Unlike last year, Kentucky had no football signing day surprises — and that was a good thing.

Last year the Cats had numerous players decommit in the weeks leading up to national signing day. But Wednesday the Cats completed a 25-player class just like coach Mark Stoops expected.

“I think it starts with the nucleus of last year’s guys. Landon (Young) may have been the first guy. Drake (Jackson) really took a leadership role. I think it starts with those guys,” Stoops said Wednesday. “What was nice is they were such high-profile guys in state and they were so solid.

“I think the guys from Ohio that have been committed for a long time have been extremely solid.  I think this year we made it a point in just the message. A lot of times guys just want to take trips. What happens is when they want to take trips, it gets you that crack in the door, sends the wrong message to the other recruits.

The good thing is this years class is completely different and committed to the Cats.

I hope we see immediate results on the field from these boys!
