At this point of the recruiting season, it's not just about who you add, but who you hold on to, and the University of Kentucky came through with a big save this week.

Alcoa, Tenn., athlete Randall Cobb reaffirmed his commitment to UK after visiting the campus for the Vanderbilt basketball game.

The UK staff is putting most of its focus on the defensive side of the ball. Cedar Grove, Ga., defensive end Gerald Rivers visited last weekend and is ready to commit, according to his coach, Ray Bonner.

Kentucky also needs help at receiver, and its primary target, Henry Clay's Aaron Boyd, visited Missouri this weekend. Boyd won't announce his decision until signing day, however. UK already has offers out to several other receivers including three-star prospects Matt Roark from Kennesaw, Ga., and Memphis Whitehaven's Marcus Rucker. Miami product Eric Ademayi and Atlanta's Corey Heard have also received offers. Fullerton (Calif.) junior-college prospect Marquis Avery has also expressed interest in UK.

As most of you may know, I think very highly of coach Sanders. This is just another reason why. Cobb pretty much said coach Sanders is the reason he's coming.

"It had always been a dream of mine to run through that big 'T' (at Neyland Stadium), but I felt like I just fit in perfectly at Kentucky. There was something iffy about Tennessee. It just seemed like there was more discipline at Kentucky."


An interesting quote from Cobb in this article. Looks like Phat Phils loose ship may be starting to hurt him in recruiting.......

I'm lovin' gettin' some of these Tennessee kids up here. I can see us deflating that big orange winbag pretty soon and starting a winning streak of our own.

I think that winning streak will start this coming season!!!! RV, do you think this kid has a shot to play QB here? Or his he going to end up a WR?

Not going to speculate until after he signs. If you think about it, we now have zero QB's on our roster that are limited to playing only the QB position, which is a good thing IMHO.
