Fans looking to go behind the scenes as Kentucky football welcomes a new class on National Signing Day are in luck.
Coverage of NSD 2016 for UK can be seen on UKathletics.com and will begin at 8 a.m. ET on Feb. 3 and continue until around noon. For the third straight year, Kentucky Wildcats TV will produce a webcast live from the Nutter Training Facility that will break news of the latest signees as Mark Stoops' fourth and arguably best recruiting class becomes official.
The webcast will be broadcast live on UK's official website, as well as SEC Network +.
The live stream will feature exclusive access to Stoops and his coaching staff. Assistant coaches will join Freddie Maggard and Jeff Piecoro in a special "Xs and Os Room" to break down film of the signees and show how the Cats project as the future stars of Kentucky football. Joining Piecoro on the coverage will be Tom Leach, Dick Gabriel and Kentucky Sports Radio's Matt Jones.
Fans won't have to settle for only watching though. They'll be able to join the conversation and ask questions on Twitter by using the hashtag #B16BlueNation, and the best tweets will appear on the live stream.
The guys at Cat Scratches will also host its annual live blog, where fans can interact in real-time with assistant coaches, early enrollees and other special guests.
Fans unable to follow online can follow along on the Kentucky Wildcats Gameday app, available for download on the iTunes App Store and Google Play.
Be sure to check out the latest podcast to get a full rundown of the class and what to expect this week. As for who UK is expected to sign, here is a list of every current commit who is expected to sign their National Letter of Intent on Wednesday:
