Mark Stoops believes 2022 recruiting class could be one of UK’s best

Will Kentucky football’s 2022 recruiting class top the previous loaded classes of 2015, 2016 and 2020?

Mark Stoops thinks it has a chance,

In his Saturday press conference, Stoops voiced confidence in the potential of the 2022 class saying, “Big picture recruiting, I think it’ll be one of the best — when it’s all said and done I think it’ll be one of the best years we’ve had. So I feel very good about where we’re going and some of the guys we have in place.”

This message comes one day after 4-star quarterback and the top prospect in the state of Kentucky Gavin Wimsatt committed to Rutgers, despite a heavy push from Vince Marrow and UK.

So far, the Cats have landed commitments from a pair of 4-stars in athlete Jeremiah Caldwell and Paintsville offensive tackle Grant Bingham. They’ve also landed 3-star defensive back Andre Stewart and Corbin 4-star athlete Treyveon Longmire, as well as Pro Kicker’s top-ranked prospect Jackson Smith.

With Wimsatt no longer in the picture, Kentucky now have their eyes set on upcoming decisions from three 4-star prospects in brothers Keaten and Destin Wade, as well as Kiyaunta Goodwin.
