January 28th, 2013 at 3:13 pm
This puts WKU on upset alert!
January 28th, 2013 at 3:14 pm
Loving it! This kid is a beast, plain and simple and will be a stud while at UK. Stoops is getting it done on the recruiting trail and I hope he keeps it up. Break out the sirens and bring your wheelbarrows because this team is getting loaded with talent.
January 28th, 2013 at 3:15 pm
Good news, Stoops is doing a great job. I thought you had to cheat like the cards to win football games, i’ve said all along, rec. some thugs, like the cards, get in trouble with your rec. corr. like the cards have but i quess i was wrong maybe you can do it the right way and win.

Awesome! Get back to work, Leachman. Stop reading the blog at work.
January 28th, 2013 at 3:17 pm
Will end up being the best player we have on the defensive side of the ball. Big pickup
January 28th, 2013 at 3:19 pm
Yea, baby. Looking forward to better days at Commonwealth!
January 28th, 2013 at 3:20 pm
Looks like BBK was in the know all along! How about some respect for Aaron Matt Jones?
January 28th, 2013 at 3:20 pm
Awesome! Welcome to Big Blue Nation McWilson!
January 28th, 2013 at 3:21 pm
Just like the “STOOPS TROOPS” Tshirts, lets get some McLOVIN!!! T-Shirts going for Marcus next season!
January 28th, 2013 at 3:25 pm
Nebraska fans are pissed off, lol. They called this kid their “best defensive recruit”. That’s saying something coming from a powerhouse like Nebraska….and he left there to come to Kentucky?
Pinch me.
January 28th, 2013 at 3:25 pm
Because 15, it wasn’t official until today…and if we use bbk’s mentality in reverse, they are trying to ruin our recruiting this year by saying things too early before they are official. That is what they said about Matt when he broke McWilson was visiting in the beginning. Sour grapes? Or still trying to sabotage the program because they were up Joker’s a*s.
January 28th, 2013 at 3:27 pm
Hopefully this will open the door for other of the top guys. How many scholarships does that leave us?
January 28th, 2013 at 3:28 pm
Great recruiting day!
January 28th, 2013 at 3:28 pm
We’re getting kids that the big schools want. In the past, most of our really good players were over-achievers that weren’t recruited that heavily coming out of high school. Completely off the subject… College hoops must be really down this year when a team can lose 3 in a row and only drop 7 spots. jus sayin
January 28th, 2013 at 3:28 pm
Could we end up with a top 25 recruiting class?
January 28th, 2013 at 3:29 pm
This is probably the best DB to ever commit to Kentucky. HUGE news! Now, Hearns, Hatcher, Timmons, Samples, and Badet need to follow suit. We have a lot of young talent coming in to the defensive side of the ball, all in all, the defense will be much improved this year. Can’t wait to see what these kids can do at the Spring Game. Go Cats!
January 28th, 2013 at 3:29 pm
Lets hold off a little bit before we start counting wins…….remember these are rankings of sports writers and scouts. ex Alex poythress
January 28th, 2013 at 3:30 pm
23) I think we very well could end up with a top 25 class. Surely we won’t be dead last in the SEC again, at least
January 28th, 2013 at 3:30 pm
So he chooses UK to get beat up by “the best” maybe he will get to make his first post season appearance and play in the east west shrine game his senior year.
January 28th, 2013 at 3:32 pm
Hell yea!!! Welcome aboard Big Mac Attack. Stoooooops doin work.
January 28th, 2013 at 3:37 pm
Stoops and staff are KILLING IT! Welcome to BBN Mr. McWilson!
January 28th, 2013 at 3:38 pm
GREAT news for the FB Cats!! Makes you wonder just how inept CJP and staff was at recruiting, huh?
January 28th, 2013 at 3:38 pm
Wheelbarrow!!!!!
January 28th, 2013 at 3:38 pm
Turn it on ESPN2. They just teased “find out why Bo Pelini is furious with one high school recruit.”
January 28th, 2013 at 3:40 pm
Stoooooooooooooooooopppppssss!!!!!!
January 28th, 2013 at 3:41 pm
Big get… Stoooooooooooooooooopppppssss!!!!!!
January 28th, 2013 at 3:42 pm
UL must not have had room. I would not want to sit behind Parker and Quick either when I could go UK and start….Good pickup for us….
January 28th, 2013 at 3:43 pm
this kid will be all over james quick nxt yr
January 28th, 2013 at 3:45 pm
#25 Dude, Poythress has an NBA-ready body and skill set, he just needs to learn to compete on the same level as other guys just as big and talented as he is. Good god you Kentucky fans are fickle.
January 28th, 2013 at 3:47 pm
35) Sit behind Quick??? He’s a safety … And ur a troll.
January 28th, 2013 at 3:50 pm
25=Blithering idiot.
January 28th, 2013 at 4:05 pm
#37 my point was just because people think they are gonna be good doesn’t make them good players or immediate impact players……… I agree with you about the body but that doesn’t mean he will ever development into an NBA player.
January 28th, 2013 at 4:07 pm
Am I going to be a bust or play this year? Wasn’t I a highly rated DB also?
January 28th, 2013 at 4:07 pm
#25 why am I an idiot? It’s a valid point that rankings don’t matter what matters what happens on the field. Look at the two starting qb’s in the superbowl neither one was highly rated out of high school.
January 28th, 2013 at 4:13 pm
@41 I think he makes an impact this season. Saw some playing time as a true freshman and was considered a starter last season before the season ending ankle injury. Look for that kid to be a great 1-2 punch with McWilson.
January 28th, 2013 at 5:09 pm
This gives cats a top5 recruiting class lets all wear some McGoofball shirts.
January 28th, 2013 at 5:28 pm
Liddle brudders look skeered!
January 28th, 2013 at 7:42 pm

January 28th, 2013 at 8:11 pm
Thanks BBK for letting me know about this a few days ago.
January 28th, 2013 at 9:00 pm
47 – I’m gonna go ahead and say Hearns will sign with the Cats. If I’m wrong, you’ll never hear from me again about it. If I’m right, well, you heard it here first.

our secondary is becoming studly
