ESPN Rates Southeastern Conference Football Recruiting Classes

ESPN.com has ranked the SEC’s football recruiting classes and they rank Kentucky at No. 10 overall. They give the Wildcats a B- grade overall.

Here is an excerpt about Kentucky:
[QUOTE]
[B]10. Kentucky Wildcats[/B]

[B]Top prospect:[/B] OT Zach West (Lexington, Kent./Lexington Christian Academy) is a very good tackle prospect with the size, short-area quickness and athleticism to develop into a very good run- and pass-blocker.

[B]Name to remember:[/B] Give RB Marcus Caffey (Atlanta/Grady) a year or two to build up his frame, because with added bulk and power, he could be a very good every-down college back.

[B]Breakdown:[/B] In his first recruiting class, Joker Phillips focused on offensive line and keeping the top in-state prospects home. Two of the Wildcats’ top commitments are future centerpieces on the offensive line. Top-25 tackles West and Darrian Miller (Lexington, Ky./Bryan Station) have great size and upside. There are several defensive upgrades as well, particularly at safety. The Wildcats went into Illinois for four-star prospect Glen Faulkner (East Saint Louis, Ill./East Saint Louis), an underrated defensive back with a lot of physical tools and savvy.
