  • Kentucky Football Roster - 2013 with Commitments



    Work-in-progress here, hang with me. Will add commitments that we already have. I believe we have 68 players on scholarship who will be returning next year (unless something happens), and there is an overall limit of 85 total on scholarship at any given time--so we're sorta working with a number of 17, give or take, as the number for 2013 signing day.

      By the way, I used the Rivals' classification of athletes for players. I don't know what the staff would do with Battle, Dowdell, and Thomas, but included possible positions in brackets.

      Added information from dta (mainly) on players being recruited recently.

      If you have other information, feel free to drop it here, and I'll keep it updated.

      Please correct me if I am wrong. I remember a report after the hiring of Coach Stoops that he had talked to all the incoming class and he was going to honor 6 of the scholarship offers. I know in a recent report Reece Phillips mentioned that he was glad after talking to Coach Stoops as he was going to honor his scholarship offer.

      Jacob Hyde told Larry Vaught Stoops was honoring his scholarship, too.

      I didn't see the "six" scholarships/honor comment, but I'll be shocked if the commitment list stays the same. At this point, though, this is what it is. We'll change it as scholarships change.

      Really should add J.D. Harmon to the list, too. Remember, he had a scholarship offer last year but he did not accept it until UK filled up, so he lost out last year. He turned down an offer to grayshirt and be on scholarship in 2013, but I think there was a "promise' by Joker to put him on scholarship this year.

      There is no requirement that Coach Stoops honor that scholarship, either, and he may not--but keep him in mind when you're thinking about scholarships, too.

      IIRC UK cannot award Harmon a scholarship unti 2014. I believe all walk ons in football have to wait two years.

      As for the numbers, UK is scheduled to have 68 returning scholarship players, but I'd be willing to bet that at least eight or more won't be back.

      Of the commits from the Joker era, probably four won't have their commitments honored.

      I would be pretty shocked if UK didn't have a full 25 man class.

      When we get wind of one leaving, we'll update. I expect it, too.

      What do you guys think about Mobley fitting into this system? He is a powerfully back, but will he fit the system.

      Nicely done, Darrell, thanks. I hope you'll pin it to the top for easy reference and updates.

      We'll do something to keep it alive, Terminus. It is certainly a fluid situation; that board is going to change a million times between now and National Signing Day.

      He is now. Several others need to be added, too.

      Updated with Steve Borden signing NLI (or LOI, depending on how you acronym it.)

      I need to get this updated.

      Fun that it is changing so quickly with good recruiting.

      Good referrence at the dawn of CMS era. This needs to be pinned at the top, Darrell.

      We will figure out a place to put it on a semi-permanent basis, ribbonfish. Might be pinning it, might be a link, something. It needs to be done.

      Won't be able to address today, but hope to over the weekend. It needs updating, too, of course. There are a lot of names that need to be adjusted.

      Board is moving so fast, this was on page 5. Geez. That's a good thing, of course, but I was shocked when I went back to go find it.
