Kentucky defensive end Jeremy Jarmon is just another reason why you can't put too much stock in recruiting rankings.
Coming out of Houston High School in Germantown, Tenn., Jarmon was a 240-pound defensive lineman who was offered by Memphis, Ole Miss and Kentucky.
Tennessee wasn't interested. Neither were most of the other SEC schools.
At age 17, Jarmon wasn't ready made.
To some, he didn't fit the bill.
But the Kentuckys of the world have to take a few chances. They have to roll the dice.
Wildcats coach Rich Brooks felt Jarmon had the ability to develop into a solid SEC player.
Brooks was right. Story here

Good read, thanks, maltshovel. And a tribute to the improvement of UK FB and the evaluation acumen of the UK staff. However...

it continues to be my hope that Cats can move up to the higher world of D1A FB. Of course, I've been hoping for more than 50 years but the trendline is definitely upward.
