Author Topic: Getting Griffin from the heart of SEC country was good catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 02-04-2016 11:09 AM                     Georgia cornerback Jordan Griffin was ranked as the nation’s 15th best cornerback by Rivals.com and 16th best player overall in his home state. The 6-0, 175-pound Jones had 15 tackles and two interceptions last season for Jonesboro High School and also caught 68 passes for 1,008 yards and 10 scores. Kentucky coach Mark Stoops says Griffin has the size, instincts, speed and technique needed to play in the Southeastern Conference. He also avoided the temptation of breaking his verbal commitment to UK. Stoops knows hanging on to Griffin was important for a lot of reasons. “I think it was important because it was important from where he was at. Coming from the heart of the SEC, right in the Atlanta area, having every SEC school banging on him and knocking on his door. To win that so far away from home, in the heart of the SEC, I think is critical,” Stoops said. We know we had the nucleus of the five guys in state that were as solid as can be. We know we’ve been extremely strong with Vince’s leadership there in taking the lead role with the Ohio kids. It’s also important to supplement them, get guys from the south. To win the battle against a bunch of SEC schools, we’re very gratified.” Link -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186359 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 02-04-2016 05:22 PM                     Griffin is going to add to our defense and a really good recruit. -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186359 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 02-06-2016 11:09 AM                     Griffin is the type of player that could get playing time right from the get go. -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186359 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged m hamilton Player Member # 127 posted 02-06-2016 07:11 PM                     There are several players that will get major minutes as freshman next season for the Cats! -------------------- The potus is planning 1st major tax hike since '93 in next economic package!
