staff was trying to get him up here this weekend. But that didn't work.

 

[Cackalacky]

UK rolled like 5 coaches into his house earlier. Stoops wasn't there but prolly every other coach on the staff was.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

He won the Paul Hornung award? Notre Dame lock.

 

[STLDomer]

Jarran Reed committed to Alabama

 

[EuropeanDomer]

Jarran Reed to Alabama (Juco), another DT.

FIFY

What is Alabama going to do with all of their DTs between now and August?

thats what training camp and cut day is for

I don't care what he says about competition, I think this clearly between UK and us now.

I hope so.

I will nominate Damian Square. He has been an underachiever for us.

 

[Ndaccountant]

The dreaded red tag in your locker....

A 3 star who didn't even crack the position rankings does seem a bit absurd considering his offer list and evaluations from elsewhere.

 

[Emcee77]

LOL that is hilarious! I had no idea he isn't even rated on Rivals. That's totally absurd.

He may be getting hit for his lack of competition in Ky. Most schools he played against are pretty bad.

 

[drake29]

Apparently Reed's commitment to Bama won't affect Elam - Reed is a 3-4 end in their system.

That never seems to hurt other teams from the south.........

Uh, yes you do. But we love ya Matt. Come on up.

I'm thinking UK may feel they are losing him if they sent half the staff to visit.

 

[T Town Tommy]

Doesn't seem to impact other teams from the south.........

I have been telling Bama for ten years to schedule the powerhouse teams from the other regions in the US. Heck, we could fill our nonconference schedule with all three of them that fall in that category.

I’m shocked, SHOCKED that they wouldn’t listen to you… also, I find it telling you immediately jumped to bama there, I was referring to the Hoover Bucs…

Ahhh... but my high school here in Bama owned the Whoovah Bucs. And their lovely coach Rush Probst. Two A Days... whatever. Go Prattville Lions!!!!

But honestly, Whoovah has been a powerhouse team for years. They have played, and beat, some of the best high school teams in the country. And outside of my Prattville Lions owning them for 4-5 years they own the state on Bama in high school football.

 

[dwshade]

A 3 star on Rivals, 4 star on Scout and 5 star on 247. I see him as a project with huge upside so I'd probably go with 4 star. I don't see him as an impact player his FR. year. Needs a year to develop his body as Nix did his FR. year.

You bite your tongue!




My alma mater plays in the Kentucky 2A state championship this weekend, so I'm obligated to defend the quality of Kentucky football.

 

[KyfightingIrish36]

Belfrey?

 

[IrishLion]

Belfrey?

No, Newport Catholic.

Belfrey is 3A I believe.

Newport Catholic was a mainstay in the top five in their classification every year when I went to high school in Ky. They have a good program for their classification. Good luck in the title game.
