Kentucky football is on a tear right now in the recruiting game.
The latest commitment came from 2016 three-star defensive tackle Kobe Smith, whose offer sheet suggest he's one of the better three-star guys you'll find. After also getting four commitments from 2017 prospects this week, could we now see UK dip into the Class of 2018?
Five-star wide receiver Jermaine Eskridge is giving Kentucky a lot of love on Twitter, and UK commit Mac Jones seems to think Eskridge could join the BBN soon...

The Top 25 fan bases in college football
The guys at Saturdays Down South take a look at the best fan bases in college football. Kentucky might no be on there right now, but they certainly were when they were making bowl games on an annual basis under Rich Brooks.
