Ad Disclosure
It isn’t a secret that Kentucky isn’t the hottest destination for potential recruits.
The Wildcats currently rank 11th in the SEC in recruiting. Mark Stoops and his staff have recruited the No. 32 class in the country, according to 247 Sports.
The Wildcats have a few solid four-star prospects in the 2016 class and the remainder of the class looks promising. They landed Drake Jackson, the No. 2 center in the country, and the 11th-ranked ILB in Kash Daniel. Four-star OT Landon Young is 6-foot-7 and weighs in at 270 pounds.
The pieces are there. It will be interesting to see how they pan out.
