Teven Eatmon and Raymond Sanders are in!

**Cody54** · February 3rd, 2010, 02:21 PM

Any word on DJ Howard, he may be the last big name we are expecting.

**Cody54** · February 3rd, 2010, 02:30 PM

I see he signed with Clemson.

This is from Aaron's Football Blog:

I contacted Dale Trimble and he told me he was "solid" to UK. He was about to sign just before lunch time. Trimble is still one of the top 5 commits in this class (my opinion).

Tyler Robinson was rumored to be a target by Tennessee. When I spoke with Avery Williamson last week, he told me Tyler was solid to UK. Could something have changed? Absolutely.

My only concern is no offensive line commits so far. Teven Eatmon will likely plan OL, but the Cats needs at least one in this class.

Also, the Cats haven't announced a LOI for a receiver. Hopefully something happens before the day is up. Jerrell Priester could play receiver, but is projected at cornerback based on our conversations.
