While the recruiting day did not turn out like most Kentucky fans expected it to with Lamar Dawson and Jon Davis, the ‘Cats were still able to make the headlines.
Joker Phillips happened to nab a recruit from national powerhouse Alabama in Daryl Collins.
Collins, a native of Gadsden, Alabama, gave the Crimson Tide a verbal last spring.
However, on Wednesday he turned the tables.
Reports say Collins wanted the opportunity to play, and it looks like Kentucky gave him the best opportunity.
Collins passed on the grayshirt offer from Alabama, a life-long favorite team.
This was far from what Big Blue Nation had planned, but stealing a recruit from a top team is nothing to look over.
The receiver is classified as a 3-star for both Scout and Rivals.
I hope to have an exclusive interview with Collins very soon, discussing his commitment to UK.
