The Kentucky Wildcats Football Recruiting Big Board as of 6/05/13

We are bringing you up to date on the latest offers, commitments, comings and goings for Kentucky football.

Student Sports

All offers are verbal as are the commitments. No consideration is given regarding committable or non-committable offers. All ratings are from Rivals and all profiles are from 247 Sports. Rivals updated their ratings and rankings a couple of weeks or so ago. Most of those offered by Kentucky have now been rated. Rivals has not issued ratings or rankings for JUCOs.

Mark Stoops and staff continue to amaze and I'll show you how much you should be amazed by giving you the position rankings for each player. Another commitment today - 6/05.

Only one of our commitments has not yet earned a position rank, but many believe 2* Tymere Dubose will be ranked by the end of his season. Our highest ranked player for his position is 4* Drew Barker. Four commits, including Barker, are in the top 20 for their positions. Other than Dubose, no player committed so far is worse than 31st at his position. Pullium is a JUCO and Rivals has not rated JUCOs.

Kentucky has made 200 confirmed offers consisting of 1 QB, 5 RBs, 3 TEs, 22 WRs, 22 OL, 13 DL, 9 DEs, 19 LBs, 16 DBs, 15 Safeties and 11 ATHs. 55 offers for players committed to other schools (the UK offers are still on the table) and 10 committed offers.

The Cats have made offers to players from 23 states. Offers by state: Alabama 18; Arizona 2; California 3; District of Columbia 2; Florida 58; Georgia 38; Illinois 4; Indiana 5; Kansas 1; Kentucky 5; Louisiana 2; Maryland 1; Michigan 1; Minnesota 1; Missouri 2; Mississippi 3; North Carolina 3; New York 1; Ohio 31; Pennsylvania 4; South Carolina 2; Tennessee 5; Texas 6.

Each player's position ranking has been included to show you the kind of players this staff is recruiting and they are listed by rank below. Stoops & Company are still working on those who have committed elsewhere. They seem to be letting everyone know that it ain't over ‘til its over.

The Big Board may have to be updated once again after this week because several recruits will be visiting the week and we may have one or two more commitments.
