Football Recruit?
John Cole of Somerset, KY is one of, if not the top receiver coming out of this years senior class in Kentucky has been offered a scholarship to Vanderbilt and Stanford based solely on his speed. Running between a 4.2 to 4.3 40 at his visits he could be an explosive receiver for anyone interested. But with all of the recent talk about the UK football program my question is whether or not he is on our radar? In just his junior season he compile a state record 1,896 receiving yards and scored a KHSAA all-time best of 28 touchdowns. He not only set two KHSAA single-season receiving records last season, but he ranks fourth in Kentucky high school career receiving yardage just behind Mason County's Chris Lofton. And if he duplicates last year's numbers, John will claim the top spot. He ranks fifth in the state in career touchdown receptions and needs only 14 TD's to claim the top spot in the state's high school football history books. So far he has received offers from Eastern Kentucky University, Western Kentucky University, Vanderbilt and Stanford. Out of those he says he is going to go ahead and early commit before the season starts to either Stanford or Vandy.

Wow ...
Still, this quote makes me think he already has the offers the wants:
"The fact that John has the college offers on the table now, takes a lot of pressure off him," Cobb said. "The two main offers that he wanted from Stanford and Vandy are already there and if he decides to commit early the pressure is off him in terms of him feeling like he has to go out and put up big numbers every night."
Looks like he wants serious academics. UK can't compete with Vandy or Stanford on that score.
