Heeeere They Come!


Looks like there will be several recruits visiting UK this weekend including D J Howard (Ath), Raymond Sanders (RB), and the Stephenson HS group (Chris Sharpe (CB), Jabari Johnson (LB), Ronnie Shields (TE), and Michael Thornton (DT)).


As an aside note, I have heard that Michigan State met with Skyler Schofner and that he will indeed be a Spartie.

  1. Where is it confirmed that Skyler Schofner will remain a Spartan. Is he for sure not visiting this weekend?

  2. That info was relayed to me by Aaron. My understanding is that the Spartie Coaches were at his house last night--firming him up.

  3. I am just so excited about the Stephenson bunch ALL coming and bringing Thornton. My wish list is now- Thornton, Humphrey, Sharp, Howard and as long as I'm wishing, Shofner too. That would give us another DT, WR, CB, RB and OL. And vault us up LOTS of notches in the recruiting ranks. I'm sure we won't get them all but 3 or 4 would be a STRONG finish!

  6. Sam Simpson, according to Gidel, has been working on getting Schofner to visit and said he would host him if he does visit. Come on "SKY"ler .. you will look good in Blue

  7. I spoke to Rob Gidel today and he told me that Schofner and Simpson have become pals. However the Michigan State coaches visited with him last night and he appears to be a lock to be a Spartan.

    Also, Jerrell Priester took his visit to Vandy and appears to be a lock. However, he still has to score higher on the ACT to get in there. He likely won't get his test results until after signing day which could hurt UK. However, if Priester doesn't qualify and wants to go to college he oculd get out of his LOI to Vandy and choose another school.

    Also, it appears that Xavier McFadden will be visiting NC State this weekend.

    Also, UK could land as many as five (5) kids from Stephenson (which is huge). It would not suprise me if all five guys end up at UK. I think UK must offer Sharpe which they hadn't based on the last reports.

    I think UK lands DJ Howard. Bottom line, he wants to run the ball and won't if he goes to Auburn. The Tigers are loaded with depth at running back for the next couple of years.

    Sorry, can't do an actual post as I'm still out west. I will be back on Saturday evening. Just remember, this is football recruiting and things can change quickly.

  8. Rob said in a HOB post that he spoke to Schofner after the Spartans visit and was NOT impressed. The not was in capitals by Rob.
    Keep fingers crossed that Skyler comes down in the next 2 weeks.
