    Kentucky wants to use junior college recruiting to supplement roster

    Kentucky wants to be a “recruit and develop” program. However, you have to have players stay on your roster for multiple years to be developed. Last offseason, this program added 50 new players to the roster. Only 23 of them were high school signees. In the 2026 cycle, UK only has 13 high school commits. That means another big transfer portal class is on the way.

    But UK is looking at other ways to supplement the roster and add players to the program with multiple seasons of eligibility. How are they doing that? By going shopping in the junior college market.

      I wonder what's up with this change of philosophy? Stoops seems to indicate UK can't afford to buy players. If so, in my opinion, the program is in deep trouble.

          Yes, have to agree. Can't remember when I've been more pessimistic regarding the future of UK football.

              UK picked up another juco db with a commitment from Damare Williams.

                  Williams ranking and offer sheet is impressive. Urquhart not so much.
