Brandon Gainer recruiting update

Today I spoke with UK recruit Brandon Gainer (Miami, FL). Brandon told me that UK was a possible destination, but he hadn't heard from the coaching staff in about a month. Brandon also told me he likes UK's running style and offense". I asked Brandon which schools were recruiting him and he said, "Oregon, UCF, USF, Kentucky, Louisville and Tennessee". Brandon also told me that Oregon, UCF and USF are recruiting him the hardest.

Brandon's high school coach is assisting him with setting up official visits and he will take all five, but none have been scheduled. They will start scheduling visits next week. Brandon also told me, "there's no holding back and will commit when the time is right".

I asked Brandon what is the one thing you fans to know about you and he said, " I'm a hard worker, dedicated, take my grades seriously and want to be successful". Brandon definitely seems interested in Kentucky, the SEC and playing time. Brandon expects to compete for playing when he steps on campus and says he has the size to grind it out, but also has the speed to make a big play in the open field. One thing is clear, UK needs to land another running back in the 2010 class and Brandon Gainer is a possibility.

  1. Why has the staff not talked to this kid in a month?
