'14 KY DT Matt Elam (Kentucky Verbal)

[ulukinatme]

Maybe he just "saves the best for last".


My wishful thinking anyway.

Meh, definitely skeptical given the love he's shown for Kentucky thus far and he listed them first.

I feel the same way. I think he's always been UK. The only thing I could see happening is Saban pulling it off at the last moment.

It kind of bothers me when recruits put out a list and it's not in alphabetical order. They say "in no particular order", but I can't help but analyze the order in which they list the teams. Gets me every time.

But he put exclamation points by us! Two of them!

Would make quality toilet paper.

Hmm, I don't think that's a real letter. There is no mention of him being the next percy harvin.

That's because Elam ate Percy Harvin.

 

[ulukinatme]

That's because Elam ate Percy Harvin.

Or half of him anyway, which is why Harvin needed to "half" surgery.

Would make quality toilet paper.

But would it be committable toilet paper?

If he took an official to Temple we'd know he's not just looking for a free game.

This is fantastic news. Want him most of all! Is it too early to know who might be visiting the same weekend?

He's Irish (who ya' callin' a pessimist)

Still think Elam is a silent commit to UK. Maybe with the OV the Irish can change his mind.

This very well may be true. I could see the pressure getting to him and committing to the coaches but telling that he wants to wait and have his moment. That way they stop bugging the crap out of him. However, I don't think he has a clue where he wants to go. Every time he does an interview he basically gushes about all the schools. This one probably has a lot of twists and turns before over.

Na, I think he's pretty sold on UK at this point, but if he's waiting till the season starts...a number of losses there could change his mind about them. Holley is the one that's been tough to read. He's been pretty non-commital about schools, and every camp has been just speculating who he likes from week to week.

Man, there will be so much on the line will all the kids OVing to that game in particular where it's possible we can get upset by them. A lot of poker chips are being put on that game from a recruiting standpoint so I hope that's the one game we do look great in over the others based on rumored attendance.

It happens every home game against USC. We bring in tons of high valued prospects and either ND shits the bed during the game or we whiff on a lot of 5*s. Most, I think, show up just to experience the game. Someone posted the list of the last two games and out of 30+ recruits, we got 6 of them and that does not include Greenberry and Tee.

We got some good ones (KR, Shembo, TJ etc) but we missed on the top tier ones.

Man, you said it. Every year we've lost at home since...like '02 or '03? I'm too lazy to go back and look right now. We've got to break that streak this year, it's high time.

Hope his mom comes with him otherwise it will be pointless. Need to really blow them away.
