Been busy at work the last few weeks, and haven't had time to weigh in on the 2015 recruiting. Gonna try and sit down this weekend and compile a list of offers from the various sites, so we have a starting point on where the 2015 class might come from for discussion purposes.
I do know that Damien Harris from Madison Southern will get the full court press, and personally I'm hoping we can get him on board in a 2015 version of Drew Barker and have a stud to rally the recruits around. Rated the #1 RB on Rivals, and a high 4* on 24/7. There will be several other in-state kids that UK will make a hard push for (Eli Brown out of Bowling Green is another off the top of my head).
In all reality, 2015 recruiting should pretty much mirror 2014...lock down Kentucky, hit Ohio hard, few kids from the south. I think the Virgina/Pennsylvania/DC/Maryland area will get hit harder this go round, as Tommy Mainord starts to recruit that state harder. I also think you will see a greater number of 4* get on board (personally, I think half the class will have a 4* ranking by one of the 3 services). Not sure if UK can pull any 5*'s other than the shot at Harris, but it won't be for lack of trying.
With that said...if you're on Twitter, make sure if someone RT's about a player mentioning UK or #BBN...retweet it as well. These kids need to see how motivated our fanbase is. I don't follow the recruits (feel creepy following teens on Twitter, but that's me)...but there are several members of the media and other well-known posters that follow the recruits and that's how I follow them. Also, following the coaching staff and show them your support and encouragement. Let them know the fans are behind them.
With all that said, I look forward to everyone weighing in on their thoughts and desires for the '15 class. Hoping that we can land inside the top 10 next February going into a newly renovated stadium and a bright future.
