
micah has had some success in the pros(Canadian League last i heard)....at Defensive Tackle....
He has a teammate, Kenih Lovely, that's a 3 star in 2018. He's a DB as well. I did an interview with Dort Jr and have 1 releasing tomorrow with Lovely. (Dort Jr is a 3 star on other services )
Here is (it's mine) an article on Dort Jr. And his commitment.

LaRod was far from a four star, a 5.5 three star, and I actually think he was one of a few in that class that exceeded expectations.
I loved the question asking Dort if other facilities he'd seen compared favorably to UK's and his rather emphatic reply of "Hell no!". I like this kid already.
Micah may have been out of position but he was not a bust. He had a very productive career on some pretty good defenses
Fair enough and a legitimate comment. At least you based it on your own observation and what you see which is always valid and not just the fact you heard he is a 2 star.

I admit that I was concerned when I first watched that video too. But then I went to Dort's HUDL and found that the video that KSR and many other sites posted was Dort's spring scrimmage video. I think you will like his real game video a lot better (I did):
