It's decision day for Kash Daniel.
The Paintsville linebacker will be making his college announcement today with the Kentucky Wildcats, Louisville Cardinals and South Carolina Gamecocks being his finalists. The Cats are viewed as the favorites, but there's no such thing as a guarantee in recruiting.
Will Mark Stoops and company seal the deal?
Tweet of the Day:
Kash Daniel would give the Wildcats the three top-rated prospects in the state of Kentucky (all 4-stars) and a top-15 recruiting class. #BBN

Kentucky Kernel columnist writes "Calipari would be wise to leave UK"
To which I reply, who is letting Louisville fans write for the Kentucky Kernal? In all seriousness, Calipari would only be 'wise' to leave UK if he were offered the absolute perfect NBA job, which may not even exist. There's really no logical reason Cal should leave, and this is just wishful thinking from another Cal/Kentucky detractor.
