Looks like the weekend is ending on an upswing. Javess Blue, a JUCO wide receiver, has committed to Kentucky. Blue, who was also considering offers from Arizona State, Mississippi State, Texas A&M, and West Virginia, is rated four stars by ESPN and could start for Kentucky next year. According to our own Rashawn Franklin:
This JUCO WR (Butler County C.C., Kansas) is one of the more sought after prospects in this class. He is a big wide receiver with great hands. Blue is also a precise route runner, who has the strength to shake off would-be tacklers to get yards after the catch. He’d be a great addition to Kentucky’s offense… and ready to contribute immediately. He and offensive coordinator Neal Brown are familiar with each other from his visit to Texas Tech in early December.
ESPN also calls Blue “an explosive playmaker as an outside threat and punt return specialist” with “the skill set to be an immediate contributor and possible impact guy in the right situation.”
Get your Javess Blue/UK Blue signs ready. Javess Blue, come on down!

January 13th, 2013 at 6:58 pm

January 13th, 2013 at 6:58 pm
I meant football
January 13th, 2013 at 6:59 pm
sorry ive been drinking
January 13th, 2013 at 6:59 pm
What a GREAT NAME for a UK recruit!
January 13th, 2013 at 7:02 pm
Could it be true?? A better football season than basketball season in 2013??
January 13th, 2013 at 7:03 pm
Thank you Mr. Blue !! These top recruits coming on board will start a landslide a “BLUE – RUSH” if you will.. Keep on bringing the talent we will stand behind them and coach and fillCWS look out folks the doormats are no more !!!
January 13th, 2013 at 7:05 pm
We need more 4 & 3 stars to compete in the SEC in FB. Look at UL, within a few years of Kragthorpe decimating them, Strong signed a few 3 and 4 stars and they take Florida to the woodshed. Joker settled for 1,2 and 3 stars and that is too much to overcome in the SEC.
January 13th, 2013 at 7:09 pm
i can just see it now, the cheerleaders start leading the chant, “BLUUUEEEE!!!!” “what?” “BLUUUEEEE!!!” “what?”
January 13th, 2013 at 7:10 pm
This is a great addition to the team and the other JUCO players already coming on board. Would love to have Samples and Woulard as well!! Keep ‘em comin’ Stoops!! Come on Ryan, you know you want to wear the Blue and White and be part of something really special. Love the direction we are going and can’t wait for signing day and then the spring game!! Go ‘Cats!!!
January 13th, 2013 at 7:15 pm
Can he shoot the 3 ball?
January 13th, 2013 at 7:18 pm
Awesome last name btw!
January 13th, 2013 at 7:19 pm
Still think cal should let WCS okay football too… No one could stop him @ WR
January 13th, 2013 at 7:20 pm
Dont forget to site your sources Kristen…
January 13th, 2013 at 7:22 pm
It’d be better if he was a 5 star
January 13th, 2013 at 7:26 pm
I can’t wait till Football season,… I can’t believe I’m saying that.
January 13th, 2013 at 7:34 pm
Did #1 up there really say 13-0? I’ll tell you what. You give me the $15 and I’ll kick you in the nuts, smack you in the forehead, and call you stupid. It’ll be just like you went to Vegas and placed that bet.
January 13th, 2013 at 7:39 pm
Matt owes all us die hard football fans an apology. Has said time and time again that we can’t consistently recruit high caliber players at Kentucky. It might never be UF, AL, LSU level but we are going to be close. This is fun!
January 13th, 2013 at 7:39 pm
JUCO players. LOL.
January 13th, 2013 at 7:40 pm
22- dude, don’t ruin my wet dream okay. 13-0 and hot naked btiches. But I do enjoy pain, so kicking me in the crotch would be kinda awesome. Make me vomit please.
January 13th, 2013 at 7:41 pm
JUCO….Stevie Johnson and Chris Matthews were pretty good JUCO wideouts!
January 13th, 2013 at 7:44 pm
JUCO means not good enough or not smart enough to get a scholarship.
January 13th, 2013 at 7:46 pm
27. U mad bro?
January 13th, 2013 at 7:50 pm
Come at me bro
January 13th, 2013 at 7:51 pm
24. Blue Troll- I would argue that JUCO’s are more prepared to compete in D-1 than true freshmen due to the fact that they are semi-experienced. And we need players NOW, not in 2 to 3 years after being developed.
January 13th, 2013 at 7:53 pm
27- You saying I’m not good enough? You mad tro
January 13th, 2013 at 7:53 pm
How many JUCO players are recruited by the elite teams?
January 13th, 2013 at 7:55 pm
In Cam Newton’s case, it was definitely the “not smart enough” category.
January 13th, 2013 at 7:58 pm
32 you moron – go check the top 100 list for what schools are recruiting JUCO players. Then go play in traffic you idiot. You have no clue what you are talking about.
January 13th, 2013 at 7:59 pm
#26..Aaron Boone & Lance Michelson were both jucos…
January 13th, 2013 at 8:00 pm
#32 check out #3…….There you go
January 13th, 2013 at 8:01 pm
@32 UK has to settle for JUCO players because they don’t have me buying ahem “recruiting” players for them like UofL does.
January 13th, 2013 at 8:02 pm
and like I did at Miami
January 13th, 2013 at 8:03 pm
I sure hope my “recruiting” doesn’t get UofL in trouble with the NCAA.
January 13th, 2013 at 8:06 pm
Hey can someone tell me how Texas A&M has 34 commitments when the SEC says a team can only sign 25?
January 13th, 2013 at 8:06 pm
Blue Troll- The BCS National Champions Alabama, has the #18 JUCO. Do you consider Alabama Elite?http://espn.go.com/college-sports/recruiting/football/story/_/id/8743658/espn-junior-college-100
January 13th, 2013 at 8:08 pm
Blue on Blue….looks good and sounds good.
January 13th, 2013 at 8:20 pm
Congratulations Kentucky! You’re moving up in the world. You are no longer LAST in the SEC in recruiting. You are now 13 out of 14 teams! Stoops has improved your program already.
January 13th, 2013 at 8:28 pm
love stoops he is our calipari on the football feild.
January 13th, 2013 at 8:55 pm
Your little football team down there is so cute and adorable.
January 13th, 2013 at 9:23 pm
Who cares…its basketball season
January 13th, 2013 at 9:37 pm
Love the last name and hope his first is not indicative. Hopefully JaVes is varsity level!
January 13th, 2013 at 10:10 pm
Stoops needs to recruit a kid with the last name “White”. Then when we do the Blue/White cheer those guys will really turn it on.
January 13th, 2013 at 10:13 pm
Don’t listen to me. He was supposed to go to my school but found out that we don’t accept credits from any other school because they teach big words and they’re math is more then counting to ten.
January 13th, 2013 at 10:21 pm
Reading his scouting report he should be a 5 star.
January 13th, 2013 at 11:37 pm
dont look now but marquez white (4* db and current florida state commit) now saying he will be flying to lex for a visit this coming weekend. we are not going to miss on all of these kids and if we get half of them we could have a very very solid class by anyone’s standards.
