National Signing Day is here, and the Kentucky Wildcats are poised to sign a monster class.
Even if UK doesn't add another pledge, as long they just keep all of their current commitments, they'll finish with arguably the best class Mark Stoops and his staff have assembled since coming to Lexington.
Thank you everyone for joining us to enjoy all the fun today!

There were several high-profile decommitments from players such as Mac Jones, Russ Yeast and James Hudson.

Jedrick Wills or Danny Davis could join Wednesday.
